Tourism to Switzerland for assisted suicide is growing, often for nonfatal diseases:
One reason that people with non-terminal conditions might be traveling to Switzerland to die could be that people with late-stage diseases are less mobile, according to Michael Charouneau of the British group Dignity in Dying. We know that many of those who travel do so earlier than they would wish, whilst they are still physically well enough to make the journey, he said.
