Buonasera, la notizia è piuttosto vecchiotta, l'articolo è del 9 Dic. 2021 mentre il "Sarco pod" [1] è stato inventato nel 2017.
https://www.euronews.com/next/2021/12/08/the-sarco-suicide-pod-aims-to-take-assisted-dying-out-of-doctors-hands «The Sarco suicide pod aims to take assisted dying out of doctors' hands with AI and 3D printing» --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- A 3D-printed "suicide capsule" has passed a legal review in Switzerland, potentially clearing the way for the technology to be put into use in the country's legal assisted suicide clinics. The Sarco capsule's creator, Dr. Philip Nitschke, told Euronews Next that his aim was to allow anyone to download the design and print it themselves. In the future, an AI screening process will allow Nitschke's assisted dying advocacy organisation, Exit International, to "demedicalise" the dying process by removing the need for medical professionals to be involved, he said. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- La notizia è rilanciata anche dalla stessa azienda nel suo media book: https://www.exitinternational.net/sarco/sarco-aims-to-take-assisted-dying-out-of-doctors-hands-with-ai-3d-printing/ Anche Gizmondo ne parla https://gizmodo.com/controversial-assisted-suicide-pod-cleared-for-use-in-s-1848167349 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- “Our aim is to develop an artificial intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity,” Nitschke told the site. “Naturally there is a lot of skepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists. But our original conceptual idea is that the person would do an online test and receive a code to access the Sarco.” --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- L'azienda nelle sue FAQ scrive: https://www.exitinternational.net/sarco/faqs/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The Sarco is not and never will be for sale. The plans will be published in The Peaceful Pill eHandbook. The cost of Sarco will depend on what is charged by the 3D print shop. While the price is dropping all the time, it will never be very cheap. In 2022, the cost to print a Sarco is around €17,000. In the early stages of development it was thought that Sarco could double as one's coffin. If the Sarco is printed from suitable biodegradable materials, this is still true. But the high printing cost of Sarco intimates that it may be better to have a Sarco that can be used multiple times over. Better and cheaper for the user. More friendly to the planet. [...] Exit believes that the right to a good death at a time of one's choosing should be a fundamental human right afforded to all adults of sound mind. What type of gift is life if you cannot give it away? Because Sarco uses no drugs, no doctors need be involved (except for an assessment of mental capacity). Sarco is a game-changer because it will allow a person of sound mind control over their own death. No longer will they have to beg a panel of doctors to grant their final wish (by prescribing lethal drugs). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- A quanto pare l'idea dell'inventore di sostituire la commissione medica con un "mental capacity assessment" svolto da non meglio precisata intelligenza artificiale è seria.
