SUICIDE PODS TO BE LAUNCHED IN THE UK IF BILL PASSES

You may have read in The Telegraph that the inventor of the Sarco gas chamber assisted suicide pod, the founder of assisted suicide lobby group ‘Exit International’, Dr Philip Nitschke (who the media nickname “Dr Death”) has announced that he plans to launch an assisted suicide service using the Sarco pods in the UK if the Bill becomes law.

A person can end their own life inside the 3D-printed Sarco pod by pushing a button, which injects nitrogen gas into the sealed gas chamber. The nitrogen causes them to suffocate to death. Dr Philip Nitschke has said that the machine can be “towed anywhere for the death”.

Professor of law and constitutional government at St John’s College, Oxford, Richard Ekins KC said, “If Kim Leadbeater’s Bill passes, and if the Secretary of State approves liquid nitrogen as an approved substance, then the Sarco death pod would be a lawful means to assist suicide in Britain”.

TAKE ACTION

We need to make it clear right now to our MPs that it is a real possibility that these horrifying Sarco gas chamber suicide pods could be launched here if assisted suicide is legalised. We must reiterate that they must oppose this Bill.

With just over 2 days to go, it is a make-or-break moment. Even if you have emailed your MP earlier on the assisted suicide Bill, it’s very important that you contact them with this new information. 

We have just launched an easy-to-use tool that makes it simple to email your local MP on this. The tool includes new content that we need to get in front of your MP urgently today.

Please take action and click the button below to contact your MP now. It only takes 30 seconds.

Thank you for your help in these remaining hours before the vote.

When you have emailed your MP, you will be asked to share this tool with a friend. We need you to get at least one more person to email their MP. Every share is crucial to help us fight this Bill.
