CNN -- The law on assisted suicide in Switzerland isn't clear, according to a paper published in the journal Law, Ethics and Medicine this week. That's why, the authors say, people from other countries are traveling to the state of Zurich for the "sole purpose of committing suicide." They're called suicide tourists. "In the UK, at least, 'going to Switzerland' has become a euphemism for (assisted suicide)," the study authors write.

Объясняет medical lawyer (офигеть профессия, жаль, не военный!): "If Switzerland is happy to continue providing the facility then, however intellectually dishonest it may be to allow her to siphon of all our own English pain, fear, angst and debate, is it likely to do less harm overall than introducing any conceivable assisted suicide law into England," medical lawyer Charles Foster wrote in a commentary accompanying the new journal study.
