A 64-year-old woman committed suicide in a specially designed ‘suicide capsule’ containing nitrogen gas. The Sarco promises a ‘quick, peaceful and reliable death’.

In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It’s done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

      The woman confirms that it was her own wish to die. She says that she has had a desire to die for ‘at least two years’, ever since she was diagnosed with a very serious illness that causes severe pain.

      I think most people can understand her desire to no longer be in constant pain.
