The inventor hopes eventually to replace human psychiatrists with artificial intelligence to review applicants' soundness of mind.

(LifeSiteNews) — Medical authorities in Switzerland have authorized a disturbing new method of assisted suicide that employs personal “suicide pods” to further reduce oversight of the decision to end one’s life.

Unveiled years ago, Sarco Suicide Pod is a portable, 3D-printed, one-man capsule which can be flooded with nitrogen from inside, after the user answers one survey to be told the pod’s location, then another set of questions to confirm his or her intent to die.

“We want to remove any kind of psychiatric review from the process and allow the individual to control the method themselves,” says pod inventor Philip Nitschke of the group Exit International. “Our aim is to develop an artificial-intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity. Naturally, there is a lot of skepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists.”

“The machine can be towed anywhere for the death,” he continued. “It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted-suicide organization, for example … It’s very comfortable … There is no panic, no choking.”

Will they put these in prisons?

If they do not put them in prisons, will that be considered a violation of human rights?

Something like this?

Looks expensive, I guess no one can afford to euthanize themselves.

Kinda looks like Edward G Robinson’s suicide scene in “Soylent Green”.

Where is the bushi’s Kashakuni? It’s painful to die with seppuku without sometimes to assist.

[uzumaki_naruto]

I mean “without someone to assist”.

“Ladies and Gentlemen! In order to take you all to your next destination, The Camps of Work And Freedom For The Unvaccinated, we have two options. On the right, we have boxcars. They can get a little crowded, but you can travel with your friends if you like. On the Left, we have individual transportation — these wonderful little pod vehicles that will take you to the same place in style and comfort. Please choose quickly.”

Seeing two friends go through end of life cancer, I have to wonder if this could be considered medicine to spare the last horrible month.

I get the slippery slope part but dang it is hard to watch friends go through that.

My questions on this are:

-So after the death who is told to come collect the body and the pod?
-Is the pod to be reused?
-The one who collects the pod opens the door and all the nitrogen pours out?
-Isn’t a pod full of nitrogen explosive?

Can you get the Crock Pot version to make your own Soylent Green after you're gone? No need to waste time waiting to be picked up and hauled off the the factory.
