This does not belong here and this is not terrifying. I call this humane and a human right. Terrifying would be showing someone terminally ill being forced to live out his remaining time in pain

I have a degenerative neuromuscular disease. I have looked into the Sarco pod as well as places like Dignitas. I don't want to be trapped in a bed on a feeding tube, choking on my own saliva. If I live to that stage, it should be my choice. This picture isn't creepy, it's dignity.

This pod has not been used yet, even in countries where euthanasia is legal. There are still controversies about how painless it would really be and whether people would actually want to pass away in a capsule, separated from their loved ones.

We put dogs and cats out of their misery...

Idiots "think" legalized euthanasia is about "killing granny for the inheritance", as if people are being forced into it. People who apply are screened and scrutinized to prevent it. Nearly all who choose it do so because they know their lives will never get better, only gradually worse, and choose not to suffer.

For those against this type of Suicide: My Grandpa was a tough a*s WWII Veteran, that NEVER smoked a day in his life. He still managed to have COPD, Emphysema and battled Lung Cancer, because when he came home from the war he had a job in Construction that used Asbestos and Lead Paint. He committed suicide by using a shotgun in 1995, because he couldn't stand to live being so sick that he couldn't leave his and Grandma's house. FYI committing suicide via shotgun is probably one of the most f****d up ways to die. I've lost a total of 5 family members to suicide via gun and they were all Veterans of WWII, Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan wars.

So much better to let people suffer for months or even years, right? We put down animals in pain, but not humans. Where the hell are our priorities?

My sister did this to herself with a helium tank, a hose, and a plastic bag. Research says it was peaceful. RIP Carrie.

The incurably ill and elderly should have the right to decide for themselves when they are ready to leave. There is no reason that anyone should have to remain suffering physically, mentally, and economically because they are not given a chance to peacefully end their life.

Anyone who opposes assisted suicide is profoundly selfish & has no capacity for empathy.

Honestly, I don't even think this should be limited to those with incurable terminal illnesses. It's YOUR life. You should absolutely be in control of when it ends, period. Either you have the right to bodily autonomy or you don't. There's no in-between.

At least put them to sleep first.

"At least..." Better think it through, or at least some clinically depressed people will fight you as hard as they can. Already people in Canada and the Netherlands are being given a "choice" between too MUCH assistance for suicide and too LITTLE assistance for PAIN CONTROL!!!

Having the choice to choose your time when you have a terminal illness should be a legal right for every human. It doesn't stop that person choosing to fight their illness, but many would rather choose to go before they are no longer themselves. Watching many members of my family pass from cancer I've seen both types and the end is the same for both - its ugly, it's painful, it's degrading and it torture for people to keep them alive against their will.

Cannot find a source for this. Don't think it ever made it into existence

I consider Alzheimer's a terminal illness, having gone through watching 5 family members go through it & dealing with a different form of dementia with my husband. Refusing the right to die is evil.

terminal ill people no more suffering

You're basically suffocating yourself! As someone with lung issues I can tell you the feeling of not being able to breathe is not pleasant! That's not the way you want to go.

Why is it anyone else’s business if someone wants to end their own life as long as they are not taking anyone else’s life with their actions. Why should anyone be forced to live?
