Within the limits of the possibilities available to the association, DIGNITAS counsels its members and also non-members in regard to all end-of-life issues and in difficult circumstances of life.
Membership<\/a><\/strong>
DIGNITAS is a militant self-determination, autonomy and dignity help-to-live and right-to-die association, and fights internationally for the \u201dlast human right\u201d on a legal and political level. Members have access to the services of DIGNITAS and show their solidarity with others who care for freedom of choice in life and at the end of life.
Suicide and suicide-attempt prevention<\/a><\/strong>
The predominant number of suicide attempts fails \u2013 with severe consequences. Also, suicide is still a taboo. DIGNITAS engages in education, clarification of facts and prophylaxis of suicide-attempts.
Patient\u2019s Instructions<\/a><\/strong>
Also called Advance Directive, Advance Decisions to refuse treatment or Living Will. For the duration of their membership, DIGNITAS supplies its members with legally effective Patient\u2019s Instructions basing on Swiss law. These must be respected by doctors and hospital nursing staff.
Accompanied suicide<\/a><\/strong>
In case of an illness which will lead inevitably to death, unendurable pain or an unendurable disability, DIGNITAS can arrange, on reasoned request and medical proof, for its members the possibility of an accompanied suicide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
