It being 3D printed is the least relevant part of this. But it has to be in the headline to get clicks. But it apparently also has to be the lead? "Molecule based "suicide pod'...", "Carbon neutral 'suicide pod'...", "Self actualized 'suicide pod'...", "Corporate sponsored 'suicide pod'..."
There aren't many things you could put in front of the real story here that change the story without creating an even bigger story. And 3D printed is definitely not one of them.
It's kind of a big deal if you can't legally do this (and as it happens, you can't where they did it) by implying you can circumvent the law this way.
