In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It’s done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

    Not to mention that the drug they use, euthanyl is very bad to get into the ecosystem. If you have a pet euthanized then you can’t take it home and bury it because the chemical will poison anything that happens to dig up the body and eat it.

      Yup, there have been a lot of reports of vultures getting sick or dying from improperly disposed animals.

        In a way I hope my dog dies of natural causes because I don’t want to put him down and not get to put him in the forest of our backyard.

        Cremation is bullshit, they cremate a pile of pets all at once and scoop out some for each person. You likely aren’t getting your own pet back.

          You say this now but man you don’t want to see how sad a dog is when they are really old can hardly walk. Sit in the corner all day and just be alone. Only coming out for food/water.

          See if you can find a farm vet, they’ll come to your house and euthanize you’re pet with you there and then you can bury him yourself on your own property.

          Our vet offers a choice between group or solo cremation, with the latter of course costing more.

          And yeah that’s assuming they’re being honest, lol.
