(Daily Mail) – A ‘death capsule’ designed to carry out assisted suicides is due to be used for the first time this month, Swiss media reports.
The Sarco, short for sarcophagus, would enable the euthanasia patient inside it to press a button and die ‘within seconds’, according to the company behind it, Exit Switzerland.
The case – which looks like something out of a sci-fi film and has been likened to a Tesla car – fills with nitrogen to starve the occupant of oxygen, rendering the patient unconscious before they die. CONTINUE
