World Right to Die Day: Call to lawmakers: Better respect for the end-of-life choices of your citizens, please!
When suffering individuals are barred from access to voluntary assisted dying, this is often caused by lawmakers. For this reason, today the World Federation of Right to Die Societies demands recognition for the inherent right to die. In Switzerland, the right to one’s own death is generally recognised. In a joint call, the six Swiss Self-Determination Associations request lawmakers to respect individual end-of-life decision and refers to the situation in Europe, where aid in dying is still a criminal offence in some countries.
