Good grief. So obsessed are some among the assisted suicide set, that they keep thinking of ever-more bizarre ways for people to make themselves dead.

Latest example, Faye Girsh, a biggie in the assisted suicide movement internationally. How big? She is the current president of the International Federation of Right to Die Societies.

In a question and answer interview, Girsh offers potatoes as a means of suicide. From the Vice interview:

Question: Well, guns are so accessible in America. People are going to use whatever they can get their hands on [to commit suicide].
​Girsh: We would love to find a better, more gentle method. At our upcoming conference, someone is presenting [a device] that we started out calling “the killer potato.” It’s a contraption with two potatoes that you place on your carotid arteries. Then you have this thing that tightens them automatically.
I’ve had people suggest that [the device] could be marketed for autoerotic asphyxiation. There is some question about whether it would really work. The problem is, how do you try these things out?

Ai, yi, yi: These people are completely out of their minds.
