Former German Politician Makes Suicide Machine to Help Patients Kill Themselves

Berlin, Germany (LifeNews.com) -- A former German politician has made what he calls a suicide machine that he wants to use to help disabled and terminally ill patients kill themselves. Roger Kusch has modified a perfusor, a machine normally used to help patients by allowing the injection of medicine over a long duration. Kusch has reportedly adjusted the machine to allow patients to set off a mechanism that would administer lethal drugs doctors would prepare. "It is the most bearable method for those with a death wish," he told CNN in an interview about the machine. He told the news service he thinks the machine would protect doctors who would assist patients in taking their lives because patients would be able to press the button to begin the administration of the lethal cocktail. They would receive anesthesia as well as a lethal dose of potassium chloride causing death within minutes.

Machine Suicide

The big question to ask here is wether such a device is good to have in the hands of someone who may be depressed on not in their right mind at the time. Worst scenario also can be, suppose they press the button prematurely or by accident?
