The founder of the euthanasia clinic and organization Dignitas, Ludwig Minelli, has received active euthanasia at the age of 92, the organization announces.

"Until the end of his life, he continued to search for additional ways to help people exercise their right to freedom of choice and self-determination (...)," the organization writes in a press release.

Swiss Minelli founded the organization Dignitas, which offers active euthanasia, among other things, in 1998. Since then, the organization has helped thousands of people die.

In Sweden, active euthanasia is not legal. However, in October, the Riksdag supported a motion to investigate the possibility of active euthanasia under “clearly defined and strictly regulated forms.”
