Australian (104) euthanized in Basel

104-year-old Australian David Goodall, who traveled to Switzerland for euthanasia, died in Basel on Thursday.

The oldest scientist in Australia, who had previously attempted suicide, traveled half the world because he was not allowed to die in his home country.

Goodall no longer saw life since a fall had severely damaged his mobility. He spoke openly about his destination on Monday in Basel. With his act he hoped not only to find personal peace but also to unleash a discussion about euthanasia in Australia. 'I regret that I have reached this age,' said the elderly man.
