Wonder if there's a spin cycle. Ha.

Seriously though. This should really help the elderly or those with a physical limitation.

If it works like the washing machine in Gattaca, there is a neat risk that it doesn't end well.

I recommand to watch this -now old- movie by the way

    Kinda muddy on the idea behind the showers. I read somewhere that they weren’t really about killing the occupant, but it was suggested that it might be a reference to the furnaces used in the Nazi death camps in WW2 and the eugenics associated with the Nazis.
