Dublin Leaflets Claim To Offer 'Automated Euthanasia'

Leaflets which claim to offer 'automated euthanasia' at a number of locations are dropping on doormats across North Dublin.

Tranquility says that it offers its clients "a fast, efficient, mobile and fully automated service", which it says allows them to "take that last step in life".

The company, which claims to be Irish owned, says it's worked with engineers in Belgium and a legal team in Switzerland to develop the service, which it says is "discrete, professional and legal".

The leaflets detail a 9 step plan which starts with clients registering their interest and being collected by "an independent taxi company" which will take them to what effectively reads to be a spontaneously-combusting caravan.

The leaflet claims the 'tranquility booth' will visit a number of locations in November, including Griffith Avenue, Phoenix Park, St Annes Park, Howth and James' Street.

Clients will be given a code which can only be used 72 hours after they register, and must be re-entered along with a date of birth to activate the Tranquility Booth. When inside the booth, on-screen instructions will take clients through a psychiatric evaluation to determine their eligibility.

Once all tests are passed and the client still wants to go ahead with it, a chair retracts into a booth and an anesthetic is administered automatically allowing clients to "float away in this relaxed and tranquil environment".

Before that final step, clients are given the opportunity to leave messages to loved ones, write a will with the help of a Swiss legal team via video link and choose "from an extensive range of urns" which can then be sprinkled in 57 countries - or in Space.

The leaflet goes on to explain that when a client's heart stops "the crematorium is automatically activated" and an urn full of ashes will be collected by a courier and delivered to your destination of choice.

The leaflet is raising a few eyebrows, though. It carries tongue-in-cheek offers including OAP discounts and competitive quotes.

A phone number on the leaflet doesn't get answered when called, the advertised website claims to be under maintenance "due to unprecedented demand" and its Facebook page is liked by just 4 people.
