"Where Art Meets its End … The concept of a capsule that could produce a rapid decrease in oxygen level, while maintaining a low CO2 level, (the conditions for a peaceful, even euphoric death) led to Sarco’s development.

"There was even a VR experience (woohoo!) recently at Amsterdam's wonderfully-named Funeral Fair, wherein plucky convention-goers got to simulate, through VR, what it would be like to kill themselves in the Sarco (Want to see for yourself?)." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzshPhNveSA
