Esther Ranzen says she is too fragile to travel to Switzerland to end life

Broadcaster and campaigner Esther Ranzen said in 2025 that she did not travel to Switzerland for assisted dying before her cancer condition became what she described as "unbearable." Ranzen, who had previously stated her intention to pursue assisted dying in Switzerland, did not specify when she had planned to travel or the exact timing of when her health status changed. She indicated physical frailty as a factor preventing her from making the journey at that time.
