German Neighors Don't Like Assisted Suicide Apartments Either
Dignitas, the assisted suicide facilitating organization from Switzerland is extending its tentacles into Germany. Just as the Swiss neighbors of the group's suicide safe house objected to all of the corpses being carried out, so too now, have Germans:
The nihilism is so thick you can cut it with a knife.ZURICH (Reuters) - Right-to-die group Dignitas has been barred from its premises in a Zurich suburb after neighbors objected to the use of the apartment for assisted suicides, the local council said Wednesday.
It was the second blow for the non-profit association this year, after it was forced to move from a previous suburban Zurich apartment when residents complained.
Last week, the local council ordered the charity to stop using the new apartment and apply to change its official function from a residence to an "assisted suicide flat."
"Dignitas continued to ignore the ban and still carried out assisted suicides," council official Daniel Scheidegger told Reuters. "So we decided to enforce the ban."

I don't get nhilism. Most atheists I know are moral and upright, and talk about how beautiful life is. This is just weird. I've never understood such a massively destructive philosophy.
I can at least understand why some people might have the opinion that assisted suicide should be legal, but what does it take for someone to actually dedicate their lives to providing suicide to people?
These guys go way beyond nihilism, they actually believe in something; something very sinister.
I wonder if these folks really feel that life is hopeless and it's better to be dead than alive? I mean, they can't prove what's on the other side of the curtain, so why should they help us get there before our time is up? What's so great about death that they need to hasten our departure from the earthly plain?
