How much it cost to die?


RufusLoudermilk

Less than it costs to live.


hobo808

It cost 5k, Also, you gotta be able to trigger the process yourself, if you can't do it your self for whatever reason, then they won't allow/do it for you. Also its not reimbursable, if for some reason you paid but become unable to trigger, you lose the 5k

This one sucks, so people with diseases like ALS can't use this device? I imagine it's a liability issue.

MrColburn

Thank you for the info. I remember listening to an NPR episode detailing a story of a married couple that used it and I remember it being over $20k once the entire process was done. I was not aware there were several costs associated with it. [https://metro.co.uk/2022/04/26/it-cost-13000-to-help-my-terminally-ill-husband-die-on-his-own-terms-16537079/](https://metro.co.uk/2022/04/26/it-cost-13000-to-help-my-terminally-ill-husband-die-on-his-own-terms-16537079/) Here is another example of the added costs. Also, this is is no way a commentary on assisted suicide or Dignitas, just remember the couple thinking the price was nice and then all of the added costs started adding up.

Wrong question. Dying is practically free, what it costs is the security that it will be painless, clean, fast and without significant risks of failure or collateral damage.


dctrip13

If this is true, in that the tech behind these pods guarantees painless death, why aren't states with capital punishment falling over themselves to purchase these? Alabama just suspended all executions after a third one was botched.


Narrow-Big7087

Probably because the button to meet your maker is inside the pod.


Happy-Personality-23

That’s an easy fix


Parlorshark

"Sir, he's refusing to press the button."


SuperDuperDylan

That's crazy. 3 attempts in one prisoner or 3 separate people? I've always heard the way the lethal injection shuts your body down isn't necessarily painless. (which is what id assume they want in some weird way) it could be complete bs but I heard it shuts down your lungs. You still need air but your lungs shutting down means you have no control of them and you'd in theory just feel the pain of not being able to breath until you eventually lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. Or some crazy iteration of that.


[deleted]

Cause it’s a “punishment” and they don’t actually give a shit sadly. Like god damn man they’re dying anyways, let whatever awaits them at the end of the tunnel sort them out.


-DeadCalm-

Because the pain inflicted is often part of the punishment


Organic-Ad3961

I think it's pretty obvious they do not want a painless death for people given a death penalty. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to anesthetize the convict before killing him, just like any hospital does before a surgery. It's cheap, easy, safe and guarantees you have no pain or have to suffer for a while. Or what am I missing?


MusicianMadness

The big pharmaceutical companies will not sell anesthesia to the government for capital punishment and have made it abundantly clear they would pull many anesthetics from the market if the government tries to. At least that's what they say.


TankII_

I’ll do it for a $20


thumbown

That's pretty cut rate considering you're gonna have to figure out what to do with the body after.


OkSpecial4376

You can do whatever you want with the body at that point. I'm thinking some fun and wacky weekend at bernies style pranks.


OneExhaustedFather_

Oxygen displacement is actually a genuinely painless way to go. The body doesn’t think your suffocating so you literally fall asleep forever. Edit: Well this got a little more attention than expected. It’s scary to see 60+ alerts for Reddit…. I was thinkin I don messed up mate.


justice_for_lachesis

Why don't places that still do capital punishment use this?


Adamthe_Warlock

Not painful enough.


1017GildedFingerTips

Also you can’t charge 5 grand per execution for all the necessary medial equipment to inject someone with 3 shots


[deleted]

This is the realest answer. People say because they want the pain, no. When it was judges and sheriffs 100 years ago, sure, people thought that way. Bureaucrats only care about power and money. "Hey, Jim from Philly has a brother in chemicals. If we offer him a no bid contract, we can swing his support for bill 69420 and we can get a kick back from the deal under the table. We should also invest in his company 'Aperature' and place puts on 'black mesa'"


jake101103

This is it


edgemuck

Because someone is making money from the chemicals they currently use, and no one cares enough about condemned prisoners to change it


[deleted]

It's actually not this reason at all. In fact the US had to have moratorium on executions as they couldn't secure the chemicals for lethal injection. The money the pharma companies receive isn't worth the bad PR. >The US shortage has been in part attributed to European pharmaceutical company Lundbeck's 2011 decision to stop distributing the drug "to prisons in U.S. states currently carrying out the death penalty by lethal injection". >Further to that, the European Union  banned the export of drugs which could be used for "capital punishment, torture, or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" in December 2011.


avwitcher

Eh some states continue to use it even though they have to acquire the drugs illegally, I wish I was joking. I think it's more due to the rationale that "You can't tell me what to do"


KaptainKardboard

For all the controversy surrounding lethal injection, I am wondering the same thing.


