Whether or not you agreed with his value , Dr. Kevorkian ’s assisted suicide gimmick is a historical artefact of sorts . Which is why the New York Institute of Technology isauctioning offhis patient role helping / killing gear mechanism . Honey , you should n’t have !
Also among the morbid collection are “ painting he create with his own blood , ” Gothamist reports . But the Thanatron — the self-annihilation machine — is understandably the material pillage . An elaborate , homemade twist , named after the Greek personification of death , the Thanatron mete out a series of relaxant and poisonous substance that kill Kevorkian ’s patients . Who would want this thing in their home ? I do not experience . But it ’s a piece of medical , societal , and scientific history — so stick it in a museum , please . [ Gothamist ]
