According to reports, Switzerland's medical review board has legalised Sarco suicide pod to allow&nbsp;a person to die by assisted suicide.

The pod is reportedly a 3D-printed capsule which resembles a coffin. The person intending to die gets in the pod and is asked questions and then when the person is ready a button is pushed activating the mechanism. The capsule releases nitrogen which reduces the oxygen level as the person loses consciousness.
