Newsworthy News - Ludwig Minelli, founder of the Swiss right-to-die organization Dignitas, chose to end his life through assisted dying on November 29, 2025, just before his 93rd birthday. This decision reflects his lifelong commitment to self-determination in end-of-life matters. Minelli’s death through the very means he advocated for underscores his unwavering belief in individual autonomy and the right to choose one’s final moments. His passing has sparked discussions on ethical and philosophical grounds, particularly in a world where the legal landscape surrounding assisted dying is rapidly evolving...
Minelli’s death comes amidst a global shift in attitudes toward assisted dying. Since Dignitas’s inception, countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and Austria have legalized the practice. In the U.S., assisted dying is now permitted in 10 states, reflecting a broader acceptance of end-of-life autonomy.
