You Don't Know Jack Page #2
( heart monitor
beeping slowly )
Jack:
My mercitronmachine, david.
I built it
just for you.
You see...
We have a monumental
opportunity here, david,
To not only...
End your own suffering
But to give
your death a meaning.
By providing your organs
To more useful citizens,
You will be
benefitting society...
Immeasurably.
Just so you know,
On a first-come-
first-serve basis.
Now...
I don't know
if you know this,
But I cannot give you
the injection myself.
It's illegal.
But you can release
these solutions
On your own.
The saline drip is gonna
Activate the thiopental.
This is gonna
put you to sleep
And set off this timer.
You'll fall
into a deep coma
As the lethal dose of
potassium chloride
Stops your heart.
Uh, I know you have
no motor skills,
So I added this.
You can move you head
slightly side to side.
Don't do it now, but
Between your teeth.
Put it in
and move your head.
Very simple- Move
your head side to side
Just a little bit
and it goes.
- The time comes, you just let
your teeth do all the work.
this is outrageous.
- Jack:
No it's not.- Get that thing out of here now.
- He's just receiving new information...
- Jack.
...So he's bound to react.
Just give him a chance to calm himself.
Could you just give him a
chance to calm himself?
Please leave immediately
of I'll call security
And have you thrown out.
- Please leave.
- 'm sorry, david.
I don't need
your security.
- Certainly don't need that.
- Get it out of here.
David, I'm sorry
for this upset.
Man:
Doctor, please.
- 'm sorry.
- Man:
And take that thing with you.Lessenberry:
It took acouple more months,
But the doctors finally did allow him
to be taken off of life support.
And what
a brutal way he went.
- Brutal? - Brutal.
Think about it.
Is it really any different
than what the germans did
- n nazi germany?
- Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
- Hmm?
- Do you want me to print that?
- Print what you want.
- We're talking about hospitals,
- Not nazis.
- Well, they do the same thing...
Starving people to death.
They cut off their feeding
And their water
and they let them die.
And it's all legal.
court has validated
The nazi method
of execution.
( lessenberry laughs
) excuse me.
You- You obviously don't
approve of the current method.
No, I don't.
Do you?
Starving people to death?
No, I don't think so.
It's inhumane.
If a person's
allowed to die,
Then you inject them-
painlessly, quickly.
You don't let them
wither away.
It's inconceivable.
It's unspeakable.
