In Switzerland, the word of the year in the German speaking part of the country is Sterbetourismus, which means death tourism. (Swissinfo news link.) In Switzerland, assisted suicide is legal, and most Swiss people support it in polls, but quite a lot do not like the idea of foreigners travelling to the country to be helped to the other side. Only one organization does this, Dignitas, and they recently had some trouble renewing their lease because their neighbors in a suburb of Zürich didn't like to see the bodies coming out.
