Quote from Damian

You wouldn't remember those communities, GT. Those three years you live as a new person.

I meant that I wouldn't pick the surgery, that I way I can remember why I have so much to live for and mourn my wasted dreams.

Quote from Hewitt

This forum is notorious for worming their way out of shit.

When Envoy says immediately, he doesn't need to stress how immediate that is. You should respect the idea of the scenario or it's pointless. This is pretty much like that debate thread about saving the girl or flagging the vehicle; everyone is coming up with these crazy-ass third options that aren't relevant to the question.

What about us who picked an option and got a favorable resolution? :rolleyes:

But I'm sticking with the mind wipe. I'm fine with metaphorically dying, compared to actually dying. As long as I'm alive, then I have a place. Even if I'm not "me," I'm still me. There's nothing stopping me from being a similar person, or being a better person. It isn't like I'm going to even suffer. Much more peaceful in my eyes.

Id take the 3 years. Mind wipe sounds like instant death.

It won't change your ability to function, but you as a person.

Does it also reset our skills and abilities (including or excluding the way we think and psichology)?

Anyway i would undergo surgery rather than living with brain cancer. Shame i don't even have the time to write down a little bio of myself and infos.

Would probably not go for the mind wipe, as it would effectively kill me and all. (although its a strange thing to think about, as the new person would carry some of your characteristics?)
The only real advantage is to those who love you, and even then I'm not sure about it.

I'd choose mind wipe because it'll give you the chance to rediscover yourself rather than becoming a completely different person.

I agree with Apex, because no matter what happens you're always going to be you! (Unless you get brainwashed by some crazed villain with an eye-patch, a cleft lip, and a horrible sense of humor)

I would like to think of it as tossing all your jelly beans into a jelly bean jar, shaking it, and then taking out a new handful. Because life is like a jar of jelly beans.

There wouldn't be really a point to be living anymore if I wasn't myself, y'know? Specially if I started to prefer Dreamworks over Pixar...

You can't rediscover yourself if you've forgotten everything from your past. At the most you are now a man-child with a lot of explaining to do, and who needs a lot of explaining to be done. I hope no one deludes themselves into thinking that this is going to be a fresh start. It isn't. Because you're completely new, you have no frame of reference. You are a newborn baby in the body of an adult.

I would choose the slow and eventual death, rather than take the fate worse than it; the mindwipe. Why? Because it removes memories, thats why. Perhaps even memories of things that you have learned and studied.

The brains of children and babies are specially suited to learn new things and process new ideas. Adult brains are not. Best of luck trying to re-learn everything that were a part of your memory wipe.

Did you guys not see the word "immediately"?

They said they "would be prepared" as if they already were. But they aren't.

I would take the 3 years. I like being me too much to be someone else. I worked for what I am.

I rather to die lol.

I'd take my three years. I'd rather be myself to the end rather than have my end not being me.

I would see it as a pain for my friends and family. To see me, in my body but its not the me they knew all this time. It will cause confusion, awkwardness and a sort of miscommunication. I don't want that. Its like promising to close the door on them but actually leaving it ajar; it will never open fully like it did before and it will frustrate them.

I don't want that. By the end of my three years, I would have finished letters to each of them; what I wanted to say, plans for the future that will never be, promises still remembered, etc.

I won't act like its my last years though, that would just be sad. Instead I'll live life as normal because remembering my inevitable death just doesn't feel right. We all die someday anyway, its just that mine has been spoiled. I'd rather think it wasn't for the next 3 years.

I'm undecided. Both option seems good to me. Changing my personality overnight is definitely something I'd do even if I wasn't dying.

But dying sounds nice too.

I mean obviously I'd have someone to remind me that I was an asshole and had no regard for emotions of other right after I learnt the meaning of that word again.
Honestly it doesn't sound like a bad idea, maybe this time I'd learn to be a proper human being and learn to do those things which I've previously learnt in the right way.
No one ever said it was going to be easy lol.
