Phillip Nitschke — who’s now
Phillip Nitschke — who’s now known affectionately as “Dr. Death.” by his peers — Sarco is a 3D-printed euthanasia tool that look suspiciously like a wingless version of this human-carrying drone we spotted at CES the last two years. The Contraption
puts the power into the hands of those that enter it, allowing each person that sits inside the freedom to choose to die.
Sarco accomplishes this by filling the interior with liquid nitrogen. Sixty seconds later you begin to feel disoriented — like you’ve had a few too many drinks, Nitschke says. After a few minutes, you lose consciousness. Within five minutes, you’re gone.
Those insides can stop the process at any time should they change their mind. It’s also up to them whether they want to black out their view of the world while inside or look through Sarco’s windows at outside scenery as they fade. It's creator, for example,
imagines a day he’ll die watching a sunset in the Australian outback.
Nitschke, for what it’s worth, doesn’t take joy in facilitating suicide. Instead, he tells Vice in a recent profile, Sarco’s
creation is about recognizing suicide is a choice and one that should be available to anyone of sound mind.
Sarco is available to depress and mentally ill individuals so long as they pass an assessment ensuring they are aware of their
actions and the permanent nature of the decision.
Sarco though isn’t meant to be a one-stop death shop. Instead, Nitschke hopes it provides a peaceful option to those with terminal
diagnoses, chronic and debilitating pain, or anyone seeking a peaceful end in old age.
