Assisted suicide group signs deal with Swiss authorities

Exit, a Swiss association for assisted suicide, has signed a deal with the authorities regulating its activities, in the first move of its kind. Exit said the paperwork does not change how it operates, only formalizes its activities, and that it signed the agreement voluntarily. It believes the document ensures the "right to a dignified death" and "self-determination," two principles key to the idea behind assisted suicide. Top News
