   This Sarco self-deliverance contraption sure looks pretty comfy, and   
   presumably beats expiring in an ICU after years--or decades--of failing   
   health.  WHATEVER your stance on this uber-contentious issue, ya gotta   
   admit that this latter-day Kevorkian has a cool sense of   
   industrial/engineering style!   
      
   BUT:   
   I must call this Swiss suicide doc on his ripping off the late Jack   
   Kevorkian's "Dr. Death" nickname!  I am admittedly rather biased here,   
   as:  (1) I took the considerable trouble to attend Kevorkian's fourth   
   (and final) trial in suburban Detroit; and (2) two or three times* I   
   actually (and only half-jokingly) nominated Geoffrey Fieger's** most   
   famous client**** for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

   -----------------------   
   * On the "Open Lines for Open Minds with Bryan Styble" program over   
   WJR/Detroit at 760 kHz.   
   ** For a while I also was (undeservedly) credited as "producer"--just a   
   call screener, actually--of Fieger's irregularly-scheduled WJR   
   broadcast; I wonder if his guitar-playing kid brother Doug Fieger***   
   [late frontman of The Knack] was a nicer guy than I know surviving   
   attorney Fieger to be.   
   *** Died from complications of brain cancer at 57 in the San Fernando   
   Valley on Valentine's Day 2010, a Sunday.   
   **** Inventor Kevorkian didn't merely inovate his   
   repeatedly-used-by-"patients" three-tube Suicide Machine--he ALSO   
   invented something which, for whatever reason, never caught on:   
   circular playing cards!
