Title: A Wild Ride
Description: Aging architect and hobbyist daredevil, @@RANDOMNAME_1@@, has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Wanting to go out on @@HIS@@ own terms, @@HE@@ has designed "The Euthanasia Coaster" - a rollercoaster built to end the lives of its riders.
Validity: Has euthanasia
Option 1: "It's simple really," @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ explains between labored coughs. "The coaster is an exhilarating ride that culminates in the passengers blacking out and then eventually dying - and painlessly, I might add! All I ask is for permission to construct The Euthanasia Coaster so I and other fellow thrill seekers can go out the only way we know how: in style."
Effect: people would rather be caught dead than to be viewed as unstylish
Option 2: "This makes a mockery of a very important, yet very sad, decision," interjects Dr. @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Grief can already be overwhelming to the families of the afflicted - making euthanasia seem 'exciting' and 'hip' will only exacerbate that grief. Euthanasia should only be performed by trained medical professionals."
Effect: many hospital patients have to wait around to die
Validity: Does not euthanize the elderly (861.1)
Option 3A: "Such efficiency brings a tear to my eye," says your economic advisor. "24 people killed - snap! - in a moment. With it and many more constructed across the country, we can institute a new social program: all citizens over the age of 65 will ride the coaster. Just imagine how strong our economy can be without the elderly leeching all of our resources."
Effect: retirement parties are held at funeral parlors
Validity: Does euthanize the elderly (861.1)
Option 3B: "Such efficiency brings a tear to my eye," says your economic advisor. "24 people killed - snap! - in a moment. We should begin constructing rollercoasters across the country so that citizens about to turn 65 are given more choices when going in for their mandatory euthanization."
Effect: retirement parties are held at funeral parlors
And yes, it's a real thing (sort of).
