Betty and George Coumbias were a Canadian married couple who sought to become the first husband and wife to complete simultaneous suicides with legal authorization. They were featured in John Zaritsky's 2007 documentary, The Suicide Tourist. Although assisted suicide was illegal in Canada, they hoped to end their lives with the approval of the government of Switzerland. The couple's request was unusual in that, while George Coumbias suffered from heart disease, Betty Coumbias was reported to be in excellent health.

Aunque el suicidio asistido era ilegal en Canadá, esperaban terminar sus vidas con la aprobación del gobierno de Suiza. La solicitud de la pareja era prácticamente insólita ya que, mientras que George Coumbias padece una enfermedad cardíaca, Betty Coumbias tenía un buen estado de salud. (es)

| - Betty and George Coumbias were a Canadian married couple who sought to become the first husband and wife to complete simultaneous suicides with legal authorization. They were featured in John Zaritsky's 2007 documentary, The Suicide Tourist. Although assisted suicide was illegal in Canada, they hoped to end their lives with the approval of the government of Switzerland. The couple's request was unusual in that, while George Coumbias suffered from heart disease, Betty Coumbias was reported to be in excellent health. Ludwig Minelli, director of Swiss assisted-suicide group Dignitas, petitioned the Canton of Zurich to grant doctors the authority to issue lethal drugs to healthy people after being counseled by his organization, hoping to facilitate the Coumbias' suicide pact. In 2009, Betty Coumbias developed cancer and died, while George continued to live with his heart condition. He died in 2016. (en)

La solicitud de la pareja era prácticamente insólita ya que, mientras que George Coumbias padece una enfermedad cardíaca, Betty Coumbias tenía un buen estado de salud. Ludwig Minelli, director del grupo suizo de suicidios asistidos Dignitas, solicitó al gobierno del cantón de Zúrich otorgar a los médicos la autorización para emitir recetas para medicamentos letales a personas sanas, con el consejo de su organización, para facilitar el pacto suicida de la pareja. No lo consiguieron y en 2009, Betty Coumbias desarrolló cáncer y murió mientras que George continuó viviendo con su enfermedad cardíaca hasta su fallecimiento en 2016. (es)
