British couple Peter and Christine Scott set for assisted death in Switzerland using Sarco pod.

A British couple, Peter and Christine Scott, are scheduled to have their lives ended together using an assisted suic*de euthanasia system, the Sarco pod, in Switzerland. This marks a first for UK citizens choosing this advanced technology for assisted dying.

Peter explained that he and Christine, aged 80, made this decision after 46 years of marriage, following her diagnosis of vascular dementia. The Sarco pod, often referred to as "the Tesla of euthanasia," uses liquid nitrogen to induce death by gas asphyxiation.

Their final moments will be filmed and provided to a coroner as evidence, setting a historic precedent in the field of assisted dying.

Switzerland has already used the Pod to euthanize an American woman in September 2024 which led to several arrested after prosecutors in Schaffhausen have opened criminal proceedings against several people for “inducing and aiding and abetting suicide,”

This is Sarco, a 3D-printed suicide pod that uses nitrogen hypoxia to end the life of the person inside in under 30 seconds after pressing the button inside.
