In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It's done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

Hmm yeah, if i happened to have a debilitating disease that require someone else constant care and i can't be independent anymore, i'd also like to end it as well, as sad as it sound. Cool that Switzerland have option for that.

Do i need to specify every time when i said independent i mean without the need of people helping hand to do basic thing just so i don't get harassed in a borderline offensive way? It's akin of getting contacted by reddit mental health care bot.
