Inventor Develops Double Dutch Sarco Pod

In September 2024, pro-euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke is developing the Double Dutch, a two-person version of his 3D-printed Sarco euthanasia pod that incorporates an AI mental-capacity test. Swiss police seized the original Sarco after a woman used it and died, opening an investigation and leaving the inventor awaiting legal clearance while planning a dual-button, AI-gated device for couples in Switzerland.
