On July 29, 2010, Mechele Causse chose to End her life on her 74th Birthday with the help of Dignitas before a Live Film Crew, which was subsequently broadcast on Swiss TV. This filming was her Protest against her native France for not Legally allowing Euthanasia. Although not terminally Ill, Ms. Causse was suffering from many illnesses, and decided to put a period to her existence before her conditions significantly worsened.
