Would you kill yourself if you got a seriousl incurable disease?

It's kind of like you're saying, "you can't fire me - I QUIT!"

I'd spend every minute drunk off my ass, obviously never even showing up for work again. No call, no 2 weeks, just not showing up again.

And if I was healthy enough still I would book some cool vacations like a safari in Africa or crocodile hunting in Australia. Then, if it was cancer, or some other disease where I then started wasting away and looked like a walking corpse, I would eat a bullet.

Unless, it was a 100% fatal disease that caused me great pain and suffering, I wouldn't end my life.

I think I probably would, especially if I was infirm and had no quality of life. I'd rather be dead than have to depend on someone else and be a burden. I also beieve in euthenasia if a peson wants to die because they have no quality of life then their wishes should be respected. Let's face it if an animal gets sick we say it's cruel to keep them alive so why is it different for people. xxx

Losing my eyesight or becoming paralyzed would be the deal breakers. Something like cancer or HIV though, you're going to die anyway so you might aswell just ride it out.

Never going to give up on life

I think you'd be surprised how hard people people fight to stay alive. Consider chemotherapy for cancer, it makes people terribly sick and often their hair falls out - but still they keep having the treatment. Few of us have to die in pain anymore, with the help of pain relieving drugs.

Fuck no!! I'd kill other people.

Not right away for sure. People can live long and relatively healthy lives with HIV these days. Even if I had incurable cancer I wouldn't kill myself right away. I'd probably continue living and trying to enjoy life until it got to the point where it was no longer worth living. Then I would try to end it.

I`d definately kill myself if I had alzheimers, or terminal cancer, because I couldn`t take the suffering & indignity that these diseases inflict.

I'd do everything and anything I ever fucking wanted on my last week

There might be a cure for hiv soon, I read in the news not long ago. So nope

I would want to kill myself but it's said that I will go to hell if I commit suicide.. so instead I'd live a risky life full of rock climbing, sky diving, white water rafting without a helmet haha and if that didn't work out then I'd pray to god that I got hit by a bus or something.

The truth is, nobody knows full well what they're capable of until confronted with similar situations.
Nothing goes the way we imagine unless we he have an experience to look back on.

My brother always brings up this situation and says that he would. I wouldn't, because I'd want to use the time I have left to do the things that matter the most to me.

If i had an incurable disease & i was alone in this world i would probably kill myself, but i'm not alone i could never do that to my mother & brother & to really think of it suicide is for cowards it's such a selfish decision too why not fight until the end coz either way you're gonna die, A good way to go would be surrounded by the people who love you not your mother findin your lifeless body in the bathroom or wherever whicheve way you do the deed

I think I'd rather try to do as many "important" things as possible in the time I have left. Unless of course the disease doesen't allow me to do anything (including talking). But then I couldn't kill myself anyway.

You can always die, wheter you're sick or not. And you will die eventually.

The French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, apparently had pulmonary aliment and he ended up committing suicide by jumping out of his apartment window. I'm yet to read his works, but that is a pretty brave way to go out. I'd probably kill myself, but I'd have to give up my fears in order to do it.

I'd just enjoy the remainder of my life. The worst part would be living past the day you were supposed to die. It would just be like "any minute now..." and I'd be in a constant state of depression/paranoia. Before that happens though I'd enjoy life the best I could and get laid a lot... unless it was HIV :(

A bunch of other people on my blacklist first.....then myself.

honestly, HIV is not the worst disease you can have.

I choose no. People with "serious incurable diseases" probably appreciate life the most.

Hell Naw I wouldn't kill myself can't no disease stop me from doing Wateva God got planned for me .Shyt u cud get that Shyt today then in a few years they might release the cure ....have hope for yourself

Well no, that's absolutely silly!

We're all gonna die anyways. Who knows, we could die at any time, be it tomorrow, next week, next month, or years.

It's gonna come to an end somehow.

So why does it matter if you find out you'll die soon? Life's short anyways.

Live it up while you have it so you can look back and be thankful for all the memories you had the privilege to experience.

As soon as I found out? Definitely not. I would definitely consider it when the disease progressed to the point where I could no longer enjoy life, and I might go as far as making preperations for when that time came. But until then, a terminal illness sounds like a great excuse to live for the moment. It's possible that living for the moment might involve some dangerous, borderline "suicidal" things. But to actually intentionally kill myself while I still have some enjoyable time left doesn't make sense to me.

It's definitely something to ponder. I don't like the prospect of dying in abject pain later on...

I thought about if I became blind I'd kill myself, but actually thinking about it I probably wouldn't. I would find a way to make it work...though I hate relying on people. I would get a Great Dane and ride it around. Someone would teach it how to get to certain places by command so I'd just tell it where to go and it'd take me...and I'd have someone teach it what my things look like (credit cards etc.) so I can just tell it what to get me! hahaha. I'd probably get another one trained to follow and protect me as a body guard incase anyone tried to steal my shit or trip me.

I might think about it, but as for actually doing it, I don't know. I've never been the suicidal type, and I just can't say for sure if I'd actually be able to go through with it or not...

I'd off myself only when my organs were being attacked from the disease. I want to donate my organs before they're unusable.

If it is a disease where im going to suffer a lot probadly if its something where i nearly cant feel it or maybe not feel it at all then mehh...

if it was HIV i probably would. because if you have it, you're going to die anyway. i think it would be better to die before the disease itself kills you, because from what i've heard, it's pretty horrible.

God can take me when he wants.
