MODERATORS
Apparently the pod has a voice in it: "The person climbs into the purple capsule, closes the lid, and is asked automated questions such as who they are, where they are and if they know what happens when they press the button.
"'If you want to die', the voice says in the processor, 'Press this button'," said Sarco inventor Philip Nitschke, a leading global figure in right-to-die activism."
But where do you put in the quarter?
the design is intended to resemble that of a spaceship, in order to give users the feel that they are traveling to the "great beyond".
They issue these to the homeless in Canada.
No they don't
Why the downvotes? Like one year ago a guy who was struggling [in Canada] was offered assisted suicide.
