Peter and Christine Scott, a married couple from the UK, have announced their plans to become the first British users of a double suicide pod, known as the Sarco, in Switzerland following Christine's diagnosis with early-stage vascular dementia. The couple, married for 46 years, wishes to die together in the pod, which they believe will allow them to end their lives peacefully and in each other's arms. They have registered with The Last Resort, a Swiss organization that facilitates assisted dying, and hope to use the pod once a new twin model is available later this year. Peter has expressed deep concerns about the decline in both their health and the potential burden of long-term care costs in the UK, where assisted dying remains illegal. The Sarco pod operates by filling with nitrogen, causing loss of consciousness and eventual death without distress. Their decision aims to raise awareness and support for the legalization of assisted dying in the UK, where they feel their right to choose is currently denied.
