08.02.2004 — But Dignitas hasn't only come under fire for helping foreigners; it has also caused controversy by offering to help those who suffer from mental illnesses such as severe depression or schizophrenia.
Last year it helped four people with psychiatric problems to take their own lives.
The controversy stems from the fact that critics, among them doctors, say that mentally ill patients are not capable of taking a rational decision, as required by law, to end their lives.

The whole unique thing about someon taking his/her own life is that they will come back in another costume with the same traits.
