if you became seriously disabled

[IggyB]

if you had lost the use of all your limbs and had your breathing regulated mechanically for you would you wish to continue living?

Can I talk, hear, see and think rationally?

[saxy_jag]

If I knew there was no hope of recovery on the assisted breathing front, then no, I wouldn't.

i think its very hard to talk about "quality of life" when you have what you percieve to be a good one, its very easy to say you wouldn't accept less, however about 8 years ago i was suddenly disabled by an ongoing illness. I was 24 at the time, and couldn't imagine a life without partying, drinking, being able to jump in the car and go where you want, working extra when you need money etc - and i would have said i wouldnt want it (who would??!) However, while ive lost those aspects of my life, ive learned to appreciate others, and while others might look and think ive lost quality of life, or in fact have a low quality of life, i wouldnt agreee now! (although i probably would have before i was in that position!)

No chance, i wouldnt even be able to cross my fingers in hope of recovering !.

I feel suffocated staying if I stay indoors for 2 days in a row, so lying helpless on a bed with a breathing machine would just be unbearable. Definitely not worth living for.

Depends on whether Starsailor were going to make another album or not and before you say it, Ill get in there with if one was to be made, I would want to live to hear it just as I if was in that situation tomorrow I would hag on till Novermaber to see the new Boosh series.

I couldnt live like that, dont think I could cope with the loss of one limb, let alone all that. if I had no feelings in my limb I would let everyone batter them though.

[Pippa68]

No.

thanks for the answers everyone - much appreciated all... and a good point made by bednobs there i think - though i would still tend also to veer towards the no vote at this stage

[BIGDOGY]

no!
