New Swiss Group Reviewed
Finally, Exit is in the position of being able to recommend a Swiss assisted dying/ assisted suicide organisation for Members.
|
After a hiatus of more than a year, Exit is pleased to announce and be able to recommend as a new Swiss Option, the Athanasios Association in Basel.
|
The Peaceful Pill eHandbook is also updated.
|
We say 'new-old' because the team behind Athanasios are all former Pegasos staff who have broken away to form their new group. Athanasios prides itself on the highest ethical standards and practice.
|
Athanasios is a breath of fresh air, especially as they:
|
- Cater to couples
- Cater to elderly people who are not terminally ill
- Offer transparency in all they do
- Undertake to answer emails within 24 hours
- Assign a dedicated counsellor per client
- Offer travel & logistics support
- Offer post-event family counselling
- Are located very close to Basel Euro Airport
- Are committed to working with Exit International

Autopsy Prompts Serious Questions of Schaffhausen Sarco Investigation
On Sunday, the Zurich paper, NZZ on Sunday, published a significant article on the state of the investigation into the Sarco by the Schaffhausen prosecutor.
|
Written by investigative journalist/ deputy editor-in-chief, Alain Zucker, the article asks important questions regarding the manner of the ongoing criminal investigation.
|
In particular, the article questions the apparent discrepancies between what was said during the ‘infamous' phone-call (which was used by the prosecutor for his allegation of strangulation. The strangulation allegation was used as the basis for pre-trial detention of the founding President of The Last Resort, Dr Florian Willet) and the actual contents of the official autopsy report.
|
Exit’s Swiss lawyers were finally provided with a copy of the autopsy report last week, some eight months after the Sarco was used. The prosecutor received the report in March but did not pass it on.
|
The release of the autopsy report by the prosecutor comes one week after it was discovered that Florian took his own life.
|
In January 2025, Florian was diagnosed with an 'acute polymorphic psychotic disorder (F23.0)’. According to his psychiatric report this 'developed following the stress of the pre-trial detention’.
|
Florian’s death is tragic. He is very missed by all who knew him. The Sarco project continues in his memory.

Registrations Open
On June 29/30, EXIT will hold its next online short-form Workshop, known as a Snippet.
|
There are 2 dates and 2 events in order to ensure a civilised attendance time for all.
|
June Topic - ‘Does Nitrogen Hypoxia cause Convulsions’?
|
This topic is especially relevant given the horror stories which have emerged when nitrogen hypoxia has been used to execute death row prisoners.
|
It is also pertinent given the use of Sarco in Switzerland in September 2024.
|
Does Nitrogen Hypoxia provide a peaceful death or not? And what difference does it make if the administration is via a bag, mask or the Sarco?
|
The last Snippet was held in March 2025.
|
The March Topic was ‘Does Nembutal cause Drowning’? A recording of this Snippet is published within the Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
|
|
Snippets are exclusive for Exit Members & Subscribers to the Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
