"Swiss right-to-die group gets green light for new suicide room"

"I expect that we will go ahead with the conversion because the reason for it is clear," said Exit Managing Director Bernhard Sutter. "Patients who live in Basel, who cannot be helped at home and who cannot travel to Zurich would have a place where they can die."
Exit helps the vast majority of patients at their homes and the assisted suicide room is for people who do not have their own bed to die in.
When I read this I couldn't help think of "mattress girl".

Wait until the Italians get involved with their tourist industry: "Vedi Napoli e poi muori"

I think Oklahoma should study the rooms and make them available in their prisons.

A "suicide room" is creepy in a way that diverts attention from the larger creepiness that Government Cronies Kill Oldsters for Profit.

Basel? Zurich? What About Montreux?!

Dying in bed
It is so boring
Try dying instead
On marble flooring
Or better yet die
Into a Dada dream...
