Question of the Day, Tue 6/17

No one wants to die. More importantly, no one wants to die a long, sick, unhealthy death. My question today is this:

If you could choose your own "manner of death" what would it be?

Car Accident, It's quick and 'you don't know what hit ya'. I've been in a bad accident before and did realize how bad it was for over an hour.

To go in my sleep when it's finally time.

Just go to sleep and never wake up.
But since I was a little girl I have had dreams of being stabbed to death, so maybe that's how I will go.

I've always told my husband if the doc's ever find anything serious wrong with me that an operation can't fix; I don't want to know about it.

Every one on my fathers side of the family has died of cancer, and I have never known anyone get better. The treatment makes what left of ones life a living hell. I have also given my doctors these same instructions. I wanna live in ignorant bliss for the rest of the days that I may have left.

Frank: A good cop - needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums.

Ed: No way for a man to die.

Frank: No... you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.



Couldn't help myself......

I remember what my father said: "I want to be shot by your mother when she catches me in bed with another woman, when I'm 100 yrs. old". Sounds like a plan to me.

Helium suicide

That's painless and easy, and the best part is that I get to choose when the time is right.

"Tax Guy" beat me to the quote and wins the prize with the Frank Drebinism...and because I have the same warped sense of humor in a generally humorless area, I now wonder if I have a missing twin brother out there somewhere....If I had to have an original response I am sure it would involve a massive heartattack (yak-yak) while watching Annette Benning and Scarlett Johansson compete for my love and affection while atop a chocolate cookie mountain with vodka waterfalls-you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

I am living this question in reality.Yesterday,I packed a bag for my older brother, who is terminally ill.He is now at PRMC.With tears in his eyes, he said that if he had a gun he would end it now.He knows the outcome and why prolong the process.
I believe that assisted suicide should be legal.

For some reason, everything I see/read/hear has a relevant pop culture reference. It's just how I roll.

I want to die in the arms of the one person who loves me/and I love the most in this world looking directly into thier eyes, saying goodbye and letting them know everything is going to be alright.

Its about...

LOVE, PEACEFULLNESS, ACCEPTANCE, and THE LAST GOODBYE BETWEEN TWO LOVED ONES.
