...inventors of evil things...the love of many shall wax cold. Romans 1:30/Mathew 24:12
"A "suicide pod" designed by a longtime euthanasia activist is supposed to kill users within seconds and double as a coffin.
The machine was unveiled Saturday at a yearly funeral show in Amsterdam.
Over the weekend Australian doctor and euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke, who reportedly considers himself the "Elon Musk of assisted suicide", showed off his "Sarco," short for sarcophagus, invention at an Amsterdam funeral show which attracted thousands, reports say.
Nitschke's Sarco suicide machine has a biodegradable, detachable coffin that is mounted on a stand containing a nitrogen canister; he made the machine with Dutch designer Alexander Bannink.
"The person who wants to die presses the button and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die," Nitschke said.
When asked about the legal issues surrounding euthanasia, the Australian euthanasia proponent noted that in many nations suicide is not against the law but helping someone commit the act is. He maintains his contraption is different because it involves one person choosing "to press a button ... rather than for instance standing in front of a train."
