I'm surprised you said he couldn't afford Switzerland, I thought they weren't supposed to make money off help with dying? Are they secretly making money then, or is there paperwork that's expensive to file?

The last time I checked Switzerland was still your best bet to exit with dignity rather than spending the last several years of your life as a bedridden vegetable kept barely alive with drugs, like several of my relatives were. As an (apparently) rational person I really can't fathom why we put people through this slow torture, is it based on some medieval religious superstition or something?

Everybody is always making money, from the doctor to the person paid to build a machine to the person paid to move the body

The whole thing takes a lot of time and multiple round trips and stays which is expensive.
