Despite a clear majority supporting the bill, which would have allowed terminally ill adults to choose their own end of life care, it was ultimately rejected by 286 votes to 270.
This outcome was hardly surprising given the emotive nature of the debate and the genuine concerns raised by opponents about safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
