Blick explained: "The nitro capsule costs 18 francs. There are also costs for handling the body after death (transportation/cremation, etc.)."

18 Swiss Francs currently works out at about £15.56 (~$20 US). That's cheaper than most train tickets around the UK.

Here are links to The Last Resort, the new Swiss organization using the Sarco and its FAQs page. (Sorry, no one under 50 yo.)

Yeah you can get nitrogen and other inert gasses super cheap.

That's why I don't understand the people who made him out to be some 'hero' for charging £10k for basically a vacuum formed bit of plastic that looks like some futuristic device.

A tank of nitrogen and an air tight box will do just as well for a couple of hundred £.

If getting a quick simultaneous displacement & replacement of air with pure nitrogen was so easy Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Missouri wouldn't have spent years designing their nitrogen execution methods.

It is easy, states and big business just want to fleece the tax payer for as much as possible.

All you need is an air tight or high flow of nitrogen into an enclosure and job done.

Accidental deaths all the time in industry.

Don't believe the medias lies.

Because of anti death penalty and anti suicide advocates and media fear mongers, I hope the first user is hooked up to blood oxygen, EKG/ECG (heart) and even EEG (brain) monitors. A video could be taken of the user since Sarco has "windows." A physician overseeing the death could write an article about it for a medical journal.

You are free to undercut the price of the Sarco pod by manufacturing your own device and making tons of money with worldwide sales….

Looks like you have to be 50+ to use it and you still need to pay fees like body removal, membership and cremation
