    With the [suicide booth/pod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8i5\_oeu4z8&rco=1), I mean...apparently it's [now a thing](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8144v9pveo). As the kids say today, what a time to be...alive? (ironically). I don't know what to make of it. The article doesn't get into how it works. But it does mention it can be 3D-printed and assembled at home. How convenient.

      So the only problem is someone didn't profit from the suicide. Got it. /s

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          It rapidly replaces the air with pure nitrogen, apparently it is supposed to be quick and painless.

            "Police in Switzerland made multiple arrests after a woman reportedly ended her life using a so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind." Had to laugh at the double meaning of "in apparently the first case of its kind." :laugh:

              I remember reading a few years ago that some states were struggling to find, let's call them, "alternative methods" to use on death row inmates, as there have been instances where their current methods have proven to be ineffective and found to be "inhumane" as they can sometimes just prolong a painful death. These guys might have found their niche...?
