You won't feel anything: an Australian doctor has created a machine for painless euthanasia

A futuristic death machine called Sarco is a device printed on a 3D printer. It consists of a capsule and a canister of liquid nitrogen. After the device is tested, its drawings will be publicly available on the Internet. Thus, the machine can be printed and applied anywhere in the world.

According to the inventors of the "deadly machine", the device will ease the torments of a terminally ill person. The principle of operation is very simple: a person is placed in a capsule, a special code is entered, and then liquid nitrogen begins to flow into the capsule, and the oxygen level decreases. Death occurs in a few minutes. At the request of the "client", he can be buried in this capsule or bequeath it to others.

Nitschke added that in case a person changes his mind at the last moment to die, there is an emergency button in the capsule. If you press it, an emergency window will open, through which oxygen will begin to flow.

The inventor says that euthanasia is considered illegal in most countries of the world, and his machine will be able to help those who want to take their own lives without exposing loved ones to the risk of arrest.
