    Not peacefully, no. But instantaneous death beats a lot of the other variations of unconscionable suffering visited upon factory farm animals.

    A human would be aware of what is happening, and the size difference would mean you would need a much larger machine than that to instantaneously destroy an entire person. But if you had to choose between instantaneous obliteration and a slow, torturous existence, some people might actually choose the instant death.

      I don’t get this “it could have been worse” mentality. Somebody dies of cancer we don’t say “well at least they weren’t waterboarded and gang raped! Lucky them!”
