Dr Philip Nitschke is hoping that doctors will embrace his Sarco pod, created with a 3D printer, when the assisted dying bill becomes law
An Australian right-to-die campaigner has vowed to bring a double-suicide pod to the UK after the bill to legalise assisted dying passed its final vote in the Commons.
MPs voted on Friday by a majority of 23 to approve Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
The legislation will go to the next stage of scrutiny in the House of Lords but with the bill expected to become law, Dr Philip Nitschke, a prominent advocate for assisted dying, said he hoped to use his controversial Sarco suicide capsule in Britain for the first time.
