An euthanasia device is a tool or contraption designed to assist in administering euthanasia, which is the act of intentionally ending a person's life to relieve them of suffering, often in cases of terminal illness or severe pain. Such devices are intended to provide a humane and painless method for individuals who have chosen to end their life, usually in jurisdictions where euthanasia or assisted suicide is legally permitted.
The Euthanasia Coaster is a conceptual design for a roller coaster proposed by artist Julijonas Urbonas in 2010. It is intended to provide a method for voluntary euthanasia through a highly engineered amusement park ride. The coaster is designed to induce rapid loss of consciousness and ultimately death through a combination of high-speed descent and prolonged gravitational force.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "Sarco pod" refers to a type of euthanasia device that has been proposed by Philip Nitschke, an advocate for voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The Sarco pod is designed to provide an option for individuals seeking assisted dying in a legally permissible and humane way. The device is a capsule that can be activated to induce death through the use of nitrogen gas, leading to a state of hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).
A "suicide bag," also known as a "rebreather bag," is a type of bag designed to facilitate suicide by providing an airtight environment, typically filled with helium or other inert gases. Users may inhale the gas, which can lead to loss of consciousness and death through asphyxiation without the sensation of asphyxia. The term is associated with discussions about methods of suicide and mental health crises.
