    I thought it might be good to post this, since we have talked about "death with dignity" here on the forum. Here is a news article about him:

    Across his life, he campaigned passionately for the right to die, giving Dignitas the slogan "dignity in life, dignity in death".

    In a 2010 interview with the BBC, he said: "I am persuaded that we have to struggle in order to implement the last human right in our societies. And the last human right is the right to make a decision on one's own end, and the possibility to have this end without risk and without pain."
