A man whose wife died while fighting in the courts for the right to end her life is applauding a vote in Parliament last night that means euthanasia will now be decided by a public referendum.
Sixty-nine MPs voted for David Seymour's End of Life Choice bill with 51 against.
The Bill allows for people suffering unbearably from a terminal illness that is likely to end their life within six months to request a medically-assisted death.
Matt Vickers' wife, Lecretia Seales, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2011.
She took legal action for the right to die with dignity. But she died in June 2015, just hours after the High Court ruled it was a debate that needed to be had by Parliament and not the courts.
Kim Hill speaks to Matt Vickers.
