Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Dignitas doesn't offer their services to those with tinnitus. Someone from TT has tried to go down that path - didn't work.

Havent you only got T for about 2 months? Way to early to consider euthanasia imo. There is still a good chance it could get better overtime.

NOW YOU TELL ME!
I read about a guy who killed himself waiting for them, I assumed it was just because it was taking too long.

That's good to know. I'll still keep my registry with them.

T isn't my only problem, but yes.

I still want to register with them, the euthanasia laws here and at home are barbaric.

I am the same, with T not being my only problem.

So how does this work? Dignitas is a euthanasia place? You pay $10,500 and wait till you get a call that you in come in?? Where is this at??

No one fucking puts those stories out that for an action to be done. Instead, they talk about habituations and hide the suicide stories.

It's an assisted suicide place in Switzerland. Anyone can go from around the world, however, so it's available to anyone who can travel there.

If you live in Switzerland, the assisted suicide takes place at your home.

If you're from abroad, you travel to their flat/facility.

The key term here is assisted suicide. They provide you with a poison that you drink mixed with water, this can also be fed to you in a tube. You ultimately have to be able to drink the poison or open the valve to your tube, they can't do it for you, as this would be illegal under Swiss law.

You have to first be a member of their group and then you need to be assessed at least twice in person for suitability. The whole process takes about 3 months or so. Some lurid stories have given the impression you can merely want to get euthanised one day and you can be on a plane the next. Not so.

Assisted suicide is offered to members who suffer from:
• a disease which will lead to death
(terminal illness), and/or
• an unendurable incapacitating disability, and/or
• unbearable and uncontrollable pain

The 10,500 Swiss francs covers everything, prep, doctor's consultation, funeral and cremation, all the official paperwork.
