I feel like this is trying too hard. I was mostly okay with it until i got to the heart dropping out of the bottom, and then it completely lost me.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-663.
Perhaps s/he could change it to something like "expels a chunk of tissue, which examination has thus far revealed to be that of a human (kidney/liver) in a state consistent with recent death from severe dehydration?" Something unrecognizable at first sight, maybe chunked so it'd fit into the filter, but that actually has something to do with filtration. And you might still hear the pulse if it was, say, a spatially displaced coring of some living person's liver/kidney/whatever. Kidney would fit best, but I like liver, if only because it's harder to identify at first glance. Unless you're fairly familiar with the appearance of the human liver, in which case you go, "Hey, who put a chunk of human liver in my water filter?"
I'd lean more towards kidney, since that organ is primarily for filtering, although a chunk of dried liver would be harder to recognize at first, since the tissue is almost completely homologous (if I'm spelling that right, it's late and I'm starting to lose my vocabulary), a chunk of dried liver would look the same as a dense synthetic sponge, or a compressed mass of fibers.
Now that discussion on this SCP has been resurrected by necromancy, I would like to address its classification. This is either safe or needs something mentioned as to why it's euclid. Conjecture as to where the voices/hearts come from, perchance?
I think the idea is that it chooses an actually person and shoves them into another dimension where they need water or something.
EDIT: Ergo it's killing random people, hence Euclid classification until they can stop it from killing.
I got that implication but it should probably be noted somewhere.
It would be simpler if it simply made noises and hearts, rather than teleporting someone and recording them, then coring their hearts. By Occam's Razor then, the Foundation would just assume that it's a noisy and somewhat messy water filter rather than a teleporting killing machine.

This article is up for review. Please check it out, it could use more attention.
There's just not that much here, it's a water filter that acts like a dying man when it isn't given water or whatnot. Kinda reminds me of the cactus I wrote, except this one doesn't really add anything to the dying ghost formula. Like Bland said, this really feels like an anomalous object that was made into a full SCP. The heartbeat thing is an interesting strand of logic that the rest of the article sadly fails to utilize at all.
Also, those containment procedures are ludicrous.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
All of this.

This freaked me right the hell out. I love it and I upvoted, but I have a few questions.
lacking a serial number and appearing slightly different from other models produced by █████.
How does it appear different? That seems an oversight.
It appears to be capable of filtering any water-bearing solution into clean and drinkable water, near completely deionized
Would sound better as "with near complete deionization".
There seems to be no pattern to the selection of voices by SCP-663, but they have thus far corresponded to the heart eventually found in the container.
How does a voice correspond to a heart?
SCP-663 is to be kept in the second floor break room at Site 19.
this was written back in 2009, when "let's have the Foundation use this anomalous thing with no concern about what side effects it might have" was the mindset.
This is a water purifier which tortures humans to death as an essential component of the process of generating drinkable water, and which cannot be shut off. I can see how there's a certain symbolism to it, but it does not make sense for the Foundation to keep this item in the break room for everyone to use as a source of drinking water.
I'm not sure this qualifies as Euclid class as it is written, but I do really love the idea that the filter somehow uses up an individual as part of it's process. I think that there needs to be a more dire consequence to leaving it dry in order to justify the class. For example, what if the number of voices increased? Or it started producing the voices of SCP personnel, giving them nightmares of drowning/dehydration?
