Swiss hospital to allow suicide
A teaser:
A spokesman for the university hospital in Lausanne said the decision was taken after a long reflection.
He added that the conditions for permitting an assisted suicide remained very strict.
The practice is legal in Switzerland, but only for patients who are mentally competent and suffering from an incurable disease.
From the start of next year terminally ill patients in Lausanne's main hospital will be allowed to take their own lives on hospital premises, as long as they are of sound mind, are already too ill to return home, and have expressed a persistent wish to die. [/end of teaser]

If the patient is of sound mind and really thought it over, I see no problem.
