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.”

I am sure you are right. It’s sick as heck, but I believe you are right.

Nature is a bitch.

After several non-suicidal close calls during the years I spent traipsing in the mountains, you don’t take Nature for granted & you don’t turn your back on it either.
“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.”

If nature settings made them feel so peaceful, you’d think maybe a less final solution could have been found in that.
Carousel up to the bug zapper is more dramatic.
No sir.
Suicide Pod...
Is that anything like a Biden Cabinet?
LOL

Evidently not, for some people. Two overlooks on that stretch of road are like suicide magnets.
or a plastic bag over your head , Oh wait plastic bags are banned , LOL
Not to cause panic, but Soylent Green was set in 2022.
That thing looks like an electric vehicle.
Wait...don’t they want us all in EVs by 2030?
That’s good.
If it’s soundproofed, don’t go in!
Soylent Green
Its voluntary, for now ...
And "his" name would be Heinrich.
