National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255 https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ Switzerland has sparked a debate on Twitter after revealing that they are developing a “suicide capsule”. Developers state the 3D-printed pods will allow people to choose the place where they want to die an assisted death. “We want to remove any kind of psychiatric review from the process and allow the individual to control the method themselves,” developer Dr. Philip Nitschke said. “Our aim is to develop an artificial intelligence screening system to establish the person's mental capacity. Naturally, there is a lot of skepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists.” “The benefit for the person who uses it is that they don't have to get any permission, they don't need some special doctor to try and get a needle in, and they don't need to get difficult drugs,” Nitschke.

We recently found out that The Blood Connection sells donated blood for about $150 per bag which prompted us to ask the question...Should nonprofits profit off of charity?

Nonprofits must be organized and operated exclusively for charitable, scientific, religious, or public safety purposes. Nonprofits are not subject to income tax, sales tax, or property tax.
