How Can I Build a Portable "Dead-Man's" Switch?
An anonymous reader asks: "I'm a widower caring for my very disabled child. I have family who check in on me often, but not reliably, and not every day. How can I rig up a 'dead-man's switch' that will alert family or emergency services should something happen to me, so that my child can be cared for? Her medical needs are significant enough that being alone for even an hour could be fatal for her. We do occasionally get out of the house, so a GPS type cellphone and a heart-rate monitor watch would seem to be the ticket, but how to link the two and get the desired dialing behaviour?"
Burned jews smell like toast. Fuck you nerd /. Fags, GNAA up in your vulva, bitches!
The perfect weapon to stop mass zombification getting out of control.
What's your excuse, fag?
... just let them die.
Seriously. It sounds cruel. It probably is. But if God has determined that they shall live, they'll live on their own. If He hasn't, they won't.
I really wish people would stop interfering with His plan in some effort to make themselves feel better.
Obviously since I can't make it myself anymore, it's a sign I should just die. Thanks for the help.
It's not like dead retards have feelings.
(my CAPCHA was 'virtue')
Can't live for more than an hour?
Who wants to live like that? It's a shame some people don't get the chance to say "If I ever am in a situation where I can't survive on my own for a day, please, kill me, unless they are comming out with a cure, then SAVE MY ASS!"
Flamey? Not really meant to be.
And to the parent, full blown cell phone? A little melodramatic, don't you think?
Something like a human-based form of OnStar, but with a heart/lung monitor and an accelerometer/impact sensor (to detect the speed and severity of a fall).
Steve: Hey man, look at this!
Wally: *Reads Monitor* He fell 400 feet at negative 80 meters per second?
Steve: What a way to go
Yeah, It is gonna be a long night, I am feeling flamey. Fuck you bones, and your "prone to dangerous falls" bullshit!
You take it, I don't want it...
Go find a cliff or a bridge somewhere, then take your entire fucktarded family.
Have all of them jump off to their death, and after that jump to yours.
GO AHEAD! FUCKING FLAME AWAY OR WASTE YOUR GOD DAMNED MOD POINTS FUCKTARDED SHITDOT SHEEPLE!!!

I hope they don't follow the onstar principal too closely.
"OK FBI officer, Are you sure you want us to remotely deactivate unit #7192285, this will shut down his heart and lungs."

Enlightened discourse.
"I can see that this would be a big help to anyone concerned about the elderly living alone, anyone with a dependent child (or even a pet) who shares your concerns, and many other people."
Blech. How bout you have something that opens the fucking door for your pet and it can fend for itself? It's an adult animal-- if it doesn't know how to eat garbage or beg from the neighbors when it's hungry it should be put down anyway.
I know this is flame bait, but how is evolution served when we cheat it so constantly? Any child other than a newborn in a hospital that needs hourly attention is merely serving a selfish need on the part of the parent/caretaker. As Huey Lewis sang, "If you loved me you'd let me go."
So all you folks here that claim that evolution is the only way, you are obliged to take the above stand. Christ followers, on the other hand, are obliged to show compassion to the child and the caretaker. If you fail to take the let-me-go stance above, then you are not a believer in evolution, where the weak are not permitted to live long.
