Dr Goodall, who spoke outside Perth Airport before boarding his flight in afternoon on 2 May 2018, said he was sorry he had to travel far away.
“I have supported voluntary euthanasia for many years and I’m sorry I have to travel to Switzerland,” he said. “I would prefer to do it in this country. This country is my home and I’m sorry I have to go a long way away in order to end my life.”
Flanked by family members, Dr Goodall said he would be travelling first to Bordeaux in France to farewell other relatives, before moving on to the Swiss city of Basel. There he plans to end his life, at a clinic which has approved his application for euthanasia.
“I’ve no pains — I’ve lived quite a good life until recently,” Dr Goodall said.
“The last year has been less satisfactory because I couldn’t do things — I couldn’t travel, I couldn’t even use public transport.”
Dr Goodall’s final trip, which is being supported by euthanasia advocacy group Exit International, has made world headlines, with more than $20,000 raised to upgrade him to a first-class seat from Perth.
