Pegasos Swiss Association or Pegasos is a non-profit[1] group based in Basel, Switzerland with a minimal-bureaucracy approach to assisted suicide. (They also used to have an office in Melbourne, Australia,[2] which is now closed). In Greek mythology, Pegasus is a winged horse that the Pegasos association sees as symbolizing how patients speedily escape gravity on their final journey.[3]
