Opis

'Euthanasia Island' When Stanley Rosenthal purchased Euthanasia Island, he had good intentions. Driven by concern for his terminally ill wife, he wanted a place where she could spend her final days in peace. This island fit his needs; it possessed pristine beauty, white sandy beaches, epic mountains and valleys, and a sunrise that could only be topped by the magnificent sunset. After his wife's death he decided to open the island to all the terminally ill that had a need and wish for a quick and painless death free of government interference. The concept worked well, as people from all over the world made reservations to stay on the island. A stay that lasted three days for a final adventure giving them the opportunity to live and die in peace, the way they wanted to. Then the concept was compromised: Fueled by the allure of money, Stanley Rosenthal realized that selling the guests' internal organs through the Black-Market could make a profit. He decided to place the would-be-dead bodies in suspended animation, medicating them to keep them alive as long as possible. The organs then would be offered to the highest bidder. Only when his guests became a hollow shell he would put them to death. One thing that Stanly Rosenthal didn't take into consideration was the souls of these bodies. He never considered what they might have to say about his 'Operation'.
