[Avodah] pump toilet

[mcohen at touchlogic.com]

...How many people do you think would find it as kavod habriyot and not walk up the stairs to use the bathroom without it?
 
of course the heter of kavod habriyot does NOT apply to walking up the stairs.
 
i guess your question concerns not very frum people.who would ignore explicit instructions not to use the electric bathroom unless they can't wait any longer, and no other bathroom is available.
 
is that your question?
 
as per read the link i sent from RSM

..1. How does a (visiting the hospital) family member use bathroom lights, toilets and sink taps that are controlled by an electric eye, when there is no other option?

The person accompanying the patient should find a manually-operated bathroom in another part of the hospital, and may even directly ask a non-Jew to open the electric door in order to exit the unit. If this is not an option, the person may use the electric bathroom facilities in the way permitted for the patient.
