Not so much a 'wonderful' idea, but a practical one I suppose. I wouldn't want authorities telling me I'm not allowed to kill myself if it's what I wanted to do.

Useless discussion. If you want out, you can pick your own way, not some bag created by another smartass inventor looking for his 5 minutes of fame. People who are really tired of life will find their own way out.

A plastic bag with string on the bottom? Isn't that the reason bag manufacturers state on the bottom "Keep away from small children, suffocating may occur" ? What a great new invention..... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, an elderly women took her own life here in Australia not so long ago because she couldn't bare living in pain any longer. She was the first person in Australia to kill herself because of an illness. Recently more people have been following in her steps and have taken their lives. Now in Australia this IS illegal, so this option has been reviewed and I think they are trying to make it legal so long as you use one of these bags.
I think they are a great idea. If someone is in so much pain as to want to kill themselves, then let them do it! After all it's their life. |

Shouldn't such a thing be used as a weapon? In a crime? I realise that ordinary things like kitchen knives are used in crimes too, but this bag invention sounds a little grotesque to me.

*shrugs* sounds fine to me.
Who has more right to do what they will with their life than the people themselves? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Come to think of it, It COULD be used as a murderweapon. Leave no prints and everyone would think it's suicide. Maybe they should reconsidder this ?

Perhaps they won't think it's suicide unless the man or woman in question had a history of mental or physical problems.
Besides you could kill people in a variety of differant ways and make it look like a suicide. Hopefully they won't use it for anything else but suicide though, as the bags do seeem to be a good idea. |
