Switzerland bans use of ‘suicide capsules’ – World

Sui authorities have banned the use of Sarco, a ‘suicide capsule’, amid fears that the capsule might lead to ‘death tourism’.

According to the Daily Mail, the Swiss authorities have banned the capsule Sarco at a time when its regular use was due to start in a few weeks.

It should be noted that Dr. Philip Nitschke has designed the suicide casspool sarco, which causes death in two to three seconds without any pain or feeling of suffocation. Dr. Philip has used gases like nitrogen and hypoxia in the capsule.

The ban was imposed following the public prosecutor in a local court raised concerns regarding the lack of reliable information regarding the process’ procedures and controls.

Public prosecutor Peter Stecher warned that anyone using or aiding Sarco might face up to five years in prison. Officials fear the capsule might lead to “death tourism”, attracting people from abroad to end their own lives.

Dr. Nitschke is known as “Dr. Death” and is also a strong advocate of suicide. Dr Nitschke designed the suicide capsule and his design is available online at no charge.

A candidate for the first use of the capsule had been selected, but the entire project was halted due to the ban. On the other hand, commentators and pro-life groups have condemned the tool, arguing that it glamorizes suicide and undermines efforts to prevent it.
