The first person was supposed to die in a car on July 17.
The creator of the scandalous “suicide capsule”, which is claimed to painlessly end a person's life with the push of a button, canceled at the last minute launch.
The Daily Mail reports.
Dr Philipp Nitschke, nicknamed “Dr Death”, has announced that plans to place the first patient, dubbed “Persona X”, in the Sarco capsule have been “put on hold forever”.
A woman in the United States in her 50s planned to use a high-tech dying system described as the “Tesla of euthanasia” on July 17.
Prosecutors in Switzerland's canton of Schaffhausen have warned a 76-year-old Australian doctor that going ahead with the operation could result in legal trouble for him, saying it would entail “serious consequences.”
However, it was not fear of persecution that forced the team of the euthanasia group Exit International to abandon their plans, although the doctor believes that the ensuing “media storm” did affect the patient.
