Will the Swiss authorities ban or limit suicide tourism?

Background: Suicide tourism is an ugly concept. The Swiss are getting squeamish at their reputation as the suicide tourim's must go to destination.

Will there be legislation enacted by Swiss authorities to stop or limit the ability of tourist to turn up at Dignitas and within a few hours be dead?

The time limit is the end of March 2010. If nothing by then the market will settle as no.
