For those who have not.

The Sarco pod (also known as Pegasos, and sometimes referred to as a "suicide pod"[1]) is a euthanasia device or machine consisting of a 3D-printed detachable capsule mounted on a stand that contains a canister of liquid nitrogen to die by suicide through inert gas asphyxiation. "Sarco" is short for "sarcophagus".[2][3] It is used in conjunction with an inert gas (nitrogen) which decreases oxygen levels rapidly which prevents panic, sense of suffocation and struggling before unconsciousness, known as the hypercapnic alarm response[4]: 45 caused by the presence of high carbon dioxide concentrations in the blood.[4] The Sarco was invented by euthanasia campaigner Philip Nitschke in 2017. Nitschke said in 2021 that he sought and received legal advice about the device's legality in Switzerland.[5]

Pegasos has nothing to do with Sarco. The Last Resort was created to implement it. Used once, confiscated by the police, and will be a museum piece when the police release it. It's unclear if/when another Sarco will be available again, unless someone wants to make their own but the plans have still not been released. Even so, manufacturing costs at least $15,000, not including the 3D printer.

Yes but I don't think we'll see it on Amazon/ Ebay/ Etsy- 3D print your own anytime soon.

Maybe they'll use it in the clinics one day but I'm sure access to it will be highly regulated and restricted.

Reports of its' future availability "flattered to deceive."
