This is ironic – a suicide device that has a safety feature, a get-out clause. Continuing exploring the commodification of suicide, I felt that in developing this technology, the company ‘Die Pod International™ would also want to leave every option open to potential clients. If they’ve already supplied a comfortable, secure, sophisticated environment in which to ends one’s life; they surely wouldn’t have over-looked some safety features to reassure clients. Perhaps the panic button’s very availability would be responsible for aborted suicides and the continuation of life for a great many people.
Frequently, suicide is a cry for help; a last desperate attempt to bring great personal, internal crises to the attention of society.
