A German lawyer and politician has unveiled Europe’s first suicide machine for people with a death wish as “an act of Christian love”. The machine that can be rented and is then collected to be re-used by other clients kills painlessly at the push of a button.
It was unveiled by Dr Roger Kusch, 53, head of a suicide assistance society in Germany, who said: “Press one button, and seconds later death arrives. “The machine, which is smaller than the size of a shoebox, and is painted green, involves the user putting a needle in a vein and the machine does the rest at the touch of a button.”
