Would you still want to live if paralyzed from the waist down?

[PingSpike]

Well?

 

[Kalvin00]

Waist down? Yeah. Neck down? Not really.

 

[Syringer]

Wow, unanimous on both sides so far.. Interesting..

 

[Toastedlightly]

Neck down = No thanks

Another stupid question I don't like to think about, until it would actually happen to me.

I am completely paralyzed from my chest down, have limited arm movement, and zero finger control.

I still want to live, thanks.

I was just going to say that you guys should talk to Crab.

For sure if it was waist down. Neck down, I would have to think about it. Part of me would say just euthanize me but another part of me is loathe to 'lose' to anything.
I am not sure if I am so willing to simply give up my life even if I am paralyzed neck down.
That being said I am not sure if I would want to live life being paralyzed neck down.

Neck down is dodgy because that alone could take your life (breathing problems, heart problems, etc,) but one could still live a VERY productive life, especially with the technology available today, when faced with the challenge of not having the use of arms and legs.

Push me off a giant bridge. Shoot me.

Waist down -- Yeah.
Neck down -- Not really.

I'm laying down right now, so I'm using a trackball to type with an on-screen keyboard. Usually, I peck keys with my pointer finger.

Wrong, not in general.

Paralysis is not black & white.

My sister was born with spina bifida. She's paralyzed from the waist down. No control of her legs, but if her legs are hit (or touched or w/e) strong enough, she can feel it. She lives her life fine, goes to college, has friends, etc. She turns 21 on Valentine's day and plans on going to NY over the summer to visit some friends.
