'Going to Switzerland' for Assisted Suicide Is Getting So Popular It's Become a Euphemism
"Suicide tourism" in Switzerland doubled between 2009 and 2012—a rise that may affect legislation in other countries.
For a fee, anyone with an terminal or unendurable illness can utilize the services of Dignitas, a Swiss organization that's helped more than 1,100 people from across the planet commit suicide.
The only catch: Those patients had to get to Switzerland, which has virtually no definitive regulations on assisted suicide (AS). It is unique in the world in that way; all other countries have bans or clear restrictions.