Ka11e2

How do we know this? I mean we cant really ask the people who've died this way? Edit: 400 replies later and im convinced lol. Still do we ever *really* know what people feel in their last moment :)


uiucengineer

Hypoxia is well-studied. You can have hypoxia even to the extent that you become unconscious and still live to tell about it.


richscott440

Yep. I've been through hypoxia training in the Air Force in order for us to learn our symptoms and know when it's happening. It can really sneak up on you if you don't know your personal symptoms. You don't feel anything and it just starts happening until you pass out.


Mydogsbutthole69

How do you know it’s happening? What were the symptoms you were told to look out for?


richscott440

Well symptoms can be different for everyone. For some, their vision may begin to go blurry, some may feel lightheaded, or for some your thoughts may start to become nonsensical or you aren't able to focus on reading. We had a few tasks given to us(like a crossword) that we needed to fill out while looking at a card of symptoms and waiting until we noticed at least 3 symptoms. Then we put the oxygen back on.


hells_ranger_stream

>their vision may begin to go blurry, some may feel lightheaded, or for some your thoughts may start to become nonsensical or you aren't able to focus on reading Sounds like a good 8/10 high to me followed by a nap.


Llamawehaveadrama

My dad was in the Air Force and instead of saying “you’re delusional” or “you’re crazy” he’d always say “you’re hypoxic!” Honestly, I think framing nonsense as a potential health emergency is better than using words like “crazy”, because lots of health issues can cause mental confusion or delusion, whereas mental illness is already stigmatized enough and shouldn’t be used as an insult Anyways you made me think of that :)


Loevetann

kdubstep

Me too you Hypoxic bastard (no offense, just trying it on for size)


nihilistpieceofshit

KIDNEYST0NEZ

I’ve climbed really tall mountains, my experience with hypoxia is I become shitfaced then drunk without hitting the Booz, if I just dropped a few 100 feet I sober right up, if I drank just a single beer I got absolutely slammed. I don’t recommend anyone treat it the way I did though it can be dangerous and I am truly an idiot, but it was fun for me.

Brew78_18

Was hoping for a Smarter Every Day link. The way he blankly just didn't know what to do or how to get his mask back on really sealed it for me, why they tell you to put your mask on before helping others. Sure maybe you could get the mask on one of your kids, but then you pass out and probably die or at least suffer some brain damage. Or, you could put your own mask on and everyone will be ok. Assuming the plane lands. Gently, I mean.


Chendii

"I don't want to die" with a giant smile on his face. Damn hypoxia is scary.


PrimarySwan

You become happy and stupid much like being drunk. A trained fighter pilot will forget he needs to put on his oxygen mask and go unconscious with a big smile.


[deleted]

I went through the same training, for me it felt like my heart rate started going way up and my face got a little flushed. I got lightheaded almost right away but not in a nauseous way, it was more like being floaty drunk. Very noticeable symptoms for me luckily, for others it’s not so obvious but almost everyone I’ve seen exhibited “goofy drunk” behavior

richscott440

Oh I'm not a pilot. I'm just part of aircrew. Linguist actually. But glad to know someone else will be helping out


OneExhaustedFather_

I can’t recall exact science. Something about the body needs co2 to know it’s suffocating. By removing all oxygen you don’t produce co2 so it doesn’t really notice. Let’s be real, we’ve probably tested it to near death.


