“Police in Switzerland made multiple arrests after someone reportedly ended their life using a so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind.”
An interesting case with seemillngly valid points on both sides. I wouldn’t like to be the one responsible for working out the morality of this.
The device is forbidden because it does not follow safety rules, it might harm its users.

Did they expect her not to die, clues in the name guys.
A suicide pod not following safety rules…. Uh…
It was her own choice, we should respect it and I find it a more dignified death than on a hospital bed without proper care. And I am a Roman Catholic.
Errr what.
Assisted suicide is assisted murder. This is murder.
Suicide pod sounds like a perfect device to write about in a whodunit
If you want to die, why not doing something cool like testing experimental medication illegally or something. Okay I don’t know if this is a good idea anymore.
I’m going to be respectful and not add all the Futurama jokes I wanted to.
Honestly I think the right to suicide should be a human right. You are the sole owner and controller of your own body and life, if you wish to end it, you should be allowed to.
Obviously encourage such people to change their mind, assist them with their problems, help them with what is causing them to want to end it, etc. but in the end its their choice.
Damn, I hope they keep fulfilling the kickstarter pledges. I preordered one years ago and I’m still patiently awaiting its arrival. I didn’t realise they started to go out to backers already. Can’t wait to get mine and test it out.
You can’t even die in peace nowadays !
Why are so many people hellbent on preventing individual autonomy? You own your life, it does not belong to anyone else – we’ve decided that slavery is a bad thing a long time ago. I’m free to choose my career, whether I smoke, drink or engage in dangerous extreme sports, have kids or join the military. Some of those decisions (such as having kids) are a one-way street and yet we respect them. Why the double standard when it comes to this decision in particular?
To make matters worse, people argue against one of the most humane ways to go. A way that preserves dignity as opposed to living your last moments feeling horrible in a pool of your own vomit because you took too many of the wrong pills.
Sounds like it’s a bit of a deathtrap.
TEMU has them on sale.
Reminds me of this article I read recently
[https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/british-couple-double-suicide-capsule-clinic-peter-christine-scott-switzerland-b1180750.html](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/british-couple-double-suicide-capsule-clinic-peter-christine-scott-switzerland-b1180750.html)
I found it so unusual how despite the husband not being diagnosed with a condition, he was still able to sign up to be in the suicide pod with his wife. Maybe the program wouldn’t have accepted him, but if they do consider people like him, then who’s to say they aren’t assisting the suicide of perfectly healthy people?
Proof we are slowly going to end up living in Futurama.
