Help Pegasos

[xxfailurexx]

Terrible success getting answers from pegasos. Try to ask simple generic questions and they want my medical records. Customer service clearly is horrible.

Please help answer:

1. Where to find someone to travel with me to identify body after? Can that person be unrelated? Will pay whoever for helping

2. No contact with family for decades and will not contact them. What if nobody can be notified of my death? Would there be an exception?

3. Any actually useful organization that can help with getting prepared to apply for VAD with pegasos?

Thanks

There have been threads on this already. But I'll try to briefly summarize. (These are my observations based on my experience).

1. You don't need a travel companion. But you will very likely need panoramic dental X-rays, (instead). Exit International used to have a companion service but they no longer do that. I have heard of people arranging this privately but there's nothing official that I'm aware of.

2. Notification of deaths is orchestrated by Pegasos and the embassy of the country of origin. This is a topic to be explored once you have a VAD, since it's unique for everyone.

3. The application: Exit International also used to provide a service for filling it out, but they no longer do this either. If you haven't started it already, I would begin one section at a time. (You would need to be a member to get a private login). My experience is that it's easier to do that than get a home loan or apply for some colleges. But perhaps if some sections become daunting and you can't get any help from Pegasos you could certainly reach out here.

You'll need some medical records. These are to support your reasons for requesting the assisted suicide. You will also need a passport, of course (unless you're a Swiss resident), and official copy of your birth certificate and copies of other documentation, for example driver's license and marriage and/or divorce records.

The good news is you won't need actual "approval" from family but they will want to notify someone (this has become an issue because of the bad publicity in the last few years).

It's unclear at what stage of the process you're in. But everything has to be done "by the book" because of what's going on - this is the death of a human being. And the Swiss are very meticulous about details. (Rolex, e.g.)

If, however, you can make it through what may feel like a maze, and can come up with the necessary funds ($15,000, at the very least, depending on travel expenses, etc), I believe this is the gold standard for an assisted suicide - more like CTL (catch the limousine).

If you are in the US there is a group called 'Final Exit' you can check out.

Thanks . What constitutes family. If the patient's parents have died , do they need to produce parent's death certificate? I am sure distant relatives ( whom the patient might not be in contact with) won't matter?

Can the patient request them to notify friends who are not blood related?
