Some of the disabled and elderly have a hard time lifting themselves off a toilet seat. Why not manufacture a mechanical lever or electric device that would lift the back of the toilet seat slowly so that they can finish up easier? I think malls could use such a toilet to attract elderly customers

There are products like this available, such as the Tush Push. Silly though it may sound, people die every year from falling off of toilets.
