Would you prefer toLive or Die when you got incurable disease? (37)

It's really a question of quality of life rather than whether or not the disease is incurable. You can live for many years with an incurable disease but once you loose the quality of life then its time to check out and that decision should be recognized as a fundamental human right.

With an incurable disease, you looking at your death,in to near or distance future.And you live as long as the disease allow you to live.

I agree with Chriss, if I got an incurable disease, there is no choice for me to live or die .... sooner or later I will die, but I think we must have hope that might make us live longer.

I would be devastated, but would consider my self lucky that I have a chance to get everything in order and say goodbye, spending quality time with my loved ones... Many don't have that

we can't choose the way we leave unless we commit suicide (which is another topic), and stats says that about 80% die from illness, so we should all think of the end and what to do ... before ...live and enjoy life

I agree, its something that should be done anyway.. However, most people don't think about it, because no one wants to think about death. But lives can be taken in an instant

No amount of childhood upbringing, no amount of college education, no number of years and experience in my career can hold a candle to the enlightenment and exciting awe and wonder of the world and universe I gained from my terminal illness. In fact, terminal illness saved my life, in every way. (if you understand, you understand. If you don't, you don't). I want to add this, just for the heck of it: The members on CS are as important to me as any friends, and I am grateful for so many. CS is a real resource for me, and I find that there are so, so many loving and caring people. Yes, it's a little weird that we do not actually "know" one another, yet I feel a kindred spirit with so many. Thank you.

What a fantastic post, Ro. I get it, a different experience but...yep.
You have such a lovely way with words, a pleasure to read. More strength to you, friend

I agree with you Fast_Rich, in the abstract. But it's impossible to predict what I would do in such a situation. The will to live is strong and the hope of a miracle is hard to extinguish.

Depends on the disease. You can have diabetes, crohn's, HIV(or all three!)and lead a normal life these days.
What's sad to see is when people allow manageable conditions to consume who they are by the self-obsession that often comes about when people regard themselves in a noble struggle against sickness. They fail to see that the treatment is there to grant you freedom from sickness, not to sustain you whilst you wallow in your condition.
The best thing is to make light of it, like isn't it funny how the words we use for a successful relationship(serious/longterm)are the same ones we use for terminal illnesses.

Many, if not most, incurable diseases are not a death sentence. A third of the world's population carry the incurable TB germ.
And the prime causes of stigma are the misplaced sympathy of onlookers who don't know what the facts are, and worse than this, people who have a manageable condition that they pretend is terminal(or worse than it is)for the sake of attention, sympathy and some perverted sense of purpose in life. And believe me there are many that do this.

Good point Obs I didn't think of that.
My ex mother in law keeps telling everyone who'll listen that she's constantly dying, she's a drama queen of the highest order and thrives on sympathy from others.------ This poll is Archived ------
