....And yet you missed the "Kavorker™"?

In Russia, it's legal for a doctor or loved one to assist someone in using the Kavorker™. In Russia, the Kavorker™ has no label on it, there's just a bench with no hole for the blue toilet chemicals, and it's molded in a subdued color.  Because it's illegal to assist anyone in committing suicide in the US (except in Oregon and Washington State), our loved ones are forced to spend their last moments in a chamber colored and labeled as a "TOILET".  This isn't exactly "Death with Dignity", but it's as close as we can get in 49 states in the US.

The  Kavorker™ is not UL listed. UL certifies the safety of electrical equipment. The Kavorker™  guarantees the death of the user within 10 seconds. UL has refused to certify that the Kavorker™ is not safe, and is effective at causing death within 10 seconds.

A standard telephone line is needed to make use of the vital sign monitoring equipment which automatically dials 911 and plays a recording when it detects that the user of the Kavorker™ has died. The 911 center will automatically see the address of the Kavorker™ on the screen, and they'll dispatch emergency personnel. Please note that it's illegal to have a machine dial 911 with a recording in many areas. In this case, there will be nobody for the police to arrest.

It's recommended that you have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) form in the built-in 8 1/2 by 11 document holder attached to the Kavorker™. Without the DNR, the emergency personnel will have to attempt to resuscitate you (which will be impossible.
