My boyfriend in High School.. We were considering marriage after graduation..

4. What do you think about abortion?

I am Pro-Choice.. I believe it is every woomans right to decide for herself..

5. Do you think brain dead persons should remain on life support?

I believe that is the choice of the individual, that is why a Living Will is such an important document to have..

6. Are your views about death spiritual in any sort of way?

No..

7. Do you think funerals are necessary?

Yet again that is the choice of the individual... I personally could care less whether or not there is a funeral when I die... My family however wants me to have one and since I willbe dead they can d what they want...

Yes to many people doing life in prison taking me tax money.

2. What is your attitude towards death (in general)?
It sucks but with out death we would not appreciate life.

3. Who is the closest person to you who died?
My dad

4. What do you think about abortion?
Its a crude and sad practice but people who get abortions should not have kids.

It depends. I think a suffering in pain person should be allowed to die. ..if the person was born bad brain let him die.

just telling people that I care about them and love them sometimes we need to do a better job with that.

So like where is my million dollars?

Answer 4

1. Do you approve of the death penalty?
No. Although I think the rule "an eye for an eye" applies, we would be hypocritical to say killing is wrong then murder someone who has made a wrong choice. Life in jail is suitable.
2. What is your attitude towards death (in general)?
It's something we all have to deal with. And honestly, I'm not afraid. "Death is like getting out of a cab, and getting into another." There has to be life after death, or we wouldn't be living in the first place.
3. Who is the closest person to you who died?
My uncle. He died of cancer.
4. What do you think about abortion?
I am certainly against it. Just because someone made the wrong decision by getting pregnant, an innocent baby shouldn't suffer because of it. Life is precious, and we're lucky to be living it, so why take it away from someone who hasn't had a chance?
5. Do you think brain dead persons should remain on life support?
If they are truly brain dead - never to live again - then no. Although letting go is hard, it's not healthy to hold onto this person forever. You're letting them suffer.
6. Are your views about death spiritual in any sort of way?
Somewhat, but to a certain extent. I'm not sure how to explain it.
7. Do you think funerals are necessary?
For some people, because they allow them to say goodbye, and celebrate their life. For others, it's easy to just see them one more time and that's it. It's a matter of opinion, and the person itself. For me, I think they are necessary.
8. Have you ever had a near-death experience?
No. I almost got hit by a car once, but I'm not sure I would have died.
9. If you answered yes, can you tell me if you learned anything from it?
I learned to look both ways before crossing the street. (:
10. Is there anything that you were reluctant to ask/tell a dear one that you wish you had said?
No, and I'm not sure how to answer that.
Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!
No problem. I was bored. (:

4. What do you think about abortion?WRONG!

6. Are your views about death spiritual in any sort of way? Being without God is spiritual death.

8. Have you ever had a near-death experience? No, but read a lot about it.

Answer 6

1. In theory yes, in practice no. It's not applied fairly.
2. Just a natural part of living.
3. No one yet.
4. I don't believe an embryo is the same as a baby, so it is a personal choice.
5. No, although if the family want them to, and have the resources to pay for it, it is their choice.
6. Sort of. I believe there is more to life and the universe than we are aware, but I don't know what that is. I doubt consciencenous continues past death.
7. Some sort of memorial and closure should exist in a culture to honor the departed. It's for the family, not the deceased.
8. Yes
9. Learned absolutely nothing from it.
10. Can't really think of anything right now.

Answer 7

1. Do you approve of the death penalty?
No, why would you kill someone to prove killing someone is wrong?

2. What is your attitude towards death (in general)?
Everything and everyone dies.

3. Who is the closest person to you who died?
My grandfather.

4. What do you think about abortion?
Give it a chance, unless the mother's life is in danger.

5. Do you think brain dead persons should remain on life support?
No. You have to learn to let them go.

6. Are your views about death spiritual in any sort of way?
Yes.

7. Do you think funerals are necessary?
Yes, its a good way to say goodbye.

8. Have you ever had a near-death experience?
Yes, I nearly died when I was born.

9. If you answered yes, can you tell me if you learned anything from it?
No..I was too young. :P

10. Is there anything that you were reluctant to ask.tell a dear one that you wish you had said?
Nothing I can recall at the moment.

