Euthanasia advocate displays 'Sarco', a pod that fills with nitrogen, which he hopes will one day be available as a 3D-printable device
[...]
Called the "Sarco", short for sarcophagus, the 3D-printed machine invented by Australian euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke and Dutch designer Alexander Bannink comes with a detachable coffin, mounted on a stand that contains a nitrogen canister.
"The person who wants to die presses the button and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die," said Nitschke. The Sarco was a device "to provide people with a death when they wish to die," Nitschke said.

Good point - I was saying I could prefer it for myself.
There are downsides in allowing people to choose to kill themselves: there are various ways people can be coerced to make that decision.
But sometimes, it seems like it can be the best option.

Barney Frank admited that ObamaCare does have "death panels." Obamacare must be fully repealed or healthcare will be destroyed.
