Statement of the National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics in the field of human medicine

The National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics (NCE) supports the liberal provision of article 115 of the Swiss Penal Code, which provides that assisted suicide is legal, as long as it is not motivated by selfish motives. The NCE also advocates placing euthanasia organisations under state supervision in order to ensure "compliance with quality criteria for the clarification of suicide assistance decisions".