Answer 8

1) Do you approve of the death penalty?

No. Once you become what you're trying to punish... where do you go from there? What values do you truly hold?

2) What is your attitude toward death?

It's a necessary part of life. It had a beginning; and in order for the next generation to flourish, it must have an ending as well.

3) Who is the closest person to you who died?

I've lost several in my life. Close friends and family members alike. I'm not saying that everyone I know is dropping like flies--but I am saying that it's tough playing favorites with the dead.

4) What do you think about abortion?

I think abortion is a subject that's become a playground for the self-righteous. Abortion happens quite regularly NATURALLY: not every fertilized egg makes it into pregnancy--and not every pregnancy makes it through full term. Funny how when a human being does it, it's suddenly against God. And--as answers above mine have indicated--most of the people who are against abortion are FOR capital punishment. Will you people make up your minds?

5) Do you think brain dead people should remain on life support?

With no hope for recovery? I wouldn't want to be.

6) Are your views about death spiritual in any sort of way?

No. Everyone dies. Bullshitting myself about soaring among the clouds or picking flowers in some version of an afterlife won't change that.

7) Do you think funerals are necessary?

I've never been to one that was. It really is only there so that survivors can lie to themselves about there being a reason for the death... that God is with them now... that the deceased is in Heaven now... that the deceased is still with us "in spirit"...

Not my cup of tea. I prefer to remember the one who died instead of attending a meeting where everyone clings to lies about death.

8) Have you ever had a near-death experience?

LIFE is a near-death experience.

9) If you answered "yes," can you tell me if you learned anything from it?

Life's the best teacher you could ever ask for. Of course I've learned something from it.

10) Is there anything that you were reluctant to ask or tell a dear one that you wish you had said?

I have an Aunt and Uncle who are JW. They wouldn't visit me--nor did they ever ask about me--while I recieved a bone marrow transplant for cancer treatment. Part of me wishes I'd have called them up and told them how pathetic it is to turn away real family for the sake of an imaginary friend.

Answer 9

1. Yes. Under certain circumstances, if someone makes the decision takes a life without justification, then that gives society the right to take theirs.
2. It's a part of life.
3. My Grandmother
4. I'm pro-choice. It's more upsetting to me to think of all the people out there who are irresponsible enough to not use birth control when it's readily available, and that there are people in this day and ago who are actually encouraging us to not educate our children on how to protect themselves from pregnancy and disease in ways other than as well as including abstinence.
5. No. They're dead. But the family needs to be given time to let go and say goodbye.
6. No.
7. Not for the dead. For the living, yes, it gives some sense of closure.
8. No
9. N/A
10. Nothing in particular. The only thing I wish I could do is talk to my grandmother about a series of photo albums of hers that came into my possession after her death. The photo albums were put together by *her* aunt, and some of the photos in it are so old they're tin-types. Her aunt was fanatical about putting them together. It was her hobby her whole life. She was born in the 1800's, and died in the 1940's. They're the most amazing photo albums I've ever seen. (Especially the earliest ones.) My grandmother knew a lot of the people whose photos are in the album, and I would love to learn more about them.

Answer 10

1) I am not the judge, in terms of justice (life for life).
- I personally cannot approve nor disapprove of the death penalty, I can approve of justice... (the principles of justice)
2) Death is just the end of life... (end of suffering in many cases...)
3) My Stepfather died (Brain cancer)
4) Abortion violates the principle of life...
5) I am not in the position to judge... (I do not know if there is hope for them or not...)
6) Death is not the end for the righteous... The wicked will be forgotten forever...
7) Only for the living are they useful...
8) I have almost died several times, however none involved seeing a tunnel, or anything like that at all... just I almost died...
9) I learned to be more careful, to be calm, to be understanding of others pain...
10) Everything that needs to be said has been said, however, the questions will never end...

Journey Well...
