If you had to have an operation that could extend your life possibly 10 to 20 years....?

Question

with a 50/50 chance of you surviving the operation, would you take the risk?....

Not having the operation means you have less than a year.

or do you just enjoy what time you have?

Answer 1

I had that exact experience. I got a kidney and pancreas transplant in 1996 and I am nearing my 12th birthday with a new life.

Answer 2

I'd want the operation. I'm not through living yet and would want the 50/50 chance that I would have another 10 to 20 years instead of less than 1.

Answer 3

If I only had less than a year to live, I'd risk having the operation.

Answer 4

Tough one, I have lost several family members to cancer so this hits home. It's always different when it's you but I would most likely roll the dice and take the operation.

Answer 5

operating time

Answer 6

i wouldnt have the operation because i just want to grow old an die gracefully i dont want/need an extension

Answer 7

That one is hard, I think I'd say do it. If God decides to take you during then you know it was your time for sure. Otherwise, he wasn't quite ready for you yet.

Answer 8

Think about all you have to live for, then reconsider it. Whatever you do, don't make a decision you could regret later.

Answer 9

I die at Jesus' appointed time. No man or his work can stop the Lord.

Answer 10

Reading the first part of your Q, I would have said no...then with your add'l. info., definitely yes!
