‘Suicide Pod’ Inventor Creating AI-Powered Device for Couples to Die Together

by

The inventor of a suicide gas chamber capsule, called a “Sarco pod,” is creating a new version designed for couples who want to die together.

News of the tandem death device comes a year after the 3D-printed Sarco pod, which allows a user to trigger a nitrogen release, was used for the first time, the New York Post reported Tuesday. The pod gained national attention after a 64-year-old American woman used it in Switzerland, sparking a police investigation. Authorities later ruled out intentional homicide.

Philip Nitschke, the Australian-born physician who invented Sarco, said development of a pod for couples is underway and will use an AI-enabled model, according to the report.

“I’m not suggesting everyone’s going to race forward and say: ‘Boy, I really want to climb into one of those things,’” Nitschke told the DailyMail. “But some people do.”
