It is also, in an increasing number of locations around the globe, legalized murder.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of the debate about whether or not it should be legal for your doctor to kill you, including murdering you without your knowledge or permission, we have the do-it-yourself death pushers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Philip Nitschke of Australia is now marketing what amounts to a suicide package which consists of a killing machine that converts to a coffin. Just in case there are family members or friends who feel like killing themselves, too, the main device is re-usable.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nitschke is working for the devil with his euthanasia promoting actions. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bioedge.org\/bioethics\/nitschke-designs-new-euthanasia-machine-with-detachable-coffin\/12521\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BioEdge<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Australia\u2019s best-known euthanasia activist, Dr Philip Nitschke, is back in the news with another machine for committing suicide, <a href=\"https:\/\/exitinternational.net\/docs\/SarcoIxx.pdf\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the Sarco capsule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The machine will allow anyone who has the access key to end their life by simply pressing a button. Developed in the Netherlands by Nitschke and an engineer, the machine can be 3D printed and assembled in any location. Access to the Sarco capsule will be by an on-line mental questionnaire which will provide a four-digit access code.<\/p>\n<p>When the person lies in the capsule, he can activate it and liquid nitrogen will rapidly drop the oxygen level, leading to death a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The novel feature is that the capsule can be detached from the Sarco machine and used as a sleek and shiny coffin. The machine base can be re-used.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Euthanasia is medical murder.
