Advocacy groups behind a so-called suicide capsule said Sunday they have suspended the process of taking applications to use it — which numbered over 370 last month — as a criminal investigation into its first use in Switzerland is completed.
The president of Switzerland-based The Last Resort, Florian Willet, is being held in pretrial detention, said the group and Exit International, an affiliate founded in Australia over a quarter century ago.
Swiss police arrested Willet and several other people following the death of an unidentified 64-year-old woman from the U.S. Midwest who on Sept. 23 became the first person to use the device, known as the “Sarco,” in a forest in the northern Schaffhausen region near the German border.
They just want to make sure it’s safe to die in.
Death is totally safe. Nothing can happen to you when you’re dead. Life is where stuff can be bad.
I used to not be alive, but someone went and fucked that up for me. Next time it’ll be too specific for me to come back.
It’s clearly against their law is probably part of the issue. The company gets a financial gain, which is obviously a benefit from the users death.
