[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My vague plan is to go to the assisted suicide Pegasos clinic in Basel if I’m ever diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or something where it will clearly be a long, horrible, irreversible decline. Last I heard it was $11,000 and no terminal illness diagnosis required. [/quote]

If a person decides to sign ip for this, what about the life insurance aspect?  I’d want to leave family something. [/quote]

Well, you can leave them your estate but no, you can’t do a planned suicide and then expect a life insurance payout.[/quote]

I actually asked about this years ago, in a joking way when getting our life insurance policies (10-year term) in place. I was told that after a 2-year period, even death by suicide would be covered. I believe that the thinking was that after 2 years, even if a person had purchased a policy with the intent to kill himself, by the 2-year mark the original impulse would have passed. Not sure if this applies to all policies so I would check the details of your particular policy.[/quote]
