Dr Philip Nitschke's Sarco suicide pod has been used for the first time.

The coffin-like booth hosts a person's final moments as they end their life with a fatal dose of nitrogen, leading to 'painless' gas asphyxiation.

Pro-life groups have warned his machines 'glamorize suicide' The Sarco pod reportedly costs more than $700,000 to develop, but will cost each user as little as $20 ( 15 ).

Dr Philip Nitschke said the bag method would be neither violent nor traumatic and more accessible compared with drugs.

CoGenie or CoGen would generate the deadly gas carbon monoxide which would be inhaled with a face mask.
