The Alien Healing Device is a device that has the ability to transfer the life force from one being to another, and is featured in three episodes of the science fiction TV series Babylon 5.
The alien healing device (referred to in some references as the "lifegiver"; this may not have any canonical basis) was created by an unknown race, and was originally used as a form of capital punishment on the world it was created on. The device had the ability to transfer life force from one living being to another, as capital punishment it would be used to completely drain the life force of a murderer to a mortally wounded victim, thus killing the murderer and using his life force to restore his victim to full health, working under the "an eye for an eye" philosophy.
In the series, the device is first used by a Dr. Laura Rosen, who had determined that she could safely transfer small amounts of her own life force into patients. When attacked by an escaped mass murderer demanding to be healed of plasma burns, she reversed the connections, killing the mass murderer while curing herself of a terminal, degenerative disease. In disgust for what she had done, she turned the machine over to Dr. Stephen Franklin.
It is later used by Dr. Franklin and John Sheridan to heal Michael Garibaldi, who is in a coma, during the first couple of episodes of season two.
Finally, towards the end of season four, Marcus Cole uses the device to heal the mortally wounded Susan Ivanova, at the expense of his own life. His last words to her are "I love you."
