New hope for the elderly!

There’s new hope for Europeans worried about vanishing pensions, a problem we’ve commented on recently: they can go to Switzerland and get humanely put down. From a recent survey it appears that 51% of all deaths in the country result from “end-of-life” decisions. A few old fogies are concerned about “suicide tourists” who want to see Switzerland and die. The better view, though, is to be hospitable. As one activist group points out, who wants to go back to the days of the Second World War, when refugees were turned back at the frontiers?
