UK group hails Swiss assisted suicide vote
None
Campaign group Dignity in Dying says Swiss voters have made a "brave decision" in rejecting calls to ban assisted suicide for non-residents. But anti-euthanasia alliance Care not Killing said it was disappointed after 78% voted against outlawing it, the BBC said.
Residents in Zurich were asked to decide whether assisted suicide should be banned, either for Swiss nationals or non-residents. Some 85% of the 278,000 votes cast opposed the ban on assisted suicide and 78% opposed outlawing it for foreigners, Zurich authorities said. (News agencies)
