The inauguration of the death probe!

More and more laws around the world recognize people's freedom to make their own decisions about when to end life.

The most modern and convenient law in this regard is that of Switzerland. Therefore, people from other countries come here to end their lives. Under the current system, there is a need for a drug and a doctor to end life.

@Exit International designed the death coffin with the goal of avoiding both. Get inside, lock the cover and hit a switch. In thirty seconds, the probe fills with nitrogen and the oxygen level in the air drops from 21% to less than 1%.

There are those (myself included) who think that the advancement of technologies will usher in a 'Timeless Time' within this century itself. Then we will have to decide for ourselves whether to live or die. My wish is that there should be a legal system and death machines for those who wish to die earlier to die peacefully, comfortably and painlessly.

This is a retirement project. If there are any law students who are interested in doing a little research on this subject, please get in touch.
