apropos afterlife etc...I KNOW i do not want to come back as a chicken...life expectancy not good at all..would like to come back as pampered cat...or a turtle on the Gallapolis islands...how about you...?
Why on Earth would one want to come back ? Wasn't once enough ? I'd have to cope with others making existence awkward all over again. And if it was as a non-human species I came back as then the added stress of trying to survive in a situation where nature is raw in tooth and claw. Maybe there's a nice civilised alien species, somewhere out there in the universe, that's worth being.
