Controversial push-button suicide machine to be rented to people
with a death wish.

By LLAN HALL

A German lawyer and politician has unveiled Europe's first suicide machine for people with a death wish as "an act of Christian love".

The machine that can be rented and is then collected to be re-used by other clients kills painlessly at the push of a button.

It was unveiled by Dr Roger Kusch, 53, head of a suicide assistance society in German, who said: "Press one button, and seconds later death arrives."

The machine, which is smaller than the size of a shoebox, and is painted green, involves the user putting a needle in a vein and the machine does the rest at the touch of a button.

1. Some questions.
Who collects the rental deposit after return?

Who do they go after if the user doesn't return it?

If you pay by check and the check bounces, who do they go after?
