‘Immune-compromised’ woman, 64, uses ‘suicide pod’ dubbed ‘the Tesla of euthanasia’ to end her life — several arrested

A 64-year-old US woman this week became the first person to use a “suicide pod” to end her life — and several people have been detained in Switzerland over the death.

The woman, a Midwesterner who was not named publicly, died Monday afternoon in the portable, 3D-printed chamber called a Sarco, short for “sarcophagus” — and dubbed the “Tesla of euthanasia” — near the Swiss-German border, according to the assisted-suicide group Exit International.

The woman suffered from “severe immune compromise,” the group said.

Switzerland is one of the few countries where foreigners can travel to legally end their lives through assisted suicide, which must not involve a doctor but can include outside help.

But Swiss officials said the controversial pod — which floods its chamber with nitrogen, causing the user’s oxygen levels to plummet to deadly levels — has not yet been approved for use.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
