The Death Toshiba - On Display
from the weird-stuff dept
A Toshiba laptop used by an Australian doctor for euthanasia is going to be on display at a museum in London. Apparently, the doctor would set up the patient with a syringe controlled by the laptop, and the patient would have to go through a series of questions to confirm that the patient wanted to die. It's a little spooky that people actually want to see this computer...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Good way to force kids into doing their homework.
But seriously, People are morbid and like to look at things like this. Unfortunatly it is human nature... If you see someone that has been shot ot something a long those lines.. Most people will stare.
