Have any of you guys looked into this before, or better still made an application? Or have you personally known anyone who has died this way? I'm thinking of applying this week and wanted to see if anyone on here has made any enquiries about it before? Or if non of the above, what are your thoughts about this method if a person is eligible?
The laws in Switzerland are pretty relaxed if you have chronic and/or debilitating conditions. I've looked at a few different companies and settled on the one I got the best feeling about (probably the wrong one knowing my luck lol). It's 100CHF (approx $125) for the application fee, then if accepted the remaining balance is paid in two instalments. The total cost for international patients is 9500CHF (approx $12,000), this also includes cremation, URN, and URN shipping. Yes it's expensive, but just pay on a credit card(s), it's not as if you'll have to pay it back. Well, check the laws in your country, but I'm pretty sure in the U.K. that upon death personal debt is written off, so family will not be liable to repay.
For those who are interested, the company I'm looking at starts with an A and ends with an S. I'm not sure if I can give the full name here sorry, I should be able to because it's a legal method, but I don't want to break any rules or anything.
Only Sodium Pentobarbital is used (I wish I could get this myself somehow lol).
I also wanted to post this in case anyone has not considered this before, or are afraid of dying by SN or another method and would prefer to die in a supported medical facility. For those of us with chronic conditions it's definitely something worth considering in my opinion. I'm going to apply sometime this week, it's probably going to take some effort as I'm guessing this won't be an easy process getting all the necessary paperwork etc, but I'm going to give it a shot. The application fee is non refundable if unsuccessful, not much to lose in my opinion.
Edit: Due to an unfortunate and frustrating comment that I received from someone (that will hopefully be deleted), I feel it necessary to make it absolutely clear that this will not be an easy process. I honestly thought (given the fact that it's assisted suicide) that that would go without saying, but even so I still said in my OP that this won't be an easy process (this is now in bold in the OP, and it is the original text I wrote). But for some reason this person said that I was "listing this as easy" even though I literally said that it won't be. I apologise if my post comes across that way despite me saying it won't be easy; I've now took steps to make this even clearer. Anyway, because of this I've had to edit my post and make this comment so hopefully no one else thinks that I'm "listing this as easy" or anything of the sort. I thought that everyone would realise that getting killed legally won't be easy lol.
I spend a lot of time on the vast majority of my posts because I put a lot of thought and effort into them, making changes many times because of my indecisiveness and OCD. Even the short ones take me an unusually long time, in fact I'm starting to think that I suffer with "Post Anxiety" lol. I do this to try and avoid any misunderstandings and/or misinterpretations etc, and avoid getting comments like the one I received. Hopefully this clears everything up.
