A coffin-like capsule that allows people to end their life could be used in Switzerland from next year, its creators say.
The Sarco suicide pod allows a user to lie down and activate the process themselves within a matter of minutes.
Individuals are asked a series of questions before they can press a button, which brings oxygen down to a critical level.
Nitrogen fills the 3D-printed device, quickly bringing oxygen down from 21 percent to only 1 percent in about 30 seconds.
A “disorientated” and “euphoric” feeling then follows, before they eventually lose consciousness.
Death takes place due to hypoxia (low oxygen in the body’s tissues) and hypocapnia (reduced carbon dioxide in the blood), followed by critical oxygen and carbon dioxide deprivation.
Dr. Philip Nitschke, whose Exit International organization came up with the capsule, told local media there is “no panic, no choking feeling”.
“The machine can be towed anywhere for the death,” he said.
“It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted suicide organization, for example.”

Yer in a pod killing yourself in an idyllic setting? LOL!!
“It gives me chills.”
*****
Yeah, and it’s not heading in the right direction.
We are not far from them making the decisions as to who should go and when, for the “common good.”
Did anyone catch the term “hypocapnia”? Some environmental idiots are starting to claim that CO2 is a poison. But this machine kills by reducing the CO2 and O2 in your bloodstream!
CO2 in the air is actually a potential asphyxiant. It can displace needed oxygen to the point where you do not inhale enough oxygen, but it is not inherently a poison.
Right? If it’s so idyllic, why would you want to off yourself? Take it to Detroit or Chicago.
After my dad watched my sister die slowly of throat cancer, he said people should be able to off themselves if they’re 100% terminal and dying a slow miserable death.
it displaces O2
Its just bizarre.
killing yourself in an idyllic setting?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interesting about that idyllic setting .... quite a few people go to National Parks to commit suicide ... scenic overlooks are “popular”. I spent a lot of time on a certain stretch of parkway ... there were 2 overlooks where suicides happened fairly regularly. Beautiful view ... nature ... great place to off yourself.
“So, states need to adopt this for executions and watch Lib heads explode.”
Good idea , probably a lot cheaper than any other device/drugs they use
I see a future for it for death sentences.
I’d say we’re pretty much at Idiocracy now.
Nature is a bitch. :)
That is exactly what I said! It is not a poison.
The Medical board sez it’s ok. That’s nice. There doesn’t seem to be any atrocity that the Medical Board isn’t just fine with.
George Soros, Cankles, the Wookie...
Why not get creative and just shoot people out of a cannon.
Well we know Jeb Bush would approve.
Did I.G. Farben build it?
