Death By Nitrogen

I think maybe the US jails with death rows could be a customer
A 64-year-old US woman took her own life inside a controversial suicide capsule at a Swiss woodland retreat, with police on Sept 24 saying several people had been arrested.
The space-age looking Sarco capsule, which fills with nitrogen and causes death by hypoxia, was used on Sept 23 outside a village near the German border.
The portable human-sized pod, self-operated by a button inside, has raised a host of legal and ethical questions in Switzerland. Active euthanasia is banned in the country but assisted dying has been legal for decades.

I do. It's an incentive not to try, as you can be prosecuted if you fail, as many or most do. There's really not much else law can do.
@Mik Indeed. I wonder if it also allows first responders to take action to stop the act by default. For instance, if they were called to the scene of a person sitting in their running car in the garage....they are allowed to break a window, open the garage, get them to a hospital, etc. Even if their intentions were clear.
