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.

      NO works better, because it doesn’t cause a feeling of asphyxiation.

      helium is expensive af, so it’s not an option. (it’s also basically non-renewable and we’re probably running out of helium in the medium-to-far future…so not a good idea)
