The ‘Sarco’ is the creation of 70-year-old Australian euthanasia advocate Philip Nitschke, also known as ‘Dr Death’.

When a button is pressed, the Sarco will fill with nitrogen, resulting in the person losing consciousness after one minute and dying after five minutes.

It will be unveiled at the Amsterdam Funeral Fair on Saturday, where attendees can get a glimpse into what it will be like to step in the Sarco using a virtual reality headset.
