This device or other methods should be made available to anyone over 21 who wishes to go! The choice of life or death should be down to the individual and should be a human right! It would put an end to messy suicides, acts of violence against others and those sometimes hurt caught up in another's suicide. If you want to off yourself then that should be your human right because it is your life and it does not belong to anyone else or any government only you!!!!
Self wacking in a painless manner will become the norm in the future!
Voluntary assisted dying will only be available to Victorians who are over the age of 18 and are capable of making decisions.
They must be suffering from an incurable illness, which causes intolerable suffering, and be expected to live for less than six months.
Mental illness and disability alone are not grounds for access to assisted dying, but people who meet the criteria and also have a mental illness or disability will not be denied access.

Hmm ! The article states that once you have died you are then buried in the machine, it becomes your coffin. WHY ?
What would happen if you were removed from it ?
Also, if you have to be buried in the machine then i assume you have to PAY for it and they look expensive. Only those that can afford assisted suicide can do it then i guess. You can also rule it out if you want to be cremated !
He went on to say that when the person has died, which occurs swiftly, the chamber will then become the coffin of that person. The base of the chamber, on the other hand, can be reused.
Exit International gave a press release, and they said that The Sarco is designed to allow it to be 3D printed. It can then be put together in just about any location. He went on to say that the blueprints are going to be made available freely; open-source and they will be put onto the internet.

Even better, being an expensive machine, imagine the press coverage at the locations where people from all walks of life file in and line up to die.
Even worse, now that its in the public eye, watch how many people do it yourself at home with a garbage sack and nitrogen bottle.
That was one of the first things I thought of too.. why pay for the thing when a bottle of nitrogen is not all that expensive.

please have the decency to actually know what is being discussed before sharing your " opinion "
the type of death under discussion IS totally painless and distress free
the simple medical reason for this =
the human body has no mechanism to monitor oxygen concentrations [ either internally or externally ]
instead it relies on CO2 levels and makes `assumptions
its the rising CO2 level [ both in the breath and blood stream ] that causes distress during normal axphisiation // suffocation
inert gasses do not lead to CO2 build up - so - you simply die - unaware that anything is wrong
additionally - elevated CO2 levels - still cause respiritory distress - even if the O2 level is sufficient for life support
thats because - the body - cannot monitor oxygen levels - it monitors CO2 - and makes assumptions
your experiences were distressing for you - but they were caused by CO2 levels - not the lack of oxugen - the lack of oxygen would have killed you - had your not escaped - but the CO2 levels were what made the experience unpleasant
so - please - education on topic - BEFORE you acuse people of not knowing what they are talking about

Loss of consciousness may be accompanied by convulsions[9] and is followed by cyanosis and cardiac arrest. About 7 minutes of oxygen deprivation causes death of the brainstem.

I would double that route with first applying Anastasia to make sure there is zero suffering. Suffocating, the idea itself is scary.
