Euthanasia Coaster

[Regular_Atheist]

Oh, yes, so far, it’s just a concept. I hope this does not get built, though. It may be just a concept, but it should not even be a concept. It should not exist… that’s why I’m concerned. After almost seven years, people publish articles regarding the coaster, and there are at least two people willing to be a “guinea pig” in case it DOES get built. It’s interesting, but it’s madness too.

What is “interesting” about an idea of how to kill people?

I fail to see what is interesting about new ways of crushing someone to death.

There are clearly very interesting implications in terms of human biology and physics. If you read the articles they’re more concerned with the process of death of an individual on the roller-coaster, the forces acting on them and how exactly it would kill you. None of the articles seem to describe it as a viable form of euthanasia. It is incredibly interesting to read about the process and the fact that such a thing could exist. It’s clearly not a viable or useful form of euthanasia, and it could only exist in a satirical novel written by Aldous Huxley or someone. The common argument against euthanasia, that it could become a means to “dispose” of unuseful elderly and disabled people, clearly does not apply to this. Honestly, if this had just been named the “death roller-coaster” or something, none of you would take any notice of this.

I mean I’m not necessarily against euthanasia either, but that isn’t really the debate here.

Mengele found stuff like this “interesting” too.

Lol.

Do you say the same thing to horror movie writers? I don’t see people here making threads to complain about The Human Centipede - a concept which supposedly could also work in real life. Do you get equally mad at people who design military weapons, who do actually hope their designs might one day get to kill people?

Honestly getting offended at this is silly, and I don’t think any of you would care if they had chosen a different name for it. This is a fabricated roller-coaster that will never get to kill people.
