Something that entered my mind while I was impaling a baby bunny (not really). I would like your opinion on the idea of death.
No, not the big skeletal guy in the black robes with a huge scythe, but dying.
Well... you know what I mean. Just vote, people. Please.

Meh, death is just when the catalysts allowing the chemical reactions that animate us run out. As far as I'm concerned it is inevitable so either make the most of your life rather than being part of some crazy repentant following.

Why does anyone live? Death is the meaning of life...
Life is merely the pursuit of the most beautiful death!!

Death is like a nice sleep, only without the sleep. You get my meaning?

Death is above all an excuse for ordinary people to try their hand on philosophy and failing...

If Death sucked then a lot of men would be happy.
Seriously, though, death isn't any different from being born. They're just two sides of the same coin, because you can't have one without the other. So, essentially how you end up regarding death depends on the lives and deaths that you witness around you. But when your time comes, all that shouldn't matter anymore, so why worry in the first place?
My option isn't exactly up there. I more or less just don't care.

Can't be true if no one can be right or wrong about the matter.

It's better than never trying at all! How else am I supposed to make myself look like a total a**? ; ;

I don't know what to make of death, but it's certainly something I don't fear. I haven't selected anything because none of those fit the 'it's just a possible new road' responce.

Thirded!!
Death will happen unless we unlock all the secrets of life and master regeneration of body cells during life.
If we do that we're probably pretty close to being able to actualize actual, full transgender work. Course that's so far ahead... ...alien intervention not accounted for...

Well, seeing as how scientists know the mechanisms as to how the body breaks down and ages, who knows when a major break through will develop? Frankly, I'm excited about this, because depending on where I go in my field, I could be one of the people helping make advances in extending human life spans. :O
Or making cyborg armies out of dead/dying people, you know. Like in Ghost in the Shell. Only in real life. We live in interesting times.

Well as it has already been decided in my ICT class that we will probably see cybernetics in our lifetimes then it is only a metter of time before someone goes all the way and is basically a brain in a box.
Interesting times that just keep on going

Actually, it's been said that in a few years, computers will acutally be smarter than human beings. Does anyone else smell computerized rebellion in the not-so-distant future? Interesting times indeed.

I picked the second option since my actual answer isn't on your poll. I have no intention of ever dying, immortality is my only goal in life.
