Hello members and supporters,****

** **

Attached in PDF are the procedural guidelines developed by the directors for
Farewell.  They are based on the Swiss model followed by groups such as
Dignitas and Exit. ****

** **

On June 29th the Swiss Federal Council declared that after careful study the
government was satisfied there was no need to further clarify how
right-to-die groups such as Dignitas or Exit work because the existing
processes ensure protection for vulnerable persons while also respecting the
right of individuals to self-determination.   The government press release
is here: http://www.admin.ch/aktuell/00089/index.html?lang=en&msg-id=39905 *
***

Farewell Foundation’s directors believe that the Swiss model is optimal for
Canada.  We are releasing our guidelines for public scrutiny and discussion
so that our procedures can be improved where necessary.  If you wish to
provide input to strengthen these guidelines, please send your reports,
comments and advice by email or regular post: ****
