The Doctor Behind the 'Suicide Pod' Wants AI to Assist at the End of Life
The world's first assisted suicide pod wraps around the human body like a space capsule, tilting gently towards the sky. The device is designed to look as if the person inside is embarking on a journey, says its inventor, the Australian right-to-die activist Philip Nitschke. "It gives you the idea you're saying goodbye to the world." Last month, the 3D-printed pod was used for the first time. In a forest on the Swiss-German border, an unnamed 64-year-old American woman pressed the pod's button to release deadly nitrogen gas.
