‘Dr Death’ launches futuristic euthanasia pod
The euthanasia advocate claims pod can be 3D-printed for just a few thousand euros
Euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke is unveiling his high-tech ‘death pod’ designed to help people die in countries that lack euthanasia laws.
The so-called ‘Dr Death’ says the Sarco — short for sarcophagus — reinvents the experience of elected deaths and doesn’t require the involvement of doctors to use.
His prototype was officially unveiled to the world at the Venice Design exhibition this week.
Dr Nitschke says it cost hundreds of thousands of euros to design but can be made using 3D printers, which he says will allow people to use it in countries where euthanasia is not legal.
