Queenslanders desperate for a painless death have turned to Switzerland s world-renowned assisted-dying clinic ahead of the state considering similar end-of-life laws. Pegasos, a voluntary assisted dying clinic based in the northern Swiss town of Basel, is receiving almost daily inquiries from Queenslanders considering their deaths. The clinic, which opened in 2019, has received more inquiries from people in Queensland than any other state in Australia. Pegasos spokeswoman Fiona Stewart said the clinic recorded a growing number of referrals from Australia. Pegasos has regular weekly, sometimes daily, inquiries from folk in Queensland, she said. People are not necessarily looking to Pegasos to die, but they are looking for choice.
