No one should have to just wait around until they die when their condition is terminal and they're in constant horrible pain. My maternal grandmother died like this and it decades later my mom (her daughter) is still traumatized.

Are you sure you want to suicide? Yes. Are you though? Yes. You really really really sure? Yes.

it's not legal yet; first test in Switzerland got cancelled because of the unclear judicial situation.

Assisted suicide in a clinical setting is already legal there though. This sounds like its expanding assisted suicide availability to all.

Yeah. About that incurable part. What if you simply can’t get meds that provide relief?

It might be legal but it doesn't seem to be real yet.

(serious) DIES within 30 secs, or just goes peacefully unconscious in 30secs, needing more time in said chamber to go brain-dead?

My mum died of terminal illness and she suffered for days. Old age and struggling to breathe. It would be no comfort to have added this 1/

Stressful destressing decision into her last few weeks with us. old age and death isn't easy but it's part of it.
