There is a new invention that has been getting a lot of attention lately - the 'Tesla of Euthanasia'. Its creator, Dr. Philip Nitschke, is eager to bring it to the Lake District, if a new law is passed to allow assisted dying. This Friday, MPs will be debating the bill, and if it goes through, Dr. Nitschke will start planning on how to import his Sarco death pods.
In case you're not familiar with them, these pods are large enough for one person to lie down in, and with just a press of a button, can be filled with a lethal amount of nitrogen gas. They even have a window, so the user can take in their favorite view during their final moments. However, there has been some controversy surrounding the pods, as the only person who has used one so far was found with strangulation marks. This led to an employee being arrested in Switzerland in September.
Despite this, Dr. Nitschke remains determined to expand his project, and has revealed that many Brits are closely following his work. He is particularly interested in bringing his pods to Britain, and has suggested that the Lake District would be the perfect location for it.
According to Dr. Nitschke, the Sarco pods provide an elegant and stylish option for those who don't want to die through traditional means, such as injections or drinks. He believes that having the choice to pick the day and time of one's own death is crucial, as it is the most important day of their life. The Sarco pods have cost one million dollars to develop and build, and users are expected to fall unconscious and pass away within a few minutes of the gas being injected into the sealed chamber.
The woman who died in September has not been identified, but Dr. Nitschke shared that she had a compromised immune system and was prone to chronic infections. He also dismissed any claims of strangulation, stating that there is video evidence showing that the capsule was not opened. The case is currently under investigation by the prosecutor for the northern Schaffhausen region in Switzerland.
Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland as long as there is no external assistance, and the person helping does not have any self-serving motives. In the UK, MPs will be voting on whether or not to legalize assisted dying on November 29, for the first time in nine years. The Prime Minister has allowed a free vote on the issue, and his cabinet is divided on the matter. While some members, such as the Health Secretary and Justice Secretary, are against it, others, like the Energy Secretary and Culture Secretary, are in favor of it.
