Review of the year 2025 and outlook for 2026
18 March 2026
Working towards good conditions for freedom of choice regarding the end of one’s own life –
More countries and more complex medical conditions
In 2025, the long-standing legal commitment of the non-profit membership association “DIGNITAS – To live with dignity – To die with dignity” and the political activities for the human right to self-determination regarding one’s own end in life continued. In Switzerland, the association focussed on securing access to voluntary assisted dying for residents of residential homes. Internationally, the association has intensified exchanges and knowledge transfer with organisations and individuals who are committed to freedom of choice and self-determination at the end of life. The comprehensive advisory work for individuals seeking help and suicide attempt prevention remain at the core of DIGNITAS’ activities.
