How much finance is needed and what’s the procedure to do so (not medical but how to approach the professionals)? Is Switzerland the only place where accepts foreigners and did they have any successful cases who used any inherited neurobiological disorder as a reason?

Thanks for your help and I would like to know more about euthanasia too. Have a nice day.

      Sounds painful with a high possibility of breaking bones then drowning while conscious. I’d recommend an inert gas that’s not CO2 and readily available, like nitrogen or something (CO2 buildup in the blood is what gives the sensation of suffocation). If you’re worried about people finding you and a mess, get an enema and stay a bit dehydrated first, and also ensure your body’s found within the first 2-3 days if possible (the first thing your corpse does is shit itself, and rot sets in pretty quickly).

      This of course presumes you’re making the decision to end yourself while of sound mind, not in some panic, feeling trapped or completely hopeless. There’s usually a way out that’s not as permanent and can lead to future positive interactions that make continued living worth the pain. That said, I’ll never judge someone whose pain outweighs their will to live.

      A lot of people seeking euthanasia are in a very weak physical condition, in which getting by themselves and jumping from said bridge would be a feat. This includes people who are bedridden or who have temporary memory blackouts, you have people who would if only they were allowed to leave hospital or if their families would leave them alone to do so.

      People seeking this usually aren’t healthy, independent and self reliant. Those already jump the bridge.

        Oh you are right, I didn‘t even think of those people. Whenever I hear suicide i associate it with mental problems. When I think about it now, I probably wouldn‘t want to live any longer if I was bedridden.

          Correct. Essentially, you are not living anymore but are forced to by law and the desires of those around you who are more focused on their wants than your’s. It’s inhumane to ignore a plea for mercy, and yet that’s what people do.

          Overdosing is one of the easier options, but assisted suicide always requires assistance.
