    "The Swiss government is considering restricting or even banning organised assisted suicide in an attempt to reduce so-called "death tourism".

    Swiss authorities want to ensure euthanasia is a last resort for the terminally ill, amid fears their current laws on assisted suicide could be open to abuse. A study last year suggested more and more people seeking help to die in Switzerland did not have a terminal illness."
