where they go into a bed and slowly assisted into death
Nah. I’ll take quick and painless. Which also gets into that protein thing. Even today, in a round about way, we all end up eventually as someone else’s food. So may as well take a few middlemen out of the equation and just puree people into McChicken filler.
Well I’d probably take the quick and painless route if I had to make a choice.
But in the movie, it’s entirely painless and the patient gets to watch a cool movie with beautiful music as they are slowly ushered into the “other world.” I think that idea of it being painless and kind of beautiful would make it a lot less dire of an experience (though I like the idea of 25 cent Suicide Booths - there’s something about the silliness of having to use a quarter to make it work - just another bit of randomness that makes the necessity of suicide booths more appealing).
