The human lifespan is diverse but limited. And the way to end the lifespan is diverse but limited, either. Philip Nitschke, the est ablisher of the company Exit, invented the machine that helps users end their lives. In Switzerland. The principle used in this machine is quite complicated. In 10 minutes, the degree of Nitrogen is increased until the amount of Oxygen becomes lower than what people need to maintain their health. This leads to the end of users’ last moment of life without any pain. Moreover, there is a button inside the machine that the users can push whenever they want to halt the machine. But the fact is: not one of the countries allowed people to use the machine yet, because of humanistic and social issues that will come afterward. 

Philip Nitschke has been working on the 'right to die' for a long time. He believed that every person has the right to live and the right to end their life. However, the way to use this machine is quite complicated. First, the users must prove their determination of using the machine by being watched by the employees. Second, they are required to prove how much and why they’re suffering from. Third, they should be allowed by their government to use that. After all these complicated processes, users are allowed to use machines, and they may end their lives in 10 minutes. 

The establishment of this machine is blamed a lot due to its concept. Some experts and magazines state that this machine is framing suicide as one beautiful determination. Moreover, the danger to be enforced to determine this is likely to happen. But one thing that can be clear is; that the word 'suicide' will be considered as another view of death if the pain is not being accompanied. Yet the machine is not prepared in enough numbers, but global society will confirm the third door of life when it's fully prepared.
