    It being 3D printed is the least relevant part of this. But it has to be in the headline to get clicks. But it apparently also has to be the lead? "Molecule based “suicide pod’…”, “Carbon neutral ‘suicide pod’…”, “Self actualized ‘suicide pod’…”, “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’…”

    There aren’t many things you could put in front of the real story here that change the story without creating an even bigger story. And 3D printed is definitely not one of them.

      The register is a tech magazine, so the DIY/3D printed angle is relevant here. It’s also relevant because it would, at least to some degree, allow someone to build it themselves in places where perhaps the legality of self determination is questionable. The Register is not a place where you’ll normally find unnecessary clickbait headlines.

      Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’

      ROFL. I can even imagine the scene of someone going through the… you know, the thing… and while oofing they see a big screen “This pod is sponsored by Grim Reaper Funeral Home, the angel at your service”.

      It won’t take long for a “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’ Vanced AdBlocked PainBlocked”.

      It’s kind of a big deal if you can’t legally do this (and as it happens, you can’t where they did it) by implying you can circumvent the law this way.
