Suicide pods now have a "double dutch" option, where couples can die together in Switzerland. These 3D-printed death pods are designed for two people to climb inside, press a single button at the same time, and pass away within minutes.
Suicide pods were created by Philip Nitschke, often nicknamed "Dr. Death," and were first introduced in 2024 for single-person use. The individual must meet with a psychiatrist for a mental capacity assessment to determine whether he or she is considered "fit" to proceed.
With the push of a button, the chamber fills with nitrogen, causing the person to lose consciousness within seconds, followed shortly by death.
What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber.
Now that same concept has been redesigned to end not one life, but two at once.
