And here's the thing about media epitomized by this story: Even though it could be perceived as being critical of suicide tourism, there are no quotes from anymore that challenge the fundamental premises of the assisted suicide movement. Reporters, it seems, have sucked the cultural helium in a bag and don't feel the need to present contrary views. The media has been cheering the culture of death for a long time.

"Suicide tourism?"
Not much hope for return business there.

But the use of helium smacked to many Swiss of Nazi gas chambersI love the irony.
They tore down the Berghof stone by stone, so barely the foundations remain - to keep Hitler's mountain retreat from becoming a tourist site.
And now they're promoting Switzerland as an attraction for a different final solution seventy years later.
Irony.

Sounds like we all should avoid visiting Switzerland.

Gee whiz.
Rudy Maxa had just about convinced me to move to Switzerland, and now this.

I'm no psychologist. I did once watch Kevorkian describe one of his victims. I swear it sounded to me as though he was getting sexual gratification talking about an act of dying.
I will believe it for the rest of my life. Kevorkian is as evil as any object of any horror story ever told. Are the Swiss following suit?
