  What if you never wake up? You'll likely never know. You'll either wake up in your afterlife paradise, which doesn't seem so bad, or you'll find out the hard way that that there is no afterlife. In which case, the lights never come back on. Who knows what they're doing to you while you're asleep? Given that there's a room full of people, at least one of which you can count to have some ethics, I imagine they'll just cut you open and fix your problem. What you really need to worry about is them taking off the correct limb.

      Thank you for your contribution to the conversation. I'm sure you'll find that this was covered in the second half of the sentence you quoted.

        I was contrasting against afterlife hell.

          My mistake, thought I was sure what you were going for and failed. Which is too bad, because your reply was kind of clever.

  >> Who knows what they're doing to you while you're asleep Huh? I don't think you really know that the surgery prescription was correct, in that case? Or can you really do anything about an unethical surgeon while awake, but your gut or something wide open?
