> why do we act like we're not going to die? Hi Bob. I know this was rhetorical, but I don't think it's the being dead that's so bad, it's how we get there. Like, if someone told me "ok, well you have cancer and some night you'll just go to sleep and won't wake up but you'll be ok until then" I'd be bummed, but not terrified. On the other hand, if someone told me I'd waste away to nothing, be in excruciating pain, undergo the typical "slash, poison, and burn" therapies, etc..., well that just scares the sh*t out of me! So, I think that's why.
BTW, lest anyone think I'm "so close to that line" I guess I'm not. They say, after a laundry list of FDA mandated tests, I guess every part of me is incredibly healthy, except the one tumor site. The irony of that is just about beyond belief. So, by JoniFest, I'll be the one with little whiskers, a cute pink nose, beady eyes, a tail, and white fur. You basic lab animal - one of 15 such humans turned lab mouse they're testing this vaccine on. It cured 85% of the real mice... (To the medically minded, the vaccine uses the protein CYP1B1, is manufactured by Zycos, and is called ZYC300.) lots of love Anne NPIMH: my mantra "you should never see it coming" and the cute animation that made the rounds of the internet a few years ago, with the cute alien dancing to "I Will Survive" only to be suddenly squashed. It was hysterical.
