Going to Switzerland is the first book of its kind to provide a step-by-step guide that explains how and why it is that non-Swiss nationals can get help to die in Switzerland.
The book explains the principal clinics who offer services to foreigners, the various application process, qualification criteria (especially as it pertains to a mental health diagnosis, including dementia/ Alzheimer’s), who gets the ‘green light’ and why, the different methods of death used by the different groups, & the differences in acceptance policies between the various clinics.
For family and friends, Going to Switzerland details what to expect before, during and after a VAD in Switzerland, as well as explaining cremation, death certificates, clinic costs (and refund policies).
Going to Switzerland provides invaluable background for anyone contemplating making a final trip to Switzerland & ties in well to the Application Assistance & ID/ Accompaniment Programs offered by Exit International.
