Kessler Twins Assisted Suicide Costs

Alice and Ellen Kessler contacted DGHS – which stands for German Society for Humane Dying – more than a year ago as they wanted to end their lives with dignity on the same day together, wetzel says. They ultimately decided to end their lives in their home in Grünwald near Munich this week.

We asked Wetzel to give us the rundown of the process, explaining a physician brings an infusion – an overdose of anesthetic – and inserts the patient with the infusion needle. The patients themselves have to open the infusion.Once the client is dead, DGHS informs the police. The company mediated more than 600 cases of assisted suicide last year.
