LIESTAL, Switzerland — A 104-year-old Australian biologist who drew international attention to his right-to-die case ended his life in Switzerland on Thursday, an advocacy group said. And I’m very happy to end it,” Goodall said Thursday in the room where he died shortly after. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland, where the procedure is available for anyone who acknowledges in writing that they are taking their lives willingly — without being forced. On Wednesday, Goodall told a crowded news conference that medically assisted suicide should be more widely available. Hundreds of people — some far more frail than Goodall, who used a wheelchair — travel to Switzerland every year to take their lives.
