The 104-year-old Australian scientist David Goodall died, who was forced to leave his native country to end his life as a result of euthanasia.

This is reported by CNN. Goodall passed away listening to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".

In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, two days before his death, Goodall said that his life had ceased to bring him pleasure "five or ten years ago" for the most part because of the inability to move independently and the severely impaired vision.

"I would really like to go back to the garden and see what's around me. I still like birdsong. But my vision seriously worsens perception, "added the father of four children, who during his long life had three wives.

"At my age I get up in the morning, I have breakfast, and then I just sit until dinner, and then I have a little dinner and just sit. What is the use of this? "- said the scientist, who appeared in an interview in a T-shirt with the inscription" Aging shame ".

Euthanasia is illegal in Australia. Goodall said in an interview that he hopes that his story will lead to the legalization of this procedure in other countries.

David Goodall traveled to Switzerland to do the euthanasia banned in Australia. This is reported LIGABusinessInform.
