The messy morality of letting AI make life-and-death decisions

A coffin-size pod with Star Trek stylings, the Sarco is the culmination of Nitschke's 25-year campaign to "demedicalize death" through technology. Sealed inside the machine, a person who has chosen to die must answer three questions: Who are you? And do you know what will happen when you press that button? Here's what will happen: The Sarco will fill with nitrogen gas. Its occupant will pass out in less than a minute and die by asphyxiation in around five.
