Euthanasia Coaster-Machine to Kill those who want to Die!
Euthanasia Roller Coaster. Morbid creativity that expresses the darkest recesses of the mind.
This contraption is as good an invention as the Cyclon B Hitler used in the Camps of Auschwitz,Bergen-Belsen,Treblinka etc.
If Euthanasia is sparingly approved world-wide, surprising that this Killing machine is being promoted.
”
A Lithuanian architect and former theme park worker, has designed a chilling roller coaster concept to thrill passengers – and kill them.
Dubbed the ‘Euthanasia Coaster’, the morbid design by Julijonas Urbonas, “humanely, with elegance and euphoria, takes the life of a human being” by travelling at 100m/s and lifting the passenger up to a height of more than 1,600ft.
During the three-minute ride, passengers are spun and flung into hoops at 223m/h.
The ride would cause the brain to die from cerebral hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, after experiencing the deadly spins and turns of the track.
“Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful,” explains Urbonas in the video interview.
“Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this ‘kinetic sculpture‘ is in fact the ultimate roller coaster,” adds Urbonas.
‘The ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead.”
An informative site on Euthanasia which assists people who are terminally ill or call it a day.
”
We campaign for a change in the law to allow assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults – a campaign which benefits from overwhelming public support.
Alongside access to high quality care and treatment, dying adults who can make the decision of their own free will, should have the choice of an assisted death, within strict legal safeguards.
An assisted death is where a doctor prescribes a life-ending dose of medication to a mentally competent, terminally ill adult at their request, and the patient then chooses to administer the medication themselves.
Assisted dying is different to euthanasia and assisted suicide. Euthanasia is a term often used to describe life ending medication being administered by a third party. Assisted suicide refers to providing assistance to die to someone who is not dying.
In this section of the website you can find out more about our campaign to change the law on assisted dying including key research from other countries that already have legislation. Should you be unable to find the information you are looking for, please contact us.

Send message from Facebook after Death-Facebook Application.
Facebook has come out with an an application that lets you post on Facebook after your death.
Trustees are required for this.Read more on this below.
What if I have something bad to say about the trustees?
If I die-Facebook Application. Sense of black humour?
Death is a subject that comes with a lot of open questions: How and when will I go? How will my loved ones cope? What will happen to my Facebook page? Okay, that last one might not be high on your “To Do” list, but it is the easiest one to take care of with the “If I Die” Facebook app, which lets you record a video or text message that is posted to your wall once you’ve passed on.
Developed by Israeli start up, Willook, which focuses on “time capsule” services and products, the “If I Die” app allows users to ensure they get one final statement out to their online friends if they meet with an untimely end. Users simply install the app, record either a five minute video or a text post, and assign three good friends to act as “trustees.” In the event of a person’s passing, the three trustees must confirm the death with the app before the message is posted.
It may sound morbid and a bit creepy, but the app might be a useful service to give some people a little peace of mind – the terminally ill, for example. Willook suggests leaving behind a final farewell, a long-held secret, or even one last insult, depending on a person’s preference. The developer is very clear that no one, not even anyone at the company, can see the messages that users create until their death is verified.
The website and descriptions for the service have a darkly humorous slant, which the developers say is meant to diffuse the sensitivity of the subject. For example, check out the video below to hear the app explained in a voice that sounds like it should be reading a Roald Dahl book rather than discussing your final message from beyond the grave.

Interesting Facts about The Human Body.
Image via Wikipedia Following are some of the less known incredible facts about the Human Body.
My father used to say’ It is not a wonder how we die; but why and how we Live’
The human brain is the most complex and least understood part of the human anatomy. There may be a lot we don’t know, but here are a few interesting facts that we’ve got covered.Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things around you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away? It’s due to the super-speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car.
- The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn’t too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping.
- The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on adefinitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty darn impressive.
- Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream. The brain only makes up about 2% of our body mass, yet consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body, making it extremely susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation……
While they’re not a living part of your body, most people spend a good amount of time caring for their hair and nails. The next time you’re heading in for a haircut or manicure, think of these facts.
- Facial hair grows faster than any other hair on the body. If you’ve ever had a covering of stubble on your face as you’re clocking out at 5 o’clock you’re probably pretty familiar with this. In fact, if the average man never shaved his beard it would grow to over 30 feet during his lifetime, longer than a killer whale.
