Robot Assisted Suicide
Posted on Mar 27, 08 12:05 AM PDT
An 81-year-old Australian man relied on a do-it-yourself robotic "suicide booth" to end his life. The Internet was instrumental to this, as he managed to download basic plans for such a machine online, constructing a robot which could shoot a .22 semi-automatic pistol from a distance. Hence, he aligned himself to the gun and the robot "pulled" the trigger. This sad end could have been avoided if he sought help online instead of ways of ending his life, eh?
