Help Requirements to qualify for VAD

[notMuchLeft1]

I've been considering VAD (voluntary assisted dying) because it seems like a clean way to CTB with no risks of failure. My country doesn't offer it except for very specific conditions like terminal illness, and so I've been looking into the organizations with looser requirements that facilitate this specifically in Switzerland. A couple of the organizations include Pegasos and Athanasios.

The justification I'm planning on using for my applications is that I suffer from gender dysphoria. Does anyone have experience with or know others who have gone through the process of applying for VAD? Are there any known cases where VAD is approved for people due to their dysphoria? The requirements I see listed on these websites tend to be somewhat vague and there's not much resources explaining what types of cases they usually accept.

Also are Pegasos or Athanasios legitimate? Are there any other clinics that are known to be reliable? Are there any strategies or guides for writing a successful application and passing the interviews, evaluations, etc?

I would avoid Dignitas. According to exit international they are the strictest in Switzerland. I also gathered this from information they sent me. All the best with it all.

Yeah it seems they have pretty strict requirements. The others I listed seem to be more open but it's unclear what their exact criteria are

Exit international recommend Athanasios. I find their criteria not clear enough too. It is not specific enough really.

I see do you happen to have a link or something to the exit international page? I was thinking about just submitting an application and seeing what happens, but I do want to maximize my chances at being accepted so it would be helpful to know what they're looking for so I can tailor my application

Regarding exit international...all they say is they recommend it. I asked exit if they could help me with an application and to be honest they didn't come in on my query. In my opinion, if you believe you have a case I would possibly risk the money for Athanasios application.

Well I'm thinking of first sending an application to some of the other organizations that also have less strict requirements, and then seeing what their response is. If they reject me, hopefully I can get information on why and improve my application. I'm not really concerned about gaming the system either to try and get a better result. I appreciate the tips though, it sucks the exit international people didn't give you more information

There is 1 I think called Last Chance or something similar where it is pretty much extremely liberal but you must be 50 up or over 50.

I have just heard that Pegasos requires a notarized signature from your parents if you are under 45. Fuck that.
