I would try my best to live with it until i go away, 2 of my family members have done this, and i think i would myself.
I truly wouldn't, I would live through life the best I could.
I'd smoke and inject so much weed to hope it'd cure me
single and lonely with no kids? sure. otherwise, no i wouldnt want to
I would live with it. I don't think I would ever have the guts to take my own life, sounds scary! But at the same time, if I were a vegetable and I was just a hassle and making life x100 harder for everyone that would have to take care of me I would feel very guilty. I think if I were told I have a year to live I would have to go exploring or something rather than take my own life.
I wonder if people saying they'd stay has anything to do with not believing in a Heaven or afterlife? I can imagine if you don't believe in a Kingdom of Heaven (or Hell) after death then the thought of the complete end - which will come to all of us - must be quite scary so I can see why people would want to hold on.
I would probably keep going. May as well go down in a blaze of glory than end it too soon, as I feel like suffering a bit means I am stronger than not suffering at all. It all depends on if I have family or if I am alone, like @buttons said. That said, people do crazy things when they're ill. I could probably just kill myself with a cocktail of drugs if I was really bad and desperate. Going to Switzerland or other countries is a lot of hassle and causes too much of a media circus for something that ought to be private. Usually they target friends and family suggesting they assisted, which is not fair at all.
I'm not sure if I'm reading this the wrong way or what, but I would disagree that dying of a terminal illness is "going down in a blaze of glory".Quote:

Yes you did read it wrong. I would rather suffer than end it too soon. The blaze of glory is an exaggeration which shouldn't need to be read into :PQuote:
