The Face Off thread inspired this one. Medical science has made it more and more possible for people to continue to live but they have to be under 24/7 care, and/or on medication without which they would die in hours - maybe days but less than 100 hours. Would you rather go ahead and die or have your existence dragged out as long as possible?
Also if you could see this bleak end coming with enough certainty to convince you, would you pick a time and end it all yourself? _________________

There was a time in my life I could see no point to existence, but a certain lady provided such point!
I now feel that I should survive for as long as possible, even if diagnosed with a terminal illness I would not give up.
However, I would like the choice to give up if I so chose. Perhaps if Helly had passed on and I was dependant on pills every couple of hours to survive, or something. _________________