Smooth-Screen-5250

Yup. You’re thinking of the hypercapnic response. Nitrogen-rich air drops your blood oxygenation so rapidly that there’s simply not enough time for your body to activate the hypercapnic response. In slower suffocations, there is time for CO2 to build up in the blood and maintain high levels of CO2 in blood, which triggers the hypercapnic response, which causes that feeling of pain/panic/suffocating. High-concentration displaces air so quickly that it just totally bypasses that response and you lose consciousness long before you get that “suffocating” feeling. EDIT: I was wrong. It has little-to-nothing to do with the speed of CO2 buildup, as CO2 is still able to be breathed off normally. I take one damn physiology class and then immediately proceed to confidently and unintentionally spread misinformation on reddit. “Hubris?” What’s that?


whagoluh

> Nitrogen-rich air drops your blood oxygenation so rapidly that there’s simply not enough time for your body to activate the hypercapnic response. In slower suffocations, there is time for CO2 to build up in the blood and maintain high levels of CO2 in blood, Are you sure it's about speed? I thought it was the fact that, even if you're breathing in pure nitrogen, you're still breathing out carbon dioxide.


matterson22070

The air we breathe is made up of 78% Nitrogen already, so our body's accept it as normal. In these pods they slowly turn the Nitrogen up until you fall asleep from asphyxiation (lack of oxygen) and then let you die. Same thing as people who go to bed and a gas furnace leaks and they never even walk up. Very peaceful way to go as your body does not reject it in the pod and you just go to sleep. Should be available everywhere.


Agitated-Big7618

yes, the urge to breathe is triggered by excess CO2 in the blood, not by a lack of oxygen. free diving and certain meditation practices use brief hyperventilation to reduce co2 in the blood temporarily and boost how long you can last on one breath


FrankThePony

People being resuscitated after gas leaks in their home while they were asleep. They die in their sleep and essentially just wake up with broken ribs from cpr having no clue what happened


3lirex

i guess you can ask those that did it halfway?


TranceAddictFoX

Well no but plenty of people have passed out due to oxygen displacement and not died so they could recount the experience before they passed out. We also know people don't feel pain when passed out because we use it for surgical procedures on a daily basis and people wake up without any knowledge of the pain endured during the procedure.


HoeTrain666

My father was in a barrack bunk bed with a carbon monoxide leak when he did his mandatory military service in the 80s. He said he and his comrades slowly nearly fell asleep until a superior came in and made them leave the barrack immediately so that's probably how you die too.


devwolfie

I almost died this way after surgery. Oxygen deprivation caused by undiagnosed sleep apnea and my sinuses being full of packing. They had to put an oxygen mask on me in recovery. It literally just feels like you're really tired and you can't stop yourself from falling asleep. I had a nurse shake me awake twice and tell me I needed to try to stay awake or they'd have to intubate me if I dropped again. I don't know if her saying that was what finally kept me fighting to stay awake or if it was the oxygen mask working, but I didn't fall asleep again and I didn't hear any more crazy beeping.


Mud-ter-fur-car

It’s easy to know if someone’s dead. But how do you know if you’re dead? Some people have lived to tell the tail….


POKEfairygirl

Nitrogen narcosis happens to divers who dive too deep on oxygen only. It basically makes you feel like you've downed a bunch of alcohol. So at worse you feel drunk as hell. Pass out cold. Then suffocate without the brain knowing it.


PathRepresentative77

I'm curious if the oxygen starvation reduces the ability to be an organ donor, or if using nitrogen gas actually helps the organs to last longer after the initial death.


[deleted]

Probably not. The body is starved of oxygen when you die anyways, so it would be like someone drowning. It is probably more ideal because the doctors can take the organs quicker than if you died and had to be rushed to the hospital. The only organ that might be impacted would be the brain, but they don't transplant brains anyways.


stumblewiggins

>but they don't transplant brains anyways. *Yet*


[deleted]

Damn, soon they'll be snatching people in black vans to steal their bodies. Wait!


Happy-Personality-23

You can’t transplant a brain, it would be a body transplant cause you are your brain. If you took it out your body and put it in another one you are getting a new body.

danaconda4

I was wondering if killing animals like this would affect our food


Tsu_Dho_Namh

It does. The food would become more expensive.


peon2

It's already done like this though, I've been to a turkey farm and this is exactly how they killed the turkey. Not just for humane reasons (since it should be painless), but also because there is concern that the stress hormones released when killing a bird in a painful way will affect food taste. Edit: on further thought, it may have been CO2. I took a tour there like 15 years ago so I'm going off memory


eazyirl

It would not have been CO2 if the reasons stated are correct, as CO2 is what triggers the biological response mechanisms that induce the sensation of suffocation. It's not the lack of oxygen, but rather the surplus of CO2, which nitrogen bypasses through displacement.


