OH GOODY, THE FUTURE IS HERE TODAY... REVOLUTIONIZING THE DYING PROCESS!
Nitrogen Execution Method Touted as More ‘Humane,’ but Evidence Is Lacking.
WHAT IS A PORTABLE SUICIDE POD?
Portable suicide pod Sarco is a futuristic capsule that can be used for assisted euthanasia without medical supervision. A patient can kill himself in this capsule by pressing a button. A blink, gesture, or voice control can also activate the suicide pod.
The company is developing an artificial intelligence screening system to determine the person’s mental capacity. acknowledging the natural skepticism, especially from psychiatrists, nitschke notes the original concept, which involves an online test and an access code for the sarco.
HOW DOES A SUICIDE POD WORK?
The futuristic-looking 3D printed biodegradable capsule/coffin fills its chamber with nitrogen. It reduces the oxygen levels rapidly so that the patient becomes unconscious in the first few minutes and dies within ten minutes.
Nitrogen hypoxia is a method of suffocating a person by forcing them to breathe pure nitrogen, starving them of oxygen until they die. Despite its scientific-sounding name, “nitrogen hypoxia” is not a real medical term, says Joel Zivot, an associate professor of anesthesiology at Emory University, who co-authored the human rights complaint.
“There is nitrogen gas—that’s a real thing. There’s hypoxia—that means low oxygen,” Zivot says. “But ‘nitrogen hypoxia’ is a made-up two-word expression meant to sound like you’re on the bridge of the starship Enterprise,” he says, referring to the spaceship of Star Trek fame. Instead Zivot recommends calling the procedure “nitrogen gas execution.”
2024 AP NEWS: First nitrogen execution was a ‘botched’ human experiment, Alabama lawsuit alleges.
I witnessed Alabama execute a man using nitrogen gas. It was horrific and cruel. Jeff Hood.
“The results of the first human experiment are now in and they demonstrate that nitrogen gas asphyxiation is neither quick nor painless, but agonizing and painful,” attorney Bernard E. Harcourt wrote in the lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of death row inmate David Phillip Wilson, who was sentenced to death after he was convicted of killing a man during a 2004 burglary.
