Are those "I loving love science" clickbait shitposts people share on facebook reporting on onion articles now or has reality and absurdist parody finally merged to become one http://www.iflscience.org/japan-engineers-design-robotic-bear-to-aid-in-assisted-suicide/

quote:The robot weighs 140kg and it is powered by specially designed software and advanced actuators (a type of motor that controls mechanisms). SeppuKuma also offers 23 very different methods one can choose to end their life, including Everlasting Sleep (lethal injection), Pillow Kisses (suffocation), Peaceful Breath (helium asphyxia) and Sleepy time Hug which is where the robotic bear strangles its partner until their pulse stops for 15 minutes. All of these attributes enable the SeppuKuma to give it’s patient the power to choose how they get to end their own life. An official from the JSDD says that, so far, robots have never been used for this purpose in any hospital. this is horrifying

anything that gives people control over their own lives is a plus. there is also the potential benefit of keeping the suicide forest corpse-free!

Its real purpose isn't much less depressing, basically robotic company for old people in a world where staff and family can't be assed to pay them any emotional attention

SeppuKama is the second coming of Jesus, mark my words. Won't be long before SeppuKama is nailed to the cross for his sins, but not before he leaves a trail of broken bodies in his wake. It will take the combined might of 17 countries to bring SeppuKama down, mark my words. Welp see ya have a good one.

It's not like you need a robot bear when a real bear would be perfectly suited for the job. I can sort of see the point of robot dogs for people with allergies, but I don't think that would be a problem in this case.

I wonder if there originally was a Japanese onion article or something that people took seriously. The names of the suicide maneuvers seem intentionally humorous rather than hoaxy.
