Would you like to have a terminal illness?

If you couldn't die, then injuries would be meaningless and drugs would be completely safe. You would eventually do everything you could and then what? You're immortal and can't die or grow old etc.

Enter Michael Jackson ...

After a few millennia, I might get bored. That's why I said I'd still want to be able to kill myself. I wouldn't die unless it was my choice...

Also, regarding your comment that "Being mortal makes life more fun": Spending my whole life worrying about death is not fun. Not having to worry about death would make it a lot easier for me to enjoy myself.

Whats every one talking about death for
Who wants to die..
I certainly dont fantasise bout death
Not of myself anyway
Im on Wrong Planet Wrong Planet Right?
Wrong

You guys obviously haven't seen OZ.

Anyways as for the question, actually yes I have thought it would be nice to be pampered and be at the center of attention while having a terminal illness. Also, everyone to show how much they really care for and love you. It's so much easier to do when someone's dying. So yes, I have thought it'd be a nice way to go, but then again, I'm weird.

But perhaps your so-called morality is something the founding fathers of your religion dreamed up to serve their own interests in a well defined set of situations. It's also worth noting that you are incorrect in assuming that the purpose of a non-absolute morality is to serve personal interests. It's not.

I've been in a hospital enough times that I never want to be sick enough to go there again, thank you very much. Medical personnel have been far from compassionate and cooperative with me, sometimes directly going against my wishes in how I was treated or ignoring vital needs like food and sleep. Furthermore, unless you have one of the well-known disorders that everyone feels sorry for, people really aren't much nicer about physical disabilities or illnesses than they are about mental ones. Also, when you're sick, you find out who your true friends really are... sometimes painfully. Some people hover over you and are there every minute of every day for you, true (which can be a blessing or a curse...), but other people are afraid, and distance themselves from you, even if all you wanted was their support. Not to mention that surgical and other medical treatments are far from pleasant experiences. Going months at a time with the thing I most look forward being the next dose of pain medicine isn't my idea of how I want to leave this world. Ugh. Never again, please.

When I go, I just want to go in my sleep, or otherwise not even see it coming, let alone feel any pain. I've had plenty enough of medical issues for one lifetime, and the last thing I see in my life better damn well not be the accoutrement of a hospital.

I don't want anything to effect me physical. I already have a weird brain.

I have this fear of illness I would never want an illness no matter what I would gain in the short amount of time I have the illness.

Now, about OZ? Are you talking Wizard of Oz OZ or OZ as in Australia?
I guess Wizard of Oz OZ could be like a designer prison but what about all those weird wicked witches running around everywhere spoiling everything? I want perfection in my prison there simply cannot be a wicked witch inside or I can't stay. The slippers look nice.

0_0 No, no actually I was referring to the show OZ. It's about people in a really rough prison. It came on HBO.

I already have a terminal disease more than likely. Trust me being terminal is not fun. It is a lot of pain and suffering and everything. A lot of ttermianl diseases are gradual agonizing process.

Yeah - no fun at all.

LUCY I like your posts because they are written in that LUCY style that belongs only to you!

oooh that OZ!! ! Definitely not my thing for I am too fragile a person for that. I can't stand hostility, violence, messed up people yelling at me and doing weird things to me like beating me up. It's not my scene.

Warning: quote pyramid reaching critical level.
Forum implosion: imminent. Forum member explosion: possible.


Living in Oz? Well, as long as I'm left alone, I think that would be a pretty darn cool place to be. All those weird people roving around... I'd probably end up in trouble for being friendly with the wrong people unfortnately...

oOo(Wonders if I will be the one exploding?)
