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.”

Not me. I’m a runner.
Might be an alternative for the death penalty.
It does kind of say, “We depress our citizens so badly suicide has become a government service.”
I might be OK with using it for executions so long as the condemned has to stay inside until they die of dehydration or push the button themselves.
LMAO. You owe me a keyboard!
Don't be silly, 2022 is decades away! (Looks at calendar) OK, I'm panicking.
Not to cause even more panic, but the 21st century most of us thought of as the far future? It's 20% over. Still no flying car.
How nice a portal killing machine that suffocates people to death but it feels kind of good they claim 🤪
Portable
Ghoulish.

A fragrant 100 pd. Soft pillow over the mouth and nostrils is a lot cheaper. What kind of a ghoul spends their time inventing those devices?
BEWARE OF PODS!

Executions within 40 days of being found “Guilty!” That is the way it was done in the past.
I want to buy one. Put it at the democrats convention, charge 20 dollars, call it the destiny pod.
You know it's cool because it's 3d-printed and streamlined.
The religion of Death Worship strikes again.

Blood Red. Nice touch.
Is it like car trunks or refrigerators that have been designed to allow egress, or no?
It’s all fun and games until somebody decides that he doesn’t want to die.
We could use that capital punishment here in Texas as it pretty much eliminates the sickening claim that mass killers shouldn’t ‘suffer’ when executed, and it also ends the backdoor moves by the Left to constrain the supply of drugs used to purge these people from society.
Can I buy some gift certificates for some folks I know?
