The Swedish organization for the Right to Die in Dignity

The organization in Sweden for the right to die in dignity is named RTVD - Rätten Till en Värdig Död - which literally means/reads: The Right to a Dignified Death. The RTVD organization was established in 1974. Still there is not yet a law in Sweden that allows medical aid in dying.

It is, however, legal for a person, a family member or a friend, to be present - and in that respect help and assist - when a person commits suicide - without having to try to stop him/her. 

We regret to inform you that RTVD has no paid staff who may be asked to assist in matters of committing suicide in Sweden. 

If you need to contact us - please write a mail (in English) to info@rtvd.nu  -
