hawkflame 3,310 January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 As much as possible while not remaining in poverty. Im a bit torn on this, though. On one hand, I like the iddea of me defying my fate by taking the extra year, giving me some control over an uncontrollable situation. On the other hand, I feel like it'll just make things more difficult for my family. 1 Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Sine 492 January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Well to be honest, i would rather take the death. Why? Because in the 18 years i've been alive, the days i've endured, the opportunities that for me i've been fortunate to have....Two loving parents with stable income, a home; i have a lot to be thankful for, and to have lasted this long and to meet so many people, i have no reason to only extend my life temporary only to end back in the same position. In this life, i've seen some of the wonders that earth has to offer; The sciences, furry animals, mother nature, ponies... I'm lucky to have made it this far and i'm not going to stop now.

IcyHaze 594 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Anything. One final year? That's a year that you do all that you possibly can, even if you get killed in the process. Have to spend all your money? Take what you can, go hiking. See the world. Live in the open. So waht if you die? It's going to happen anyway. I hope some people get the joke ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousSMALL 1,984 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 If I'm terminally ill then let me go ahead and die anyways, screw that, I don't want to live another year of being sick as hell. Just delaying the inevitable so no point in lingering and wasting resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spits 71 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 As long as I'm healthy and have the mental capacity for plotting and planning things it means everything to me. But should I be incapacitated for any reason, then life would probably become a huge burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles 2,512 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Well... It looks like I'm going to be the first to mention this.Merely judging by the context of the situation described in the OP, because there is no mention as to how the person would be giving you another year of life... It sounds like it may be an offering from a demon in disguise; a temptation from the devil; dark magic. Of course if that were the case I would laugh, say a prayer, and let the Lord carry on his plan for me.However, in an alternative situation where the person turned out to be just someone offering medication to give me another year... my answer to the OP would be very different:I'm a very emotional person, as well as an emotionally attached person... In this hypothetical situation, having already been told I was to die soon, and then being offered a chance to extend my life for a year... I would give as much as I could. Likely, "as much as I could" would be half of my monetary worth. I... wouldn't bat an eye in doing so, either. I am too close to the people who love me... Being able to have that much more time would allow me... more time with my parents, family, friends... [and] it would allow me time to prepare. Some people say that they would say no to the offer because it's just another year to let the emotions occur, and whatnot, making it seem like a painful waiting game - and that they'd rather it just be over then, and not extend their time. But me? Not even close. I would want to have those feelings, no matter how much it might hurt emotionally. The fact is, when a person becomes consciously aware that they don't have much time left, they can decide to hide everything, or they can decide to face it all, and be as honest and truthful about all that they could be. Or, I guess, they could just pretend they don't know and keep living as they always were doing.If you know me at all, here... you are more than aware of the humble honesty I stand for. But as it may be true, that "Miles" is an honest man... The person sitting at this computer right now may not always be the most honest person in real life. And no, I don't mean that I'm a liar in real life, I mean I just don't always say what's on my mind, I keep it to myself, shuttered away... hidden. But the truth is, I have more feelings, more emotions, more thoughts than what I show, in real life. Is it because I'm hiding things purposefully, ashamed of them? Not necessarily. It's because I'm just shy. When I created my account here, I created an alias that... well... was only really an alias for one thing. My actual name. Other than that, there may as well be no alias, because I soon found that I can talk - well, type - here... and say what I want to. Say what I feel, what I believe in.I want that in real life, so much. But fret not, I am not a depressed person, not in the slightest. While it may be the case that I find it hard to truly be myself in real life, there are more important things to worry about. And so, I don't let it bother me too much. But nonetheless, I am a hidden person, a shy guy, in real life. To have more time... I would, individually, find every person who meant something to me and affected my life, in whatever way it may be - in person or online - and I would tell them... tell them how much they meant to me. And how thankful I was for them to have been a part of my life. Struggle as I may to find the courage to do so, I would do it. Through paths obstacled with lost connections... Nothing would stop me....At least, that's what I think right now. What I say, now, healthy, and not anywhere near the situation as described in the OP. What I say, albeit my true thoughts from my heart... as I sit in my room, at my desk, on my computer.I ask myself, if I really would be able to do that, in the given situation. And the answer is anything but definitive; I don't know. I can't know. Because the me that would be in that situation might not think in the same way that I am thinking right now.But I can say that I do know I would use my time wisely. I have no doubt I would at the very least, try, and do the best I could to do what would need doing. ---A man of usually few spoken words, I have a mind always full of things to say. The hardest part sometimes... is actually saying them. And even more, I might find it just as hard to find the right words to say. Luckily, just knowing that in itself - knowing your weaknesses - is half of being able to use your strengths.All in sum, to once more answer the question...If I was offered medication to extend my life for a year, at a time when I had believed my time was running out... I wouldn't think twice. There is nothing worth more in this world than love, and so I would give all I could give in order to have more time to have that love.Honestly,Miles 2 ~ Rise And Rise Again, Until Lambs Become Lions ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koukatsu 5,899 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 If you're thinking that this is some depressing or introspective post, it's not. Anyways, suppose you have a terminal illness, and someone comes up,to you and offers you another year of life. How much would you be willing to pay? Depends on what year it is. If there are no good games coming out before I die... Meh. I had a near death experience. While I'm not going to try to die, I've already made my peace with death, and will have no regrets when that time comes. <_< I'm one of the worst people you could have to answer this question, sorry bud.

Lunatic Cake 1,618 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 Living to me is worth as much as death so yeah, I'll accept my death whenever it may come, I don't want to live longer than I'm supposed to or even be immortal, now that would be a curse.

Overdrive 5,366 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 A Klondike Bar To me, living is priceless. As much as death is one of the few certainties in life, living doesn't equate to any amount. It's an unobtainable value. There's so much to see and experience in life, that I wouldn't give it up for anything. "I'd rather trust and regret, than doubt and regret."

FancyHorse 1,209 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 The way it is looked in my opinion, there is no set value based on life. In a simple comparison to an economy, life has it's cycles between time periods: it has it's up's and down's. The good times can last briefly or quite awhile, same for the bad times too. Value can fluctuate but the important factor is that life has value no matter it's price. If there's even a chance loophole of joy or satisfaction (which there always can be) then the value is worth living. (fun fact: Did you know that human life technically can have a value price? Currently the average human life costs around 7.2 million in USD.) Do stick around Darling, I could use the company~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
