News of the Weird: Homeland-Security Spending Binges, and "Smelling Salts"
![An option for suicide "with elegance and euphoria" is how Lithuanian-born Ph.D. candidate Julijonas Urbonas (London's Royal College of Art) described his "Euthanasia [Roller] Coaster," currently on the drawing board. Urbonas' model of "gravitational aesthetics" would be a three-mile-long, 1,600-foot-high thrill ride engineered to supply 10 Gs of centrifugal force (a spin at about 220 mph) to induce cerebral hypoxia, forcing blood away from the head and denying oxygen to the brain. Euphoria (and disorientation and anxiety, but not pain) are likely states to precede the brain's shutdown. Urbonas insisted that users would have the option through the first two minutes of the three-minute ride to rethink their decision and bail out (or else to push the final "FALL" button). (Suicide is legal in four European countries and Oregon and Washington.)](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-10/65343172-14115313.jpg "An option for suicide \"with elegance and euphoria\" is how Lithuanian-born Ph.D. candidate Julijonas Urbonas (London's Royal College of Art) described his \"Euthanasia [Roller] Coaster,\" currently on the drawing board.
