Think the world will ever see a 'suicide booth'?

[Raziaar]

Well, its a pretty weird question, but a valid one. Do you think somewhere in the future, the world, or at least certain countries, will enable the construction and usage of 'suicide booths'? It's a very morbid topic, but an interesting one.

Apparently in futurama, we'll see them by 2008

Heh, but that's just a cartoon, ehehe.

I wonder though, even if suicide booths are built on the streets for a low low 25 cents, you think it would curb people from doing it in many of the ways they do it now?

Me, I hate the thought of suicide, and the sheer moral terror of the possibility of a suicide booth, but you never know when some day it could happen.

Why would we ever see these? I don't see how this could be profitable\useful in anyway...

Raz get out of the tub filled with hot water, drop the razor blade.

People buy bottled water so it wouldnt suprise me that some would pay a fee to commit suicide.

LMAO. Thanks for the concern, but i'm not the type who would ever consider suicide :-P

It just really clicked in my head to make a dumb thread about it on these forums after watching Futurama pilot episode just now.

I remember when I first saw that episode I had a nightmare that all my friends were going to the local suicide booth. It's funny to think about now but back when that epi. first aired my dream terrified me.

Suicide is wrong, you would have to be a desperate person to condemm yourself to such an escape. The idea of a suicide booth disgusts me, what kind of corperation could run this service? There is never a good reason to kill yourself, theres allways help like friends, family or even a complete stranger it's just plain wrong.

Dont you worry about blank, let me worry about blank!

I have a suicide booth next to my house for a living, makes shitloads of cash.

Depressed? Tried therapy already? Tried prozac? Does it feel like nothing is fun anymore? Don't fight it.


Use Stop-n-Drop, Americas Nr 1 form of suicide since 2008!

 

[CptStern]

sure why not, they have oxygen vending machines that give life why not cyanide vending machine that dole out death? ....the only problem I forsee is body disposal

 

[DizzyOne]

for 25 cents? plain comedy =)
It would be a great way to kill someone and some bully will probly trick 6 yr olds to try it out.

I hope America will get them...

We've got suicide booths in building D of my university, though the sign pointing to them says "Elevators"... elevators, pfft... dratted things keep trying to kill me, I know that, so they can't be elevators...

Theres nothing valid about the question at all, but to answer it... No. We will never see suicide booths (at least not in 'civilised' (ha) society)
