A high-tech \u2018suicide machine\u2019 is being touted by a euthanasia advocacy group.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called the Sarco capsule, and it has a single, simple purpose: to help you commit suicide, painlessly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarco does not use any restricted drugs, or require any special expertise such as the insertion of an intravenous needle,\u201d says Dr. Philip Nitschke, the controversial founder\/director of Exit International, whose mission is \u201cto inform members & support them in their end of life decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

EUTHANASIA RISING IN BELGIUM, INCLUDING MORE WHO ARE NOT TERMINALLY ILL<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who can pass the entry test can enter the machine and legally end their life,\u201d said Nitschke, a former physician who assisted in four suicides in Australia in the late 1990s under the short-lived Rights of the Terminally Ill Act of 1995.<\/p>\n

As reported in Christian Headlines, the Sarco comes in two parts: a reusable machine base and a capsule that can be detached and used as a coffin. Both can be created on a 3D printer and assembled anywhere, according to LifeNews.com. Its design will be free and open-source and placed in the Internet, its makers say.<\/p>\n

Using the Sarco is easy. A potential user must complete an online mental questionnaire in order to obtain a four-digit code that will open the capsule. Once inside, the user closes the lid and waits for liquid nitrogen to lower the oxygen level.<\/p>\n

In just a few minutes, it\u2019s all over. The capsule can be removed for use as a coffin, and a new one can be created on a 3D printer, according to Exit International. This can then be placed on top of the reusable base.<\/p>\n
