Doctor behind notorious Sarco euthanasia pod shows off new 'suicide collar' that kills patients by applying 'pressure' to the neck

It's a fresh Monday morning in the quaint city of Amersfoort in the Netherlands, and a group of elderly guests are listening attentively to the words of an Australian physician.

Dr Philip Nitschke, the first doctor in the world to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection, and the inventor of the controversial Sarco pod, is presenting his latest gadget.

The Australian-born founder of Exit International, the non-profit that provides guidance on assisted suicide, stirred controversy in 2024 when a woman ended her life using the so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind.

But undeterred by the negative press and people repeatedly calling him 'Dr Death' - a nickname he doesn't enjoy - Dr Nitschke is as passionate as ever about expanding access to euthanasia.

The 20 attendees are gathered for one of the 78-year-old's 'Exit workshops' that cover, according to his website, legal issues surrounding euthanasia, the physiology of death, and suicide methods such as 'gases', 'drugs and other substances', 'Swiss option (including discussion of the Sarco)', and 'the new Kairos Kollar'.

It's the Kairos Kollar that Dr Nitschke is live demonstrating to his observant guests, but on a plastic mannequin with silver hair, of course.

It works by putting pressure against the carotid arteries and baroreceptors in the neck, cutting off blood flow to the brain and causing the wearer to lose consciousness before dying.

In a post on X, Dr Nitschke could hardly conceal his excitement for the developing technology: 'The Exit Kairos Kollar, an important development in the assisted dying quest…fast, reliable, drug free..and, importantly, unrestrictable!'

He’s probably at least a Brigadier General in Satan’s Army.

John Paul II, now sainted, called us the culture of death.

Y’all stay with me on this: what if there was a device that would quickly and painlessly remove the head, like the wisp of a feather on the neck, thereby providing a merciful death. Think of the possibilities!

That doctor is a serial killer dressed up as a “savior”. It is so sick.

If we used this to execute convicted murderers, the commies would denounce it as cruel and inhumane.

Looks like something out of a BDSM catalog.

Ancient societies used to worship death. Lucifer causes humans to worship death. God is life giving and our mission is to nurture precious life. Judeo-Christian beliefs are pro-life. If you ever meet a Christian proclaiming person accepting of killing of life, that person has been corrupted.
