Bearly Lethal (w/Adam Sessler)

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

UPDATE: This story is actually FAKE. We were duped. :( A team of Japanese engineers has designed an adorable robotic bear to aid in assisted suicide. Capable of 23 different methods to end a life, including hands that are powerful enough to crush human bone, the SeppuKuma is an all-in-one suicide solution. Special guest Adam Sessler joins Anthony and Jeff to talk about the concept of gentle-looking killing machines, and what form they'd all like for their own personal death robot.
