2 Arizona sisters who never returned home from trip to Europe died by assisted suicide

19. The Daily Mail article above says it's not the law, and Pegasos, in Basel, doesn't require illness

They started with the case of a 104 year old without a specific illness:

Professor Goodall was not sick. At 104 years of age, he simply said he had had enough and now was the time to go. His eyesight was failing, his mobility was going. Most importantly, he could not do the fieldwork that had sustained and driven him all his life.

The death of Professor Goodall raised important issues for the right to die movement in general, and for the individuals who would become the founding professionals at Pegasos.

Firstly, it showed that a person’s desire for a dignified and peaceful assisted death is not solely dependent on terminal illness. Old age and a failing quality of life can also play a role.

Secondly, David Goodall’s experience showed that the Swiss law on assisted suicide is well placed to serve the needs of people who may not fit the traditional criteria used in other places in the world where assisted suicide is legal.

Now, that is about twice the age of the sisters (one of whom was a palliative care doctor), and he did have generally failing abilities, but they may feel that age doesn't matter either.
