For me #1 is easy. Screw writing and reading, instead travel around the word, jump from planes, swim with sharks and die in months. 100% better then daily visit

For me #1 is easy. Screw writing and reading, instead travel around the word, jump from planes, swim with sharks and die in months. 100% better then daily visits to a hospital for a handful of years.
What I, and a lot of people like me, are doing now by not doing #1 is gambling we'll get to do it in the future. This is an easily lost gamble, but oh well.
- marquis 15y agoThat sounds great but dying doesn't leave you with a lot of energy to do these things for long.
- bh42222 15y agoI think the point is that the treatment leaves you with a ton less energy and hunger and power, etc. Otherwise there really is no point in skipping the treatment.

- Enterprize1 15y agoI think dhughes made a point here. I would choose option 2 not only because I have a chance to live longer, but also because there might be a treatment for my illness, which will be discovered in the future.
- bh42222 15y agoIf the treatment allowed you to live over a decade longer then you could live long enough to get another treatment option, this has been true about AIDS drugs. But if the treatment allowed me to live over a decade longer I'd also choose the treatment even if there was no chance of a new cure. If the treatment only allows you two or so extra years, unless something is already in the late stages of coming to market, there is just no way any kind of drug or therapy for humans will get through even the earliest stages of approval in that kind of time frame.
