'Suicide tourism': creating misleading ‘scientific’ news

[...]legal investigation is initiated by the organisations that provide assistance in dying as a matter of efficient and respectful provision of information about the voluntary nature of the death. [...]despite the long-established avenue of accompanied/assisted death by Swiss self-determination membership societies, such as Exit and Dignitas, deaths in Switzerland with such assistance account for only about 1% of all deaths each year, the latter being a stable number of around 60 000 for many years. 8 Much is at stake when researchers, through sloppy research methods and analysis, mislead other researchers, news media and the public.
