国外教授研发自杀机器 可帮助人们安乐死?

A high-tech 'suicide machine' is being touted by a euthanasia advocacy group.

近日，一个安乐死倡导组织正在大力兜售一款高科技的“自杀机器”。

It's called the Sarco capsule, and it has a single, simple purpose: to help you commit suicide, painlessly and efficiently.

这款名为Sarco的太空舱，其发明目的单一、明确：帮助人们无痛、高效地自杀。

"Sarco does not use any restricted drugs, or require any special expertise such as the insertion of an intravenous needle," says Dr. Philip Nitschke, the founder of Exit International.

Exit International组织的创始人菲利普·尼奇克博士表示：“Sarco不会使用遭到限制的药物，也不需要用户掌握静脉注射等专业知识。”

"Anyone who can pass the entry test can enter the machine and legally end their life," he says.

他说：“只要能通过入舱测试，任何人都可以进入机器合法地结束自己的生命。”

As reported in Christian Headlines, the Sarco comes in two parts: a reusable machine base and a capsule that can be detached and used as a coffin. Both can be created on a 3D printer and assembled anywhere.

根据基督教头条网报道，Sarco由两部分组成：可重复使用的基座与一个可拆卸的、当作棺材来使用的胶囊。这两部分都采用3D打印，并可安装在任意位置。

Using the Sarco is easy. A potential user must complete an online mental questionnaire in order to obtain a four-digit code that will open the capsule.

Sarco的使用方法非常简单。有意的使用者必须完成一份网上心理健康问卷，以此获得一个四位数的开舱密码。

Once inside, the user closes the lid and waits for liquid nitrogen to lower the oxygen level. In just a few minutes, it's all over.

进入之后，用户要关闭囊盖，等待液态氮降低氧气的浓度。在几分钟后，一切就结束了。

The capsule can be removed for use as a coffin, and a new one can be created on a 3D printer. This can then be placed on top of the reusable base, according to Exit International.

据Exit International介绍，之后胶囊可以搬离，当作一副棺材来使用。而3D打印机会制作一个新的胶囊，之后将其安置在可重复使用的底座之上。
