Umm I would have to be kept on the machine for however long it takes Walt to uh you know. Then I want to be taken off life support.
If you mean like Terri Schiavo who was not only brain dead, but her brain had atrophied - then by all means, pull the fucking plug h
if theres no chance of me coming back, kill me. if im in permanent pain but can't speak, kill me. if im going to be dependent on others for everything for the rest of my life, kill me. if im horrificlly disfigured, kill me. no point in living if theres no happiness.
the mind is the soul's interface to the body, and the brain is the 'hardware' it runs on, so if my body was litterally and perminently "brain dead, i, in no sense that makes any sense that i can see, would not, in any way shape or manor, be there. i, am not my body, but the awairness that occupys it. i just don't see how, i could or would, be even able to do so, without the means of doing so, a physically functional brain. so, if nobody is ever going to be home again, what's the point of keeping the lights on? now if it were just a matter, an extremely frightning and frustrating matter, of just not being able to communicate, note being able to tell anyone you are there, now that's a different matter. but in that case, i think unambiguously there would be, not neccessarily anything you could observe in the body, but unambiguously to any sort of actualy monitoring of the brain itself, you know all the electrical and chemical activity of a brain being very much not dead at all. and in that case, i would of course what every effort humanly possible to be made to re-provide my awairness with some means of comunicating with this world. but you see, that's two different things, if there's chemical and electrical activity going on in the physical brain, then in no way is it dead. only if there absolutely and totally isn't, well then again we get back to that then there really isn't any way for ME to be there. and if an awairness isn't there, then it's just a piece of meat. =^^= .../\... =^^= .../\...
Hopefully I'll die because they'll be removing my heart, liver and other stuff for people who would need it more than I would. Just say no to life support, kids. And stay in school
is freezing me till they can grow brains out of stem cells an option. I want my own organ farm to have picnics in until I need it, then its harvested
It depends on who is paying the electric bill of these machines. If it's not me - keep me going and install an electric vagina on my pecker.
If there's absolutely no hope of my ever coming around, and my existance was merely due to the result of machines keeping me alive, my presence being only that of a vegetative state, well, I've already told my husband to pull the plug.
if i were braindead, i don't think i would really care if they kept me on life support or not... on the other hand, i'm all for killing dead threads..
