A recent stoned ponder of mine left me with a qeustion I started asking friends.
And I wanted some opinions of some fellow stoners.

We all one day are going to die. Your death, what your whole life has lead up too, would you like your experience of 'death' to be instant or a longer period of time

Example
Instant: Quick unsuspected bullet killing you instantly
Longer: Being diagnosed with a terminal disease which you will die from
within 3 months

Or you could pick somewhere in between, like an experience that lasted a few hours.
And Im talking about any 'experience' of death you can think up, so if you choose a longer time period you'd be suffering more, but you have time to do things.

If a prolonged dea th could be made pain free, then I would choose prolonged. That way I could tiddy up loose ends, cross a free things off of m todo list and eat a ton of candy.

If a prolonged death involves pain, then I would favor quick. I recenty watched my grandfather slowly waste away and one of my clients die from liver cancer.....both we long and horrible deaths....neither of which I would like to try.

I hope for the quick death. One day I am just clicking along like normal, then BANG! I am dead. I just don't want to burn to death... being impaled would also suck.

I would probably go with a shorter death. I've had relatives that had dragged out deaths and for the last few weeks of their lives they kept praying for God to take them. I don't think I'd wanna be in that boat.

Amusingly, I have never had anyone close die around me, so I guess i can't say much. Either way, you can't avoid a sudden death, whereas some long miserable death from eating too many donuts from donut king and watching too many reruns of the simpsons can be avoided. hey?

If you take the long, drawn-out death, you can get cryogenically frozen until some point in the future when they have a cure for the terminal Simpsons-rerun syndrome!

melanotaenia

except when you get out of cryogenics and find that the simpsons are still producing new episodes, you will probably want to go back to the chamber. In terms of the death thing, both of my grandparents dies over a period of months in the hospital from cancer. Unless I felt no pain, I would want a quick death, get it over with. Maybe in my sleep, so I never actually saw is comin.............

Hall1bd

I would like to have my future told and to see when i was going to die (hopefully instantly) then like four days before i knew i was going to die i would do everything i had always wanted to do, like jump out of an airplane.

Ok, now lets think of it this way.

Your death, being the last feeling youll ever experience, would you that 'experience' to last longer?

Maybe the 'experience' of death could be something very beautiful, an overwhelming feeling youve never thought comprehendable, but just being the last thing you feel before you die, whatever feelings or sensations you get from it, wouldnt you like to experience them to thier full potential?

Cassius

Most of the people that have overwhelming feelings when they're dying describe them as "painful" rather than "beautiful", I'm afraid.
