      Euthanasia. Although it was just an exercise rather than a planned invention.

        Honestly, I’m pretty sure this is a more humane way of killing people, and I think the people about to get killed would agree. That’s kind of the point of the artwork. If it stood between lethal injection and this, it’d be roller coaster all the way down, baby.

        You’d black out way before you died, and it’d be a proper sendoff I think. Just, ok, that’s your life, goodbye, all aboard, off you go, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…-

          Every year many people die placidly in their sleep, accidentally poisoned by carbon monoxide. No special injection or elaborate devices, it’s one of the most painless, effective, and cheap options, but people really like to over engineer euthanasia.

            I’m with you 100%. Cheap, effective, painless.

            In lieu of that, what about the deathcoaster though huh?
