Keys reject amending laws on assisted dying

There'll be no further discussion in the House of Keys on legalising assisted dying.

Rushen MHK Juan Watterson had sought to introduce a private members bill to change Manx law on the issue.

Mr Watterson says despite the result, the issue needs to be discussed
