What could possibly go wrong...

[mass55th]

Dr. Phil, if you abort them before they’re born, there won’t be any need for your stupid implant.

[redangus]

Who else will be able to trigger it. Any electronic device can be hacked.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Awful. 😡

[cross_bearer_02]

“First, do no harm.” So much for that, huh?

[Salman]

Who else will be able to trigger it.

I can see them implanting it in old people routinely when they visit the hospital for something else. And of course there will be a government "back door".

This is mass murder of the elderly being prepared, and that's not even getting into the ethics of assisted suicide.

Jack is back !

[LegendHasIt]

Soon, installation of such will be universally mandatory.

[Secret Agent Man]

And if they were tied up or couldnt move/immobilized and couldn’t turn it off...unconscious....

Oh no, I see absolutely no problems with this one bit

[Secret Agent Man]

People sure spend a lot of time thinking how to kill off people.

Why couldnt he spend time developing a device which has a skin contact membrane that dispenses over the day, known nootropics so that the body absorbs helpful known substsnces that support brain health and function?

[Secret Agent Man]

Now the motto is “First, do no healing.”

[GMMC0987]

Just to be sure it works, let’s test it on Joe!

Logan’s Run.

Logan’s Run…. When your crystal in your hand goes dark you turn yourself in to be liquidated…

His plans have been labelled 'disturbing' by critics, who argue that enabling people to trigger their deaths with a simple switch could have serious consequences for individuals with various mental and physical health conditions.

An implant that kills you could have "serious consequences?" Like... maybe... death? Well okay, Elena, thank you for clearing that up. LOL!

[redangus]

I think that is already doable with some pacemakers.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

reminds me of this story i read decades ago.

Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” is a 1965 dystopian science fiction short story by American writer Harlan Ellison

[packrat35]

These people love to kill the old, the young and unborn, but shriek like children when you think of executing the true murderers and guilty.
