A chilling abbreviated movie has envisioned what it would beryllium similar to thrust the hypothetical 'euthanasia rollercoaster' — a thrust designed to termination its passengers successful a 'euphoric way'.
The conception of the rollercoaster was conceived successful 2010 by Lithuanian creator Julijonas Urbonas, with the purpose of giving radical a decease 'with elegance and euphoria'.
Inspired by Urbonas, movie director Glen Patron and Nick Walter, created the abbreviated film 'H POSITIVE' to research the mentation visually — with terrifying results.
The rollercoaster, with a 500-meter drop, 7 loops, a 223mph terminal velocity, and a unit of 10 G’s, would supposedly origin prolonged cerebral hypoxia to a passenger.
The prolonged vulnerability to the high-G forces would origin symptoms including passageway vision, grey-out, convulsions and achromatic earlier resulting successful death.
In the archetypal moments of the abbreviated film's rollercoaster ride, the protagonist appears to beryllium successful discomfort arsenic the sheer unit propels him downward.
But arsenic the ride progresses, helium experiences a flash of memories, earlier being rendered unconscious.
While a hypothetical concept, the plan explores acheronian themes related to euthanasia, the morals of assisted death, and the relation of exertion successful quality beingness and death.
Urbonas said his decease instrumentality could assistance 'control populations' and fto radical permission the satellite with successful a benignant of blaze of glory.

The rollercoaster was designed portion Urbonas was a PhD campaigner astatine the Royal College of Art and uses 'extreme g-force' to termination radical arsenic they hurtle down 500 metres to scope a velocity of 100 metres per 2nd connected 7 loop-de-loops.
'Your humor is rushed to your little extremities truthful determination is simply a deficiency of humor successful your brain, truthful your encephalon starts to suffocate. When your encephalon starts to suffocate, radical go euphoric,' Urbonas said erstwhile presenting his design.
'Usually pilots acquisition specified utmost forces for conscionable a fewer seconds, but riders successful the rollercoaster acquisition it for 1 infinitesimal and cipher has experienced this for specified a agelong time.'
However Portuguese neuroscientist, Dr Antonio Damasio, believes the rollercoaster is much apt to make 'nausea and discomfort' alternatively than death.
'Unfortunately, the likelihood of immoderate pleasance and euphoria being produced is low; nausea and discomfort would beryllium much probable,' Dr Damasio wrote connected the Design and Violence blog connection committee tally by New York's Museum of Modern Art which exhibited the plan past summer.

Urbonas, who says helium has been successful roller coaster improvement since childhood, insists the task is much of an creator look and it's peoples' reactions to the rollercoaster that helium finds astir interesting.
'Some of them accidental that the decease coaster changed the mode they acquisition amusement rides, others assertion they would ne'er thrust coasters again,' helium wrote successful effect to Dr Damasio's critique.
Defending his design, helium besides said the instrumentality could antagonistic 'boring' methods of euthanasia utilized successful countries wherever the practise is legal.
'It [euthanasia] is executed successful an highly boring fashion, proposing 'humane' voluntary decease could beryllium much meaningful, personal, ritualistic,' helium wrote, portion pointing retired that helium is not advocating for assisted suicide.
He adds that though the euphoric feeling that comes from 'GLOK oregon G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness' would besides beryllium accompanied by nausea and discomfort, it would not past long.
'The speech connected pleasance could besides widen to exhilarating sensations that lure millions coaster fans. In summation to these physiological pleasures, I privation to stress, the decease coaster hints astatine the anticipation for a circumstantial benignant of semantic pleasure: an alternate ritualized decease appealing to some the idiosyncratic and the mourning public,' helium writes.
'Of course, it is not for everybody, precise overmuch similar thrill rides and fearfulness movies.'
The contraption has not been built and lone exists successful the signifier of a standard model.
