Death/Dying

I'd gladly give myself up to science in the hope for immortality or transference into some sort of digital medium where I can exist as a cybernetic being for hundreds/thousands of years, as long as there is a good chance of survival through the procedure...

Life is too short. And I promise not to take over the world. :p

Live life to the fullest every day¬! Regardless of what that means to you whether it be playing games/streaming etc or having family BBQ's/parties.

Who knows what lifeline they will have so enjoy.

Am I scared of dying? Yes, because I have amazing friends but it's all part of life
 
Dying is scary as it might be painful. As for being dead, I think Mark Twain said it best:

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

For me it's not the pain of dying etc, its the nothingness afterwards.

It doesn't really scare me but it weirds me out thinking the fact there is nothing once I pop it. No conscious etc just pure nothing. That said I'll be dead so won't give a flying hoot :D

My GF caught the end of a program about how expensive funerals are the other evening which prompted her to ask what would I like done. My reply 'Do what you like with me, I'm dead, I really won't be that bothered' :D For me at the moment I really don't care what happens to my body after I die and I guess if there is anything or someone who could benefit from a bit of me then that's what my body should be used for. Recycle me :D Maybe that view will change as I get older?
 
I'm of the opinion that funerals are a waste of money too. I've told my family to just cremate the body and dispose of it in the cheapest way possible. Money in my bank that would have been used to cover an expensive funeral can be split between a massive booze up and a nice windfall for my nieces and nephews instead. :)

Been there, done that. In a lot of ways I'd have been better off being left dead as it wiped out a lot of great things and I lost a lot. I'll never be the same mentally and physically.
But on the other hand now since they brought me back I want to embrace things more and don't accept half measures. I spend a lot of my time disappointed lol.
I just owe it to the medical staff to do something with my life more than ever.

Best answer your question... Lol.
Death = no.
Dying = no.
 
Life is a circle. We are born and die, and death is part of living.
I do not fear death or dying. As long as this happens with dignity.

Hence I do not plan to live "until the very end". No. The moment I will not be able to look after myself, and life is start taking from me, I will die with dignity.

The remnants, if happened to die from accident and my organs are worthy, would go to other people. Everything else left, and science doesn't want, going to be burned and part of that, converted to diamonds.

And even if I am 40 this year, already arranged the plans. Hence I feel free from the stupidity of "fearing death".

She must have asked for a DNAR.

Not always. When my mum had cancer she was approached and asked whether she'd like to sign a DNAR for with no prompting from her at all. This was quite early days and she did not sign it at that point in time.
