Switzerland Approves Assisted ‘Suicide Capsule’

I'm asking because I was under the impression most religions view Suicide as a Sin against God or something. 

Switzerland has just legalized a new way to die by assisted suicide. The country’s medical review board has just given authorization for use of the Sarco Suicide Pod, which is a 3-D-printed portable coffin-like capsule with windows that can be transported to a tranquil place for a person’s final moments of life. 


Conventional assisted-suicide methods have generally involved a chemical substance. Inventor Philip Nitschke of Exit International told the website SwissInfo.ch that his “death pod” offers a different approach. “We want to remove any kind of psychiatric review from the process and allow the individual to control the method themselves,” he said. “Our aim is to develop an artificial-intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity. Naturally there is a lot of skepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists.”

The pod can be activated from inside and can give the person intending to die various options for where they want to be for their final moments. “The machine can be towed anywhere for the death,” he said. “It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted-suicide organization, for example.”

To qualify to use the pod, the person who wants to die must answer an online survey that is meant to prove whether they are making the decision of their own accord. If they pass, they will be told the location of the pod and given an access code.
Once inside, the person intending to end their life will have to answer pre-recorded questions and press a button that will start the process of flooding the interior with nitrogen, which will quickly reduce the oxygen level inside from 21 percent to 1 percent. “The person will get into the capsule and lie down,” he said, adding, “It’s very comfortable.”

He said the person will likely feel disorientated or euphoric. “The whole thing takes about 30 seconds,” he said “Death takes place through hypoxia and hypocapnia, oxygen and carbon dioxide deprivation, respectively. There is no panic, no choking.”

I believe suicide should only be a option due to some sort of catastrophic illness or accident. If you just want to die, and are other wise healthy but have emotional or mental issue  tuff shit, get over it. life is what you make it, things won't all ways be bad, and if you kill yourself you'll never experience it.
I could go on more but some wouldn't like the point of view that would be expressed and i don't feel like fussin about it.

There is one exception to the being healthy and wanting to kill your self i could live with. That would be if your a worthless murderous,baby raping violent thug POS and want to end it all I'd be all for that, in fact the more painful your death the better.

That said, no where in bible that i know of does the bible say killing yourself is a sin, and i have read it cover to cover many times. it does say murder is, but is killing yourself murder? Not only that Jesus is the last and final sin offering, he died for all your sins, past, present, and future. If you accepted him as your savior, and asked for forgiveness of past sins, sins that you are aware of right now, sins that you thought about committing, and sins that you may not remember or are aware of where then your forgiven. Future sins only God Knows, that is ones that your not planning,but sins like killing your self, robbing a bank, killing that cheating wife and her boyfriend, i think you can understand what i mean.

Sure your gonna have to pay the consequences, but if if your saved even if you haven't asked you will be  forgiven for them at the pearly gates when you are judged and given the opportunity to ask then.

I'm not a very good teacher, so I'll say it this way. God knew man was a sinful creation, that's why the Israelite's had to give sin offering every so often as a blood sacrifice . Jesus came to do away with all that, he was the last blood sacrifice.

There's more spiritual aspects to this than i have words to say it. Best i can do is say that God knows a person heart. If you take pleasure in sin and not remorseful for the ones that you become aware of, that's your ass.

One more thing, the only unpardonable sin is blasphemy against Holy Spirit.
