Reminds me of Soylent Green! When they Off'd Edward G.

Looks aerodynamic. Perfect for travelling to the other side.

 

[Vil7]

Creepy

 

[Darth_Inv1ctu5]

Better than people jumping in front of traffic

 

[andnowweknow]

It's morbid, but I see nothing wrong with it. The creators seem to be doing it strictly out of care for the suffering.

 

[TheWobbler]

Great idea, but the depending on the cost people may still choose to throw themselves in front of a train for free.

Its a good idea for terminally ill people who don't want to go through the pain of a slow death. Who are we to tell people they must suffer badly.

"I'll take "clumsy bludgeoning", please."

 

[JAEGERX]

these are like the ones in Futurama?

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

Looks cost prohibitive.

Now if you could check in and it would give you a does of Psychedelics and Morphine, might be a better way out than slow asphyxia.

A plastic bag is free at the grocery store what a waste of money.

Wondering if this is non-inclusive for religion of peace since they needs to kill infidels at the same time for suicide to be halal. Can they make it rocket into the nearest crowd of people or some shit?

 

[the muntjac]

And here I thought that high bridges and tall buildings were enough, but nnnnoooooo.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I’d like to see a demonstration.

Blasting around on a rocket in a state of near-death euphoria is how I wanna go.

"I believe it’s a fundamental human right [to choose when to die]. It’s not just some medical privilege for the very sick."

Terminally ill privilege is real folks.

 

[ShoelessRye]

Cost would be the obvious issue. But I guess if you're buying a casket, and it's close enough to the price of one. I see real benefit here over blowing your brains out or hanging yourself and having a loved one or even some unlucky stranger or cop have to come across that grisly scene.

Cremation seems really popular now a days though - is this not the case in Europe?

Hmm. I'm a straight, white male. If I get cancer, I'll be the most privileged person in the world........ yes!

“This is a situation where one person chooses to press a button rather than for instance standing in front of a train. I believe it’s a fundamental human right [to choose when to die]. It’s not just some medical privilege for the very sick. If you’ve got the precious gift of life, you should be able to give that gift away at the time of your choosing.”

This reminds me of a joke by Bill Burr.
