Finally 104-year-old scientist ends his life at Swiss clinic

A 104-year-old Australian scientist who had campaigned for the legalization of assisted dying in his home country has ended his life at a Swiss clinic, a representative from the pro-euthanasia group Exit International has been quoted by CNN.
 
David Goodall, a respected botanist and ecologist, according to CNN, died Thursday at the Life Circle clinic in Basel, Switzerland, after administering a lethal drug under the guidance of doctors.

Exit International, which represented the scientist, said Goodall passed away while listening to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

Two days before he was due to die, Goodall told the US based News Channel that his life stopped being enjoyable "five or 10 years ago," in part because of his failing mobility and eyesight.

"My life has been out in the field (working), but I can't go out in the field now," was quoted by CNN.
