Parliament votes against a fresh attempt to legalise assisted dying
from The World Tonight · host BBC Radio 4
MPs voted 286 to 270 against proposals to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales. We speak to supporters and opponents of attempts to change the law and ask if there's a different way to address the end of life debate. Also in the programme: As the United States marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we hear from the very last survivor to escape from the South Tower of the World Trade Center before it collapsed. And bidding farewell to the Scillonian III, the much-loved (and hated) ferry that’s been sailing between Penzance and the Isles of Scilly for 49 years.
