Futurama was right! German guy builds legal suicide machine

[Wiglaf]

I went to Switzerland once and was nearly hit by a bus because the driver was intoxicated, and the passengers were clearly enjoying it. There are no standards but neutrality and premarital sex in this country. You want to be a bus driver? As long as you are neutral and have sex with me then you get the job. This is literally how people are hired in this place, where the women are dogs and the men have no balls.

What if they are crippled by the machine. That would be a lawsuit right there.

I´m not sure, as I am no lawyer.
On the one hand it is the responsibility of the organisation that gives the machine out, to take care of the exact dosage of the KCl. So an underdosage might be a real possibility if the one who fills it into the machine isn´t fully awake
On the other hand, referring to the arguments mentioned in the article (with the kitchen knife you lend to a suicide) you also couldn´t be blamed if you lent a kitchen knife to a suicide and he/she crippleds himself in an unsuccessful suicide attempt.

But normally I suspect the probable outcome of such a trial (i.e. being crippled due to underdosage) would be, that the person responsible for the dosage of the KCl might be found guilty of bodily injury caused by negligence

I have been to switzerland as well and I can assure you that, at least around Zürich (not sure about other swiss regions) the women are no dogs, but rather very good looking examples of the human species (at least most of them).
I cannot say anything about the balls of the men there however, as I never did any closer examinations into this topic

Those Germans. Nothing changes.

Thanks.

So saving a person's life is now negligence?

At least if he ends up crippled instead of death.
If he survoives without further harm done (maybe because said person who is responsible for the dosage exchanged the KCl-solution with a physiological NaCl solution) things might have a different outcome however
(but of course nothing would prevent the suicide from just getting the right amount of KCl from another person)
