After the chamber locks, it would be filled with nitrogen gas - knocking people unconscious within one minute and killing them within ten minutes

A scientist who is campaigning for the use of 3D printed 'do-it-yourself death pods' wants Scotland to take the hi-tech approach to assisted suicide.

But campaigners who are opposed to the proposed legislation have been left outraged by his proposal which was revealed in the Mail on Sunday. Dr Gordon Macdonald, Chief Executive of Care Not Killing said: "Ordinary people will be shocked and appalled at Philip Nitschke’s attempt to lobby for the use of his personal gas chamber should Scotland legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia."

In the future he hopes than anyone will be allowed to print out on of the pods themselves by downloading the design. He said: "It really is about democratising the dying process. We consider it a right for all rational adults to be able to divest themselves of their life, it is not just some privilege decided by others that can be granted to the very sick."
