A British couple who have been married for over 4 decades have decided to die in each other’s arms and are ready to sign documents to end their lives via a controversial double suicide pod.
The couple, 86 year old and his wife, 80 year old Christine Scott will have to travel to Switzerland for the entire procedure after they sign with Swiss organisation, “The Last Resort”, who are offering them assisted dying via the pod.
Reports indicate that this old couple, who have six grandkids decided to go for this procedure after Christine was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia.
The process which is called, Sarco, short for ‘sarcophagus’, “is a 3D-printed capsule mounted on a stand that contains a canister of liquid nitrogen to die by suicide through inert gas asphyxiation.”

“The use of nitrogen decreases oxygen levels quickly, which prevents panic and suffocation. The process takes just 10 minutes.”
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Peter said, “We have had long, happy, healthy, fulfilled lives but here we are in old age and it does not do nice things to you.”
“The idea of watching the slow degradation of Chris’s mental abilities in parallel to my own physical decline is horrific to me.”

“Obviously I would care for her to the point I could not, but she has nursed enough people with dementia during her career to be adamant she wants to remain in control of herself and her life.”
Assisted dying gives her that opportunity and I would not want to go on living without her. We understand other people may not share our feelings and we respect their position. What we want is the right to choose.”
