“It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted suicide organization, for example.”

Yer in a pod killing yourself in an idyllic setting? LOL!!

“It gives me chills.”

*****

Yeah, and it’s not heading in the right direction.

We are not far from them making the decisions as to who should go and when, for the “common good.”

Did anyone catch the term “hypocapnia”? Some environmental idiots are starting to claim that CO2 is a poison. But this machine kills by reducing the CO2 and O2 in your bloodstream!

CO2 in the air is actually a potential asphyxiant. It can displace needed oxygen to the point where you do not inhale enough oxygen, but it is not inherently a poison.

Right? If it’s so idyllic, why would you want to off yourself? Take it to Detroit or Chicago.

After my dad watched my sister die slowly of throat cancer, he said people should be able to off themselves if they’re 100% terminal and dying a slow miserable death.

killing yourself in an idyllic setting?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Interesting about that idyllic setting .... quite a few people go to National Parks to commit suicide ... scenic overlooks are “popular”. I spent a lot of time on a certain stretch of parkway ... there were 2 overlooks where suicides happened fairly regularly. Beautiful view ... nature ... great place to off yourself.

“So, states need to adopt this for executions and watch Lib heads explode.”

Good idea , probably a lot cheaper than any other device/drugs they use

I see a future for it for death sentences.

That is exactly what I said! It is not a poison.

The Medical board sez it’s ok. That’s nice. There doesn’t seem to be any atrocity that the Medical Board isn’t just fine with.

Why not get creative and just shoot people out of a cannon.

A “disorientated” and “euphoric” feeling then follows, before they eventually lose consciousness.

Well we know Jeb Bush would approve.
