Last month, France passed a law authorising assisted dying. Medical advancements and an increasingly ageing population, have resulted in a handful of new laws on assisted dying across the EU, of which the French bill is the latest. But Western European countries show relatively higher acceptance than Central and Eastern European countries. Those countries are the only ones in Europe to allow foreigners to access assisted dying. Although Switzerland doesn’t keep official statistics on its non-residents, Dignitas, assisted 4179 deaths from 1998-2025, of whom 93 percent were non-Swiss.
