I just saw the *BEST* way to die. Talk about instantaneous, complete and painless. No gurgling blood, chest pain, or last-gasps. No staring at the ceiling or contemplating your mortality even for a few desperate seconds. No discussions with funeral directors about ashes or urns.
That could be done on alcohol-and-morphine-drenched “retirement” platforms over the ocean and people could enter the food chain as phytoplankton at the bottom of the food chain in such quantities, and at such economy as no other available nutrient source. Man made reefs could be built around these platforms and spawn the greatest eco-cafeteria on the globe. Fisheries would spring up for hundreds of miles while the boom in zooplankton and krill would boom.
How would that look?
The sick and dying could pay $5000 and be flown / ferried to “Retirement Island Platforms” where they could eat, drink and carouse with young (open-minded but college-hopeful) consorts who could bank $60K in 30 days. (10% of the retirees’ resort fee is for an experience with a consort. Extra ‘experiences’ are extra.
When the retiree finally tires, or passes out, their sleeping module waits 5 minutes past loss of consciousness and then sling shots them into the platform’s colossal jet turbine. The Island Queen, Mount YouSnoozius.
Sure it’s a weird idea and sure it will never arrive in the minds of men. But it would be amazing and it would be the kind of thing that people would participate in.
