Euthanasia Roller Coaster - Putting the Fun Back Into End of Life Choices


Listen Later

Patricia Willis


For most of us, the idea of dying isn’t one we think of fondly.  It’s a frightening leap into the unknown, one we anticipate will come with a lot of pain, a loss of dignity, and a surrender of any illusion of control we may have thought we had in life.  But for the right to die advocates, the idea that we should be allowed to take charge of our passing, particularly those with terminal, debilitating illness, is long overdue - as is the idea that death should be something terrifying or painful.Enter the Euthanasia Roller Coaster (or Coaster of Doom, as I like to call it) a purpose-designed structure meant to kill its riders with a sense of fun and euphoria that is often lacking in assisted suicide.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coasterhttps://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/the-roller-coaster-designed-to-killhttp://thescienceexplorer.com/technology/euthanasia-roller-coaster-ride-designed-deathhttps://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2013/designandviolence/euthanasia-coaster-julijonas-urbonas/https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/euthanasia-roller-coaster-the-movie.htmhttps://www.funeralwise.com/digital-dying/euthanasia-roller-coaster-yes-real-thing/https://adventure.howstuffworks.com/destinations/theme-parks/10-deadliest-roller-coaster-accidents.htmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEklVDlqwbQ&ab_channel=FinnXuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKmKLZOAT38&ab_channel=PurpleCat
