In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It's done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

Re-brand it as a liberty booth and sell it as an improvement to the economy and less social services usage to see them pop up all over the US.

They'd take up that fresh prime Redbox real estate.

I'm generally pro-suicide but its depressing how likely your thing sounds.