- Every day the average person loses 60-100 strands of hair. Unless you’re already bald, chances are good that you’re shedding pretty heavily on a daily basis. Your hair loss will vary in accordance with the season, pregnancy, illness, diet and age.
- Women’s hair is about half the diameter of men’s hair. While it might sound strange, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that men’s hair should be coarser than that of women. Hair diameter also varies on average between races, making hair plugs on some men look especially obvious.
- One human hair can support 3.5 ounces. That’s about the weight of two full size candy bars, and with hundreds of thousands of hairs on the human head, makes the tale of Rapunzel much more plausible.
Though we may not give them much thought unless they’re bothering us, our internal organs are what allow us to go on eating, breathing and walking around. Here are some things to consider the next time you hear your stomach growl.
- The largest internal organ is the small intestine. Despite being called the smaller of the two intestines, your small intestine is actually four times as long as the average adult is tall. If it weren’t looped back and forth upon itself it wouldn’t fit inside the abdominal cavity.
- The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 feet. No wonder you can feel your heartbeat so easily. Pumping blood through your body quickly and efficiently takes quite a bit of pressure resulting in the strong contractions of the heart and the thick walls of the ventricles which push blood to the body.
- The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades. While you certainly shouldn’t test the fortitude of your stomach by eating a razorblade or any other metal object for that matter, the acids that digest the food you eat aren’t to be taken lightly. Hydrochloric acid, the type found in your stomach, is not only good at dissolving the pizza you had for dinner but can also eat through many types of metal.
- The human body is estimated to have 60,000 miles of blood vessels. To put that in perspective, the distance around the earth is about 25,000 miles, making the distance your blood vessels could travel if laid end to end more than two times around the earth….
Bodily Functions
We may not always like to talk about them, but everyone has to deal with bodily functions on a daily basis. These are a few facts about the involuntary and sometimes unpleasant actions of our bodies.
- Sneezes regularly exceed 100 mph. There’s a good reason why you can’t keep your eyes open when you sneeze–that sneeze is rocketing out of your body at close to 100 mph. This is, of course, a good reason to cover your mouth when you sneeze.
- Coughs clock in at about 60 mph. Viruses and colds get spread around the office and the classroom quickly during cold and flu season. With 60 mph coughs spraying germs far and wide, it’s no wonder.
- Women blink twice as many times as men do. That’s a lot of blinking every day. The average person, man or woman, blinks about 13 times a minute.
- A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball. No wonder you have to run to bathroom when you feel the call of the wild. The average bladder holds about 400-800 cc of fluid but most people will feel the urge to go long before that at 250 to 300 cc.
- Approximately 75% of human waste is made of water. While we might typically think that urine is the liquid part of human waste products, the truth is that what we consider solid waste is actually mostly water as well. You should be thankful that most waste is fairly water-filled, as drier harder stools are what cause constipation and are much harder and sometimes painful to pass….
Sex and Reproduction
As taboo as it may be in some places, sex is an important part of human life as a facet of relationships and the means to reproduce. Here are a few things you might not have known.
- On any given day, sexual intercourse takes place 120 million times on earth.Humans are a quickly proliferating species, and with about 4% of the world’s population having sex on any given day, it’s no wonder that birth rates continue to increase in many places all over the world.
- The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. While you can’t see skin cells or muscle cells, the ovum is typically large enough to be seen with the naked eye with a diameter of about a millimeter. The sperm cell, on the other hand, is tiny, consisting of little more than nucleus.
- The three things pregnant women dream most of during their first trimester are frogs, worms and potted plants. Pregnancy hormones can cause mood swings, cravings and many other unexpected changes. Oddly enough, hormones can often affect the types of dreams women have and their vividness. The most common are these three types, but many women also dream of water, giving birth or even have violent or sexually charged dreams.
- Your teeth start growing 6 months before you are born. While few babies are born with teeth in place, the teeth that will eventually push through the gums of young children are formed long before the child even leaves the womb. At 9 to 12 weeks the fetus starts to form the teeth buds that will turn into baby teeth….
The primary means by which we interact with the world around us is through our senses. Here are some interesting facts about these five sensory abilities.
- After eating too much, your hearing is less sharp. If you’re heading to a concert or a musical after a big meal you may be doing yourself a disservice. Try eating a smaller meal if you need to keep your hearing pitch perfect.
- About one third of the human race has 20-20 vision. Glasses and contact wearers are hardly alone in a world where two thirds of the population have less than perfect vision. The amount of people with perfect vision decreases further as they age.
