5:53Now PlayingMPs have voted in favour of a bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales, voting 330 to 275 in support.
The historic vote comes after five hours of passionate debate during which MPs shared personal stories, while those against the bill called for better end-of-life care.
The bill passing the first stage in the Commons means it will be followed by months of parliamentary activity before it becomes a law.
Laws throughout the UK currently prevent people from asking for medical help to die and there are several requirements for a patient to be eligible under the proposals.
