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.

Ya CO2 is basically the feeling of normal suffocation. Might as well hold a plastic bag over their head.

Which isn't too bad if you can stay calm and relax tbh. Slow deep breaths let you feel like you're doing something to continue your survival without the panic of frantic breathing. Takes a bit of practice but honestly not as bad as it seems.

Faster if it's pumped in, but yeah, still terrible.
