Swiss law since 1937 permits assisted suicide by anyone for altruistic reasons, although it has become the accepted practice that first there must be a doctor’s agreement and only lethal drugs can be used, taken orally – no injections. Reporting the “terminal suicide” to the police is normal procedure – nothing secretive. The Swiss do not rule out visitors provided they meet the time-honored criteria – a dying, competent, adult, and a local doctor after examination agrees they are terminal.
