Christine and Peter Scott are planning to die together in the Sarco suicide pod after 46 years of marriage Two pensioners have decided to end their lives together in a suicide pod rather than being ‘trapped by infirmity and pain’ in a crumbing NHS. Retired RAF engineer Peter Scott, 86, can’t bear the thought of living without former nurse Christine, 80, since her diagnosis with early-stage vascular dementia.
Although a lawyer hired by Exit International claimed there was no conflict with Swiss law, this was described as ‘incorrect or at least misleading’ by Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper in 2021.
