"Suicide Machine" That Lets You Experience Death Is Now Available For The Public To Try

Death could be as easy, quick, and painless as simply pressing a button. At least, that’s what the creator of the world’s first 3D-printed "suicide machine" intends for the future.

Open to the public for the first time, Dr Philip Nitschke (nicknamed Dr Death) announced plans to debut his latest suicide-assisting machine "Sarco" (short for sarcophagus) at Amsterdam’s Funeral Fair later this month. You can try it out for yourself – at least, in virtual reality – by stepping inside a full-size depiction of the euthanasia capsule. VR glasses give the user a glimpse into how the death machine operates.
