I would like to make mental health advanced directives that state if I develop any sort of this dementia, which these sorts of things technically are if you aren't born that way, I would like to be euthanized.


You and me both. We can make one another our back-up Executor's should we end up alone in life. ;)

I'd hope that my wishes on that front are clear. Hell, a lot of days I don't even want to wait for dementia. I know my parents wouldn't want to call that shot but I think they'd do it eventually. My mom had to do it for her dad.

I'm with you guys on this. I want euthanized for just about anything that seriously drops my functionality. Dementia, loss of limb(s), incurable disease, etc.

1. Male vs Female
2. Adult vs Child
3. Physician vs Burglar
4. Neurosurgeon vs 5 poor people
5. 5 people who are wealthy vs 5 people who are poor
6. Your husband/wife/kids vs 20 babies
7. A wealthy business owner vs 20 poor people
8. Someone who agrees with your political views vs someone who disagrees with your political views

I already know my choices and they're quite easy for me but I'm interested to know the metric by which our fellow pardians evaluate human lives


1. I would save the male. Males have accomplished more troughout history
2. Depends on age and socioeconomic status of adult. Probably save the child as he will pay more taxes for a longer period of time compared to adult wich is good for society.
3. I would save the physician obviously.
4. I would save the neurosurgeon obviously. He contributes more to society.
5. I would save the 5 wealthy people as they are good for the economy.
6. Most likely my wife (not in a relationship atm)
7. I would save the wealthy business owner aslong as he pay taxes
8. Most likely save the one who agrees with my views but never discuss politics with friends and family.

I'm very pragmatic. I want to live in a safe country with a thriving economy. The ones who contribute more get to live. Simple as that.

The notion that some human lives are worth more than others is ridiculous. This follows the logic of this or that which is the limitation of choice. Which is a fallacy. There is no objective way to prove which life is worth more than others. These philosophy questions are flawed and meant to manipulate the youth into having tunnel vision. I know because I took philosophy in college. If I was given the choice of whether to survive or let the world die, then I choose myself. Subjectively, I am worth more than anyone and everyone, past, present, and future. Objectively, I am just another mass of atoms in some kind of harmony. There is no real fucking difference.
