1º_ It is a lexical component of Greek origin that is used more as a prefix sarco- or sarc- and means "meat". See medico/sarco prefix . 2º_ It is the name given to a tool created by the physicist Philip Nitshke for 'assisted suicide', a variant of euthanasia by which a person decides to end his life voluntarily and without the intervention of medical professionals. This machine is a box like a coffin or sarcophagus (probably hence the name) that is filled with nitrogen with the suicide inside, who dies in less than 10 minutes from hypoxia and hypocapnia.
It is a radical element that comes to us from the Greek and is used in compound words, such as sarcophagus, sarcophile. and what they say in the savior is a common word of theirs as a meaning. an example is like me saying in my country Ecuador means that it is a graminia for consumption and in another country like Spain it means vagina. but the meaning itself is a radical element that comes to us from the Greek and is used in compound words, such as sarcophagus, sarcophile.
