Inventor of assisted suicide pod threatens to bring device to UK
The inventor of the suicide pod known as “Sarco” has said he will bring it to the United Kingdom (UK) if Parliament votes to legalize assisted suicide.
In an interview with The Telegraph this week, Dr. Philip Nitschke announced his intentions to expand his lethal business.
“We have a lot of members there, and a lot of UK people following the Sarco project very closely. There would be a lot of scope. I would be very keen to do that,” he said. “It seems to me that it will just provide an additional option for those who don’t want the needle and who don’t want the drink… who do like what I describe as the stylish and elegant means that is provided by this device in some idyllic location.”
He even oh-so-helpfully suggested good places where people can commit suicide using Sarco.
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

“For people who have got that choice of picking the day and the time… it is the most important day of your life, presumably, the day you die,” he said, giving the Lake District as a location idea. “If you want to be overlooking the lakes or the mountains or looking [at] whatever, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be accommodated. Certainly, Sarco can do that.”
Sarco, short for “sarcophagus,” was announced by Nitschke in 2018. He originally said the idea was to put the plans online for anyone to use and for anyone to be able to create it themselves using a 3D printer. The device works by flooding the compartment with nitrogen, causing nitrogen hypoxia. The manner of death is asphyxiation, meaning the person suffocates to death.
The device was recently used for the first time in Switzerland, where assisted suicide is legal. Police became involved, and arrested Florian Willet, co-president of The Last Resort. The woman who was killed in the device was found to have neck injuries that were compared to strangulation marks, and it appeared that it took the woman 30 minutes to die.
