I think I only really have an "answer" (in that I think I know how I would handle this personally) for the last one. The second one doesn't really bother me at all (when I realize the second one I actually just feel kind of free, at least most of the time), but the first one haunts me on an intermittent basis. I don't have the answer to that one. > - How do you deal with the likelihood that you will suffer greatly at some point in the future, whether it be from cancer, or some other disease? How does a day of 9-5 work, capped off with a horrible prolonged cancer treatment at the end of your life, not corrupt your mind? When I feel that the great suffering has begun and there is nothing more to look forward to (hopefully when I'm very old, but can be at any point), I will opt for assisted suicide. I don't think I'm afraid of death, but of dying in pain. If I have the opportunity to make that choice, I plan on doing it. On the other hand I do not want to die in general and am also open to trying whatever methods of life extension are available to me as long as the suffering does not outweigh the state of being alive.
