Published: 6/3/2025

Euthanasia activist Dr. Florian Willet, involved in a suicide pod case, has died by assisted suicide in Germany after experiencing psychological trauma following his arrest. Dr. Willet was present when a woman used the pod to end her life in Switzerland. The pod, created by Philip Nitschke, offers an assisted dying option outside traditional medical practices, although it faces opposition for potentially glamorizing suicide and lacking medical oversight.
