Its like death note, but instead of names and face, you have to touch them.

So you can’t just simply google names of dictators (that would be a very boring c/AskLemmy thread), gotta be creative with this ability.

    OP is saying that they would probably initially find takers in the form of terminal patients seeking euthanasia. But since the question asker stated that you can choose the timing and cause of death, then it follows that you can cause anyone to live as long as (naturally) possible. Once word got out, you could make a killing guaranteeing long lives.

      It said they were helping cheat death for a few years, so not a euthanasia take

      theoretically since you are also extending the life unnaturally anyways, even if its just a lifespan why not make them live multiple lifespans, or near biological immortal(but not immune to serious disease)

      I hadn’t considered going straight for euthenasia gigs but that’s an excellent suggestion!

      And you’re right, it says in the question I can choose the time of their death so, yes, according to that I can gift virtual immortality.
