Abstract:
In Switzerland, altruistic assisted suicide is permitted. We present here the federal regulations, the deontological rules, the provisions adopted by the cantons and other requirements applicable to assisted suicide. Given the complexity of these different rules and the legal questions that remain open, we recommend the preparation of brochures for patients, as well as better training and support for people faced with requests for assisted suicide.
