Pegasos Swiss Association is a Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) organization
Pegasos, a non-profit based in Basel, Switzerland, believes that it is the human right of every rational adult of sound mind, regardless of state of health, to choose the manner and timing of their death.
Our services remain fully operational, despite the rumors that have been circulating. Also: none of our permanent staff members have left us, whoever states that is lying.
“The right to die is a human kindness, a compassion that should guide us in all our interactions throughout life. It is absurd that we must still plead for a gentle, safe and dignified way out when it comes time to end our own precious existence here.”
R. Habegger
Founder of Pegasos
Pegasos Advocacy
Pegasos advocates for the fundamental right of every individual to choose their own path at life’s end. We are dedicated to protecting personal autonomy, advancing the right to self-determination, and promoting the worldwide legalization of assisted dying grounded in compassion, dignity, and respect.
