A Doctor has come up with a 'Euthanasia pod' that could be the answer to the world's overpopulation scientists say.
Philip Nitschke, a former Doctor and founder of a group called 'Exit International', created the suicide capsule machine, which, he claims, creates a ‘peaceful, reliable, drug-free’ method of death, and one that could be used in the complete control of even those who have very severe illnesses such as locked-in syndrome.
The pod is the result of a 3D printing process with its inventor releasing the designs to the general public who he encourages to download for free so they can make their very own death pod.
The pod, which is called Sarco Pod, was first exhibited in 2021 but has recently gained renewed interest following the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama USA, using the same poisons.
The pod would give someone who wishes to die legally an alternative to existing legal assisted dying methods, in which patients would have to have a doctor administer liquid sodium pentobarbital. The solution, according to its maker, would make them fall asleep after a few minutes, then into a coma and then eventually die.
"The idea of using a gas, in this case an inert gas came up, because if you can find a suitably elegant and attractive container, climb in, and then flood that container with an inert gas like nitrogen so that the level of oxygen rapidly drops, you rapidly go into a state of cerebral hypoxia, which is pretty quick, and you’ll faint very quickly and die within a few minutes." he told reporters.
"The person will feel a little disoriented and may feel slightly euphoric before they lose consciousness. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds. "Death takes place through hypoxia and hypocapnia, oxygen and carbon dioxide deprivation, respectively. There is no panic, no choking feeling."
At the time of launch the pod was universally condemned with its inventor being banned from practicing medicine in a number of countries. However, renewed interest in the pods is being shown following the successful execution of Kenneth Smith using the same nitrogen gas technique.
The pods are cheap to make, can be operated entirely by the user, have a tiny 'carbon footprint' and are considered ultra-hygienic, appealing to environmentalists as a safe and eco friendly way for those who wish to take their own life.
"Everyone should have the option" says Nitschke who now heads-up Switzerland's Exit International Euthanasia clinic, adding "it's a painless death for those who want to take their own life."
The World Economic Forum are reportedly taking a closer look at the technology, seeing it as one possible solution to what they believe is an imminent 'population crisis'. WEF member Paul R. Ehrlich is reportedly considering the pods for future use and is designing a 'triage' protocol for their use similar to the one he created in his book 'The Population Bomb'
Ehrlich wrote:
“Humans were like parasites on the environment; humanity risked extinction by destroying its host.”
"What needs to be done?" he wrote, "We must rapidly bring the world population under control, reducing the growth rate to zero or making it negative. Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved."
"Population explosions on space ships would be disastrous. Thus we would have to export our responsible people, leaving the irresponsible at home on Earth to breed. The day may come when the obese people of the world must give up diets, since metabolizing their fat deposits will lead to DDT poisoning."
Ehrlich put forward a number of 'solutions' to what he saw as a crisis including:
'Temporary sterilants' to the water supply or staple foods.
'Family Tax' in which each additional child over one would add to a family's tax burden at increasing rates for more children, as well as luxury taxes on childcare goods.
Incentives for men to be permanent sterilised before they have two children.
Abortion of Female children via a prenatal sex discernment scheme.
and a powerful Department of Population and Environment which "should be set up with the power to take whatever steps are necessary to establish a reasonable population size in the United States and to put an end to the steady deterioration of our environment."
Ehrlich proposed all type of other Eugenic schemes as well as simply cutting off the food supply of entire countries and leaving them to die if they were too far gone to save. To say he was unhinged is an understatement. But despite this Ehrlich ideas of a mass population cull is still promoted by the World Economic Forum. Bill Gates has repeated these ideas, and population control remains the ultimate goal of the WEF.
Now Ehrlich and others are reportedly examining the Death Pods and are said to be about to fund their mass manufacture and distribution. Just in time for the ratification of the World Health Organisation's Pandemic Treaty in May 2024.
