There is little doubt that Lifecircle’s most famous customer was 104-year old Exit member, Professor David Goodall, who died at the clinic in May 2018. Before David Goodall, Lifecircle was an organisation founded by Swiss doctor, Erika Preisig.
While Lifecircle has, in past, run an active and busy assisted suicide clinic, Lifecircle now only conducts a handful of VADs each month.
Lifecircle’s clinic is located in an industrial estate on the outskirts of the town of Liestal: about a 20 minute drive (in good traffic) from Basel. When Exit has accompanied our members to this clinic in the past, we have driven the mountain road (vis a vis the freeway through Basel’s notorious heavy industry) to try to soften the impact of the location of the clinic (whose neighbours include a gravel supply business as well as automechanics and car panel-beating).
Pegasos - Liestal
The newest assisted suicide group to cater to foreigners is Pegasos Swiss Association. Founded in August 2019 by the brother of Lifecircle’s Erika Preisig, Ruedi Habegger, Pegasos operates from the same building as Lifecircle, only on the ground floor. The same descriptors therefore apply. Pegasos is staffed by a small team, and seems to conduct VADs just about every day of the month.
While Pegasos operates on much the same charging model as the other groups, they may be more flexible in their refund policy. Note - a psychiatric assessment costs £500 and seems to be billed
