> I think about this one alot. I spent alot of last year tending to relatives as they got sick and died and it made me really conscious about what *I* would want. I have since created a living will and designated the person who will make decisions for me based upon it.

Sorry about your relatives. That must have been difficult for you. I can only imagine...

> For me personally the words unbearable and temporary would never go together. If I'm guaranteed that it's temporary (a recovery, or rehab phase) then I can endure alot. I think chronic pain is truly unbearable because there is a huge difference between existing and living.

I think I'm with you on the chronic pain, but then again I don't know if it would be unbearable because I don't have it right now.

> I think there are many cases where I support the right to choose death. However, I'm not pro-suicide, or anti-psychiatry or anything like that.

Me too.

> I don't know if it's so healthy, but when it comes to me suffering mentally I say, if I'd give my life for them, then I'll suffer through living it too.

Right now I would say I would endure mental suffering, but then again I'm not suffering mentally at the moment...

> Usually my conscience anchors me in the world of the living, but I don't think I'd endure physical torture for ANYONE. Maybe that sounds harsh. Maybe it's something you can only decide on once your living through it. I'm not sure. *sigh*

Luckily, physical torture is extremely unlikely.

> Deneb, this is a heavy subject. I'm with Phillipa for being curious about what got you thinking of this. Are you alright?

I'm fine. Just a typical day pondering life and death. LOL