- If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it. In order for foods, or anything else, to have a taste, chemicals from the substance must be dissolved by saliva. If you don’t believe it, try drying off your tongue before tasting something.
- Women are born better smellers than men and remain better smellers over life.Studies have shown that women are more able to correctly pinpoint just what a smell is. Women were better able to identify citrus, vanilla, cinnamon and coffee smells. While women are overall better smellers, there is an unfortunate 2% of the population with no sense of smell at all…
Aging and Death
From the very young to the very old, aging is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Learn about the process with these interesting, if somewhat strange facts.
- The ashes of a cremated person average about 9 pounds. A big part of what gives the human body weight is the water trapped in our cells. Once cremated, that water and a majority of our tissues are destroyed, leaving little behind.
- Nails and hair do not continue to grow after we die. They do appear longer when we die, however, as the skin dehydrates and pulls back from the nail beds and scalp.
- By the age of 60, most people will have lost about half their taste buds. Perhaps you shouldn’t trust your grandma’s cooking as much as you do. Older individuals tend to lose their ability to taste, and many find that they need much more intense flavoring in order to be able to fully appreciate a dish.
- Your eyes are always the same size from birth but your nose and ears never stop growing. When babies look up at you with those big eyes, they’re the same size that they’ll be carrying around in their bodies for the rest of their lives. Their ears and nose, however, will grow throughout their lives and research has shown that growth peaks in seven year cycles.
- By 60 years of age, 60-percent of men and 40-percent of women will snore. If you’ve ever been kept awake by a snoring loved one you know the sound can be deafening. Normal snores average around 60 decibels, the noise level of normal speech, intense snores can reach more than 80 decibels, the approximate level caused by a jackhammer breaking up concrete…
Most of us will get injured or sick at some point in our lives. Here are some facts on how the human body reacts to the stresses and dangers from the outside world.
- Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest. Yet another reason to loathe Mondays! A ten year study in Scotland found that 20% more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week. Researchers theorize that it’s a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase.
- Humans can make do longer without food than sleep. While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating, that feeling will be relatively short lived. Provided there is water, the average human could survive a month to two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors. Sleep deprived people, however, start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days. The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days, at the end of which the experimenter was awake, but stumbled over words, hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing.
- A simple, moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively.How extensively? Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition. Consider that the next time you’re feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside.

May Serene Death Descend.
Image via Wikipedia My mother in law who was 79 years became senile.
She used to ask for her parents,child hood mates.
Immediately she will come to the present and ask my wife whether she can cut the vegetables.
My daughter’s marriage was conducted.
She used to ask my sister-in-law’s daughter,who was unmarried, whether her husband(really it is my son-in-law) is well and in the same breath ask my daughter if she is pregnant.
She used to narrate Ramayana thus.
Rama was married to Sita,n0,Sita was married to Ravana,Rama sat on cereals with oil on him, it got stuck to him and he got up, a crow came and Rama ran away.
She will wake up in the middle of the night and ask for Refuge of Police.
She passed away couple of years back.
My class mate’s Father is 96.He lies in a fetal position and keeps rocking himself in that position.
He is unable to remember his children,but recalls his parents,brothers and sisters.
When one of his colleagues died recently my friend informed him of this.
He immediately rang up his friend’s Home number and inquired of his Family.
He eats well,takes care of himself without any one’s support.
He is alive .
I wonder- Is this where and how we end?
These people had no Physical/mental disorder.
I have numerous cases to cite.
No doubt Lord Krishna in Srimad Bhagavad Gita, clubbed old age as a disease.
‘Kaumaaram Yauvanam Jara’ (II Chap.)
‘Vrudhdham’ is a disease.
I am sixty.
What can I Pray?
‘Sree varchchasvam,ayur, arogyam maavidhhach choba maanam maheeyande,
Dhaanyam,Dhanam,Pasum,bahuputhra labham,satha sam vathsaram dheerkamayuhu’
(Wealth of all kinds,Good things in Life’Longevity,Health,Food,Assets,good children)
No ,this is what I pray.
‘anaysena maranam vinyedainyena jivanam |
dehi me krupaya Sasta tvayi bhaktimacancalam’A painless liberation, a life devoid of misery( one which is not dependent on others) – please grant these my Lord Sastha ! and also give me an unwavering devotion towards you..Enough of this Life.
