Dying paradise Switzerland |
|
Since helping to die is legal in Switzerland a lot of foreigners travel to Switzerland to be helped to die. The neighbors of the locations where the dying takes place protest against the constant stream of corpses taken out in coffins. The organisations that help people to die have to move location constantly and are often forced to hire a camper and assist the suicide along a road or deep in a forest. In The Netherlands euthanasia is legalised, but it is has to be carried out by a doctor and through a set of rules and regulation it is only possible for Dutch inhabitants. The foreigners that contact the Dutch association of voluntary euthanasia are advised to go to Switzerland.
