[Mail] The inventor of the Sarco suicide pod is building a 'kill switch' implant which could allow dementia sufferers to seal the time of their death years in advance.Dr Philip Nitschke, whose controversial capsule ended an American woman's life in Switzerland last September, has told MailOnline that his newest device is nearing the testing phase.
His plans have been labelled 'disturbing' by critics, who argue that enabling people to trigger their deaths with a simple switch could have serious consequences for individuals with various mental and physical health conditions.
