The Assisted Dying Bill would have allowed doctors in the UK to prescribe lethal injections to some terminally ill patients with less than six months to live.
The bill was overwhelmingly rejected by 330 votes to 118 in Friday Sep 11,2015 vote.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and religious groups, including the Church of England, had said they were opposed to changing the current laws.
Campaigners for a change in the legislation said it could lead to up to 1,800 people a year being helped to end their lives in their own country with dignity
