Neighbours of Swiss suicide clinic complain as corpses clog up the lift
2006-06-04
The Swiss clinic where dozens of people have been helped to die, including British patients, has a new problem: the neighbours are complaining that they are fed up with bodies being taken out of the apartment block, where the clinic is located, in the communal lift. The group Dignitas, which has attracted controversy since it began to offer assisted suicide eight years ago, uses a flat in a building on the outskirts of Zurich. More than 40 British patients have ended their lives in the flat, where a doctor administers a lethal injection after correct legal procedures have been followed.

But residents of the apartment block say they have had enough of the bodies being taken down from the fourth floor in body bags in the lift. One resident, Gloria Sonny, 52, told the British Medical Journal: 'Almost every day the bodies of people who have chosen to kill themselves are taken down in the lift. It's horrid and I've had enough.'
