I can't relate to this at all. When I'm dead, I'd like to cease. I have no desire for my brain to outlast my body.

- jddj 8y agoMe either. The comments in this thread to the tune of "anything is better than being dead" actually kind of took me by surprise. I can conceive of a point where technology and society has developed to a place where bodies are replaced after death with something that's worth "living" in again, but that's a long way from wanting to be a brain in a vat purely because it means I'm not technically dead.
- dpcx 8y agoWill you know you're dead though? If they have the technology to bring your brain back, they probably have the technology to make your brain think you're still in your body and you woke up.
- xfitm3 8y agoI'm alive now and my wishes are to not experience this.
- badger_bravo 8y agoAre you though?
- bdamm 8y agoI'm with you. Once dead I'd prefer to stay dead. It's actually a comforting thought to know that my life will end. For me it brings meaning to the life that I do still have.
