Maybe It's The Bad Checks?

Switzerland just announced that they would like to reduce the number of "suicide tourists" traveling to their country to take advantage of their lax suicide laws. (See prior post.)

And on the heels of that news comes this:

Euthanasia Clinic Says No More Cheques! Apparently a prominent clinic in Switzerland has decided to no longer accept checks for their services, instead collecting full payment up front.

‘Usually we’d just ask for another means of payment but these people often come in the Friday before a bank holiday, and by the time the cheque is finally declined all there’s left to contact is a pot of ash, which makes it very difficult to set up a direct debit.’
