Ideal torture machine: The Anatomizer

+0
−0

I have read in a book review of "Fallen Angels" that a high-tech torture machine, which "administers drugs and medical attention while busy cracking teeth, flaying skin and breaking bones" and "renders one's anatomy and is henceforth called "The Anatomizer"" used for "ritual punishment" is described in the book.

The dictator of my fictional country just read the book and is impressed by the idea of an advanced medical torture device - he has long become bored by "too humane" execution methods such as boiling alive.

Your task is:

  • to design a device which:

    • slowly tortures a human to death while
    • causing maximal suffering
    • prolonging and intensifying the suffering using advanced medical methods or drugs with the intent to keep the subject alive for as long as possible, ideally for several hours or even days
    • gradually deconstructing the subject's body (e.g. removing fingers, gouging eyes, flaying skin, removing internal organs, etc...)
    • adapts to the anatomy and the body parameters of the subject, automatically "hand-tailoring" a torture program
    • can be used for open-air public execution events
    • runs autonomously but can also be operated manually by an executioner

By "advanced medical technology" I mean anything that can be developed within the next 20-30 years; nanotechnology is permitted to a certain extent, but machines that don't rely on it are encouraged. Computer use is encouraged.
