This reminds me of Futurama's coin operated self-termination booths. Maybe that'll be a profitable way to repurpose phone booths made obsolete by cell phones.

That said, if you want to leave this world, then why not go out in style? I'd want to skydive into Mount Erebus's lava lake without a parachute. It would be great for social media and you would have plenty of time to rethink your decision on the way there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Erebus?wprov=sfla1

Author is kinda TERF philosopher, no less.

Only a philosopher can say that open-source pod created by the donation-based organization in a very controversial and heavily regulated area is next big business.

And to think they palliative care is the solution is a joke. In many many countries, access to pain relief is extremely limited. In some countries, palliative care is almost non existent.

Maybe in the rich UK with it's free big healthcare system, this can work. In most poorer and stricter European countries, you will suffer for many months.

Limited staff and places to care for dying, limited opiates, and no help with treatment resistant depression or bipolar. Especially with latest meta reviews showing anti-deptessants are likely no better then placebo in relation to real clinical effect.

Yeah, god forbid we re-evaluate how we treat people near the end of their life and maybe let them go out with some dignity. Obviously this is just a ploy by Big Suicide to make money.
