Review of the year 2019 and outlook for 2020
29 January 2020
In 2019, general advisory work and suicide attempt prevention remained an important part of the activities of the non-profit member society DIGNITAS – To live with dignity – To die with dignity. In the frame of its national and international legal and political efforts, DIGNITAS wrote several submissions for political consultations and initiated, supported and accompanied court cases as well as political advances. In 2019, the number of members continued to grow and reached 9,822. Still fewer than 3% of all DIGNITAS members make use of an accompanied suicide; 256 individuals in 2019. In 2020, DIGNITAS will continue to engage in quality of life until the end, self-determination and real freedom of choice, combined with individual responsibility and advance planning.
