Euthanasia coaster: assisted suicide by thrills

Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London, designed this “Euthanasia Coaster” that will kill its riders with a series of brain-scrambling loops: “a hypothetic euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely — with elegance and euphoria — take the life of a human being. Riding the coaster’s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death.”