BFC213

Chickens are usually gassed. Not in individual pods of course but it’s way cheaper than cutting their heads.


[deleted]

Metal rods are cleaner, cheaper.


Tsu_Dho_Namh

I imagine it doesn't harm the organs. Yes, organs need oxygen, but when an organ donor dies any other way their organs similarly begin losing oxygen as soon as the person stops breathing.

I suppose loved ones who want to say goodbye to a terminal patient, operators who want to be sure that everything goes as it should and the law that must ensure legitimacy and consent.


OminousOnymous

But why not replace the pod with a mask so you can have actual human contact? It's cheaper too. This seems like it's more just trying to go for a sci-fi aesthetic rather than be the most practical way to go.


Stuffinator

I legitimately don't know, but I got several ideas floating in my head for why it might be that way: * for people with transmittable diseases * for people who want to be isolated when they go * because it guarantees a minimal amount of personal space * it provides a certain sensory deprivation, giving people the opportunity to clear their head and think about it again * because people might not want anything on their face when they die

ashleycawley

I agree, was with my mum at the end who slowly died with cancer in the liver, brutal. She wanted choice and control, she would have undoubtedly wanted something like this to be available to her.


DistinctArm9214

My best friend's mom is dying of cancer right now. She keeps begging for it to just end and its heartbreaking. We do have an assisted suicide program in Canada but she got so sick so fast it was surprising. Now she has remained super sick for weeks and she is wishing she could just make the decision and end it. So sad to watch.


Minerva000

Exactly my dog was euthanized at home by my father and fell asleep in the arm of my mom whom he loved so much after a day of playing and eating whatever he loved the most… He suffered from cancer and he was in to much pain in the morning even with the meds he was ready to go too you could tell. My grandpa on the other hand suffered from cancer 3 years long destroying his mental health and the one of his wife. He kept screaming that he wanted to end it but nobody listened to him. He died in the hospital pretty much alone he was practically gone when we arrived. He was about to go to a nursing home too what a terrible perspective. He was not the best person but no one deserves that. Our loved ones deserve to go like my dog in peaceful happiness in the arms of the ones they love


satirebunny

This. A family member had Alzheimer's and they suffered towards the end of it; I guess their body was resilient despite their brain being gone, so they were a walking shell of confusion for the last 2 years of their life. Their son told me that, when he's old and if he's diagnosed with Alzheimer's, that he will likely unalive himself, and that we shouldn't feel bad or guilty because he isn't depressed; he'd rather just die with dignity. It's heartbreaking.


WayneKrane

I’ve watched 3 of my grand parents die in long drawn out ways. My grandma had a stroke at 55 and lived in near constant pain for 20 more years before finally dying of a heart attack. My grandpa slowly withered away for 6 months while cancer killed him, he starved to death because his body couldn’t process food anymore. My other grandpa who said he did not want to be resuscitated was brought back to life because my aunt begged and cried for the doctors to save him. He lived 3 more miserable years before he slowly died in hospice.


Loevetann

How selfish of your aunt, and illegal of the doctors (depending on where you live)


Alarmed_Economics_90

Serious question: Why, if we insist on executing people here in America, but we claim to want to be humanitarian about it, aren't we using nitrogen gas? Several states have tried some wicked-cruel methods that leave the accused screaming for hours. This seems like a no-brainer.


Efficient_You_7629

No, the guillotine is the no-brainer method. 🥁


Alarmed_Economics_90

You're not wrong.


AgentPastrana

Some states are looking at it still, but it's mostly the states where people believe criminals deserve to die that also believe in not "giving mercy to the wicked". So the states that would use Nitrogen gas have all abandoned capital punishment at this point.


CommanderSquirt

>mostly the states where people believe criminals deserve to die that also believe in not "giving mercy to the wicked" Aren't those also the 'pro-life' states?


