Zurich, Switzerland (LifeNews.com) -- The Dignitas assisted suicide facility in Switzerland is coming under investigation for allegedly killing a man with depression. Under the euthanasia law in Switzerland, someone can only be killed in an assisted suicide if they suffer from a terminal illness.
Swiss Judge Philippe Barboni has ordered an investigation of the death of Andrei Haber, a Romanian who lived in Fribourg.
Relatives notified Swiss authorities that he had planned to kill himself at the Dignitas facility.
"This case presents a particular fact: that the person didn't suffer from a serious or incurable disease, provoking severe pain. His motives were essentially psychological," Judge Barboni said, according to Swiss media reports.
Care Not Killing, a British-based group that opposes assisted suicide and euthanasia, commented on Haber's death and the resulting probe, which it called felicitous given that euthanasia advocates appear to prey on the depressed. . .

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Activist and muckraker Lila Rose has single-handedly helped gain national exposure for the glaring problem of the abortion industry covering up cases of sexual abuse of minors by encouraging them to get abortions. largely silent in response, one pro-abortion activists suggests her colleagues wake up.
Rose has taken it upon herself to go to abortion centers in states such as Arizona, Indiana and Tennessee and to find out what they would say to an underage woman who allegedly is a victim of statutory rape by a much-older boyfriend.
The results have shocked even veteran pro-life advocates with the emotionless ways in which Planned Parenthood staff members go out of their way to not report the sexual abuse to authorities. They even go further by encouraging Rose to hide the identify of her boyfriend from a state judge so she can avoid the state's parental involvement laws and have a secret abortion without her parents knowing.
The nationally-recognized pro-abortion groups like NARAL and Emily's List have ignores the videos and Planned Parenthood's response has mostly been to minimize their content, promise to do better, and to guard their taxpayer funding.
Mandy Van Deven, a writer at the pro-abortion blog RH Reality Check, says this response is problematic and that the pro-abortion movement will be found by the public to be guilty of an avoidance group-think if it fails to respond more appropriately.
Van Deven doesn't have much regard for Rose and her undercover "Dateline NBC"-style activism, but she acknowledges that they are effective.
"Though those methods raise many worthwhile ethical questions, few would have batted an eye had she not captured a handful of questionable encounters with Planned Parenthood staff," she writes, saying Rose's efforts are "damning" for her side of the abortion debate. . .
