Seems rather long and drawn out, potentially even bordering on torturous. I'd much rather go with nitrogen or barbituates. Check out The Peaceful Pill handbook for an overview of other options. And please make sure to have these conver

Wouldn't they be making their NDA useless by having such a broad scope applied? I thought your contract had to be somewhat sensible for it to stand up in court.

I could see these for some niche markets similar to Segway. Personally, when I want to walk faster I jog.