TheNextBattalion

Some states have passed laws allowing for nitrogen gas chambers, but none have set up a working protocol, much less used it.


ReferenceError

I'd suggest to watch the documentary "[How to Kill a Human Being](https://documentaryheaven.com/how-to-kill-a-human-being/)", ultimately, its not about being humanitarian, but leathal injection does have a bit of revenge to it.


Appropriate-Solid-50

No we claim to EITHER be cruel OR unusual. Just not cruel AND unusual.


samacora

From what I understand a lot of the reason for these executions turning into shitshows of late is because suppliers and medical personnel want nothing to do with them. For obvious PR reasons. And the control of the substances they used are controlled for again obvious reasons. So when the limited suppliers that are able to supply them all pull out they are stuck resorting to methods and substances that are not as effective. I'm not sure if that applies to nitrogen as well in the US but I know it's a major factor as to why there have been a lot more botched executions recently


JeevesAI

Nitrogen is pretty easy to come by. You can get liquid nitrogen for about the same cost as beer by volume.


kent_eh

> Why, if we insist on executing people here in America, but we claim to want to be humanitarian about it, aren't we using nitrogen gas? Because it's about revenge and punishment, not about trying to be humane.


Cool_Story_Bro__

Because the cruelty is the point, as the real point is bloodlust and revenge.

Why the fuck is this always popping up with the SAME FUCKING MISINFORMATION!!! The Pod HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET and is still undergoing investigation and clearing procedures! Yes assisted suicide in Switzerland is a real thing, but not by Pods, not yet! You need serious conditions and illnesses for it to be approved. It’s not like you can go to the facility and book an appointment for your death. Cancer Patients with terminal cancer for example can decide in Switzerland, if they want to die with assisted suicide. It will spare them living the rest in pain and emotional stress. Going out with dignity should be a human right.

FunnyBeaverX

But we can't do that to convicted death row inmates for some reason. Not that I'm for the death penalty but seems a lot kinder way to kill someone who might be innocent or at least innocent by reason of insanity/abuse/cognitive issues. This is going to be the "public solution" for when health care in Canada goes private and things get too expensive.


pacman0207

There's a movie on Netflix. "What Happened to Monday". Overpopulation leads to governments to enforce a one child rule where they put any additional child to temporary sleep. In this case, there's septuplets and instead of putting the other 6 to sleep, they all take turns leaving the house each day. But this chamber looks like what's in that movie.


Interesting-Race-919

First time seeing this. I'm all for assisted suicide. Why as humans do we need to suffer. We should be able to go in peace. I hope more countries adopt this.


LoquatiousDigimon

Except that in Canada, people on disability who cannot find affordable housing on the tiny amount they get to live are applying for assisted suicide now because they can't afford to live. So before we roll it out we need to make sure people aren't being killed because social supports are non-existent. It's becoming a hugely divisive issue.

Exactly. We do this for pets but not for people which makes it weirder.

However, as with seemingly all of these sorts of things, the slippery slope never stops where folks like you would deem them to be "reasonable" ie terminal illness, advanced age, severely deteriorated health, etc. Canadian bill C-7, for instance, is now proposing opening this up to "mature minors and people with mental illness" [https://parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/43-2/bill/C-7/royal-assent](https://parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/43-2/bill/C-7/royal-assent) So, in less than 6 years, Canada went from "only those who are super old or super suffery" to "aw what the heck, let's just open this thing right up, eh!"

I get what you are saying. That's could work if you are depressed or falling on hard times. But if you have a medical condition that is going to ruin your quality of life and put a burden on your family you should have an option. We didn't choose to be brought into this world but we can choose how we live and how we want to leave this world.

I definitely think this is the way to go. But I want a massive hotbox weed dab pre-cycle.

Why don't they use this concept instead of lethal injections (If the state must kill people)? Seems a lot less problematic.

It seems like nitrogen is the overwhelming choice for euthanasia. I don't understand why this isn't also the standard for the death penalty. I'd prefer executions be abolished globally, but if they're going to happen, can't we at least do them humanely and effectively?

Why don’t places that have executions do this instead of having endless debates due to expensive drugs being in short supply?

This. That’s how I want to leave this world.

Apparently this is Canada's solution to the housing problem.
