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.
You’re allowed to kill yourself in Switzerland, but this capsule uses nitrogen which violates chemical laws.
There are drugs that you’re allowed to use.
The laws are clearly outdated. Drugs for lethal injection frequently fail and cause much more pain and distress. Nitrogen has *no downsides." It’s like the fact that it’s a gas makes people crazy.
I’m being downvoted and argued with for explaining the situation I have no control over
lemmy, the place where opinion is more important than facts
I’m not arguing with your statements, I’m arguing against the content therein. Also, it’s not a productive comment to tell people discussing the ethical benefits of a reform to human euthanasia by saying the obvious, which is that it isn’t yet legal.
And for the record, I didn’t downvote you. That information is public. The flag of Israel probably isn’t helping in that regard on Lemmy.
