Assisting a suicide in Switzerland
Hi, this is a complicated situation, but I'll try to keep it brief as possible. There's me, in an EU country with a student visa on my American passport, wanting to assist my friend's suicide. There's my friend, an EU citizen and resident, experiencing a severe reduction in quality of life after a vehicular accident. We're both in our twenties.
At the time that my friend's parents and I secured our respective legal permissions to make decisions for my friend, they were decidedly unable to make decisions for themself. They are now conscious again, alert to time and space, and able to communicate, and are quite clear in expressing that they would like to end their life.
My friend was previously an employee in the United States, and received a large insurance payout that accumulates monthly in their American bank account. When they moved home after their accident, their parents gave me power of attorney in the United States to be able to access their accounts and transfer the payout, and tie up other loose ends like ending their lease. Because I understand Swiss laws regarding assisted suicide require the assistant's motives to be unselfish, I plan to transfer power of attorney to someone else first, so there is no suggestion that I am financially benefitting from their passing.
A few months from now, we plan to travel to Switzerland together, where my friend will legally end their life. They reside with their parents now, and their parents secured some legal rights over their medical decision making in their country of origin when they were previously comatose, but their parents are unaware of our plans and would probably not provide permission if they knew. We are not clear exactly what decision making powers they have in my friend's country of origin, and we do not want to ask for clarification because it may tip them off. Our current plan is to remove them from their parents' home discreetly and hire a driver to bring us by car to Switzerland. There, I plan to acquire a controlled substance, one that creates an overwhelmingly pleasant feeling, and prepare a syringe for my friend, who will them inject themself.
We do not plan to solicit help from a non-profit or other org that offers help with assisted suicide; it will be just us in a remote location with a pretty view. After it is done, I plan to contact local authorities and provide receipts of our chats and maybe a pre-recorded statement from my friend, to verify that this was an assisted suicide, and neither an accidental overdose nor a murder. I am prepared to pay the likely fine associated with first-time possession of the substance we will use.
I want to know how I can resolve the legal aftermath as quickly and painlessly as possible, so I can focus on updating my friend's family and our friend group next. I also want to know if there are any other important considerations I have missed. Any advice is much appreciated, thank you.
