markomalley Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 PROBE ON 'WRONG TO DIE' CASE Nov 11 2005 A EUTHANASIA charity are being investigated over the death of a healthy German "suicide tourist." Dignitas believed the woman was terminally ill when they helped her take a lethal cocktail of drugs. But it later emerged that she had given them a false medical certificate. Prosecutors are now probing the incident at Dignitas's Swiss clinic. The doctor who helped the 69-year-old German administer the fatal drugs has since committed suicide. Yesterday, Dignitas founder Ludwig Minelli denied they had done anything wrong. He added: "Every person in Europe has the right to choose to die." Euthanasia is legal in Switzerland and Dignitas have helped 453 people end their lives Bolding mine. There have been some similar issues involving the death penalty.
