After 46 years together, a British couple decided to perform euthanasia together because they didn’t want to be alone.
The 86-year-old engineer, who was a former Royal Air Force employee, could not come to terms with the idea of living without his 80-year-old partner. After she was diagnosed with vascular dementia, he decided to die with her.
“I would like to go for a walk with Peter in the Swiss Alps, by the river. For the last dinner, I would like to eat a meal and drink a bottle of Merlot wine,” said the woman.
Now they are preparing to go to Switzerland to die in each other’s arms in a ‘death capsule’.
