The Observer has revealed that 800 Britons, the majority of whom suffer terminal illness, are on the waiting list of Swiss suicide clinic Dignitas. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland. In Britain, “anyone who aids, abets, counsels or procures someone else's suicide” is liable to fourteen years imprisonment.
The debate in Britain is a highly charged one for those who travel to Switzerland to help spouses and family members to die. This week, reports The Observer –“an influential group of peers, led by two former ministers in Tony Blair’s cabinet, will seek to end what they see as (an) outdated and inhumane situation”.
Two camps, two theories, and two visions of France: 18 years after the massacre of 800,000 Tutsis, the precise role played by Paris is still the subject of heated debate, fueled by the findings of successive criminal investigations. 
Agree to new austerity measures or risk being kicked out of the eurozone: that’s the alternative presented to Athens on the day the euro group is meeting. It’s a situation Greek politicians have failed to avoid, regrets To Vima. 
At a time when Athens is still involved in debt restructuring negotiations with its private creditors, Neelie Kroes’ recent allusions to a Greek exit from the euro are a sign that European leaders are intent on preparing the terrain for such an eventuality.
