This idea first came out on 2010, but just yesterday in FaceBook did I see it existed. The rollercoaster is designed for those who want a “dignified death” that is “not boring”.
This is the information I got from the coaster:

“The concept design of the layout begins with a steep-angled lift to the 510-metre (1,670 ft) (0.317 mile) top, which would take two minutes for the 24-passenger train to reach. From there, a 500-metre (1,600 ft) drop would take the train to 360 kilometres per hour (220 mph), close to its terminal velocity, before flattening out and speeding into the first of its seven slightly clothoid inversions. Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to maintain the lethal 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of corpses and loading of new passengers could take place.”

These are the links I found regarding the rollercoaster:

Fortunately, this is still just a concept, but there are at least two people willing to go through this rollercoaster. The response for this coaster is definitely divided, and me? I find this idea…

DIS-GUS-TING.

Not only that, but the designer for this rollercoaster claims: “He’s not an advocate for euthanasia”, and yet he’s giving his clients an option to die if they wish. Some are arguing it will not be painless, but cause discomfort, and other symptoms before dying.
One of my more distanced friends loves the idea, while my aunt, a devout Catholic, is displeased with it. Well, so am I.
 
I don’t think anyone is suggesting this be built. It’s just an interesting concept.

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.
 
I am willing to be euthanized once I am unable to take care of myself and my body starts to fail whether at young or old age and if it’s not available then suicide as long as it’s painless.
Making people suffer against their will is pure evil.

Sadly, in this day and age, in the era of the internet, its a bit like the wild west- anything goes as there is no clear law of this new ‘land’. People will say and publish things to rouse a response- even if its negative or offensive or evil, it will get more views. I’m not at all internet savvy when it comes to how websites get paid by their advertisers, but I have heard that the more ‘hits’ a website or webpage receives the more the publisher of that website gets paid. People without any conscience will do whatever it takes, say whatever it takes to bring in those people- especially using offensive things such as this. Because a large amount of people have heart, it will stir them and they will share it. What happens is that the offense gets spread around by those offended (to show others and garner support) and then guess who goes laughing to the bank, while others peace is disturbed?

One other small note: We live in a fallen world. Whatever evil thing is proposed out there in social media (by whomever, a Satanist, an atheist, a so-called “Christian”- or any other claimed religion) there will be followers and people sucked up into the lie of it, in agreement with it, because their heart is tempted to believe in it. ( John 3:19 “… but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”…)

Its just how the waters flow in this world- some of it is mildly contaminated, some of it is pure, and some of it is deadly and/or will make you sick. IN some ways, this is good because what was invisible (an evil heart) is now visible (sadly sometimes at innocent’s expense). As with anyone that you might meet in daily living of life, if one shows to you their evil colors, you know who to avoid and not to trust.

So while the concept is out there, don’t be too quick to believe that what they say is true or going to be the near future. Some people have no conscience in spurring others for attention and over all, their love of mammon.

Someone should be able to take care of you when you no longer sustain yourself by your own. Are you refusing someone’s help, and instead prefer to die, no matter how good the person will take care of you?
Your views are respected, but your actions may not.

So equally it is evil to make people end your life against their will!!!

Where do you draw the line on this? What counts as not being able to take care of yourself? Should others abide by these standards, as well?

I also think it’s curious to say that “not killing somebody” is “making them suffer against their will.” Nobody is saying deny medicine, therapy, or cause suffering. Aging and disease are not, in most cases, deliberately done to anyone. It’s just what happens, and it’s part of the human condition. True compassion doesn’t involve telling someone, “You know what, you’re right. You are a burden and it would be better if you were dead.”

Even if someone is taking care of me, I wouldn’t want to live suffering.

Sure, just like making them live and suffer against their will.

None said that, I’m talking on a personal level, it’s the person’s choice.

Here’s the thing, though - typically, when a person says they want to die, they are mentally ill. People who claim to want to be euthanized and then get counseling typically change their minds about it, and decide to live even if their lives are harder than they were before.

This also ignores the very real problem of coercion, or people being spoken for who cannot speak for themselves.

No. It’s pure evil to kill them. If someone truly wants to end their life, they should do it the old fashioned way by killing themselves. I’m not condoning suicide, but assisted suicide is nothing but premeditated murder.

Don’t drag someone else into your suicide… and even worse is when governments are starting to force doctors into this too.

We’ll make you a deal. When you discover how to create yourself from nothing, you can take your life. Fair?

Yes

I work in the railroad industry and I hear horror stories of people committing suicide by train. By the time the train crew sees someone on the tracks it is already too late. All they can do is watch helplessly and see the person go down beneath the locomotive.

The trauma the train crew suffer is immense.
 
There is nothing whatsoever “dignified” about euthanasia. Or death generally.

In fact, we should wake up and understand that “dignity” per se is a mirage.

Reminds me of Soylent Green, where people get euthanized while watching beautiful movies of pleasant scenes accompanied by music.

*“Soylent Green is people!” * :eek:

Make sure you ask for forgiveness first, just in case…
