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".
The Sarco would contain a touchpad and nitrogen, and once an activation code is entered, "the person is again asked if they wish to die". [16] An affirmative answer causes nitrogen to flow into the capsule, displacing oxygen, and death follows shortly thereafter. The Sarco machine cannot be printed on small 3D printers.
