Hi,

How incredibly morbid.

Dying is like defeacating: necessary, happens to everyone and probably
not worth spending a lot of time thinking about. Living, on the other
hand, is.

Thinking about one's death and it's circumstances when not actually
faced with the prospect seems overly self involved.

There has been a  lot of   mails about where each lives and where one would
like to die...but I want to post the question, WHEN would you (ideally) like
to die? At what age? At what point would you feel that you had done/achieved
enough? Do you believe in euthanasia? How would it be implemented, if so?
Would you want your body/brain  preserved it fhat could be done for free?

I am that stage right now. I have a lot of interests and am happy almost
every day of my life; but I was reflecting that  if I had to die in a day or
two (obviously I would like to die without any suffering or ill-health!) I
would not mind going ..I am not the type who wants to hang around for my
offspring or the grandchild-that-might-be...am pretty curious to know
whether, if death really approraches, I would stil maintain my keenness to
experience it, or I would fear it. Would I rush around trying to tie up
loose ends?

Many of you on Silk are very young...do you think about death? If so, what
do you think about your own? Am very interested in your thoughts...


Deepa.
