In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It’s done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

    My grandmother chose to spend the last of her time “at home, with dignity.”

    We (mom and siblings) lived with her, and got to experience the whole thing. I will spare you the details, but it was not dignified.

    I will never put another person through that in my life. Not even hospital staff. If I ever receive a terminal diagnosis, I’m immediately going to begin planning my exit - likely in a similar fashion as above.
