I'd be good. But not perfect. I would do my best to help others as much as possible, but I am also pretty selfish by nature so I am sure I would take advantage for my own personal gain as well.\n\nYes, I would give up work. But I would do charity stuff.

Living well. Do the best you can to live a great life. There's nothing like thumbing your nose at people who caused you pain and showing them that you can succeed in spite of them. Go for it.

Neither-I would be unmarried if those are my choices. I want an honest and good man-and I got mine. If their not honest-it will show in other things-no matter how hard working they are. Would you want Cancer or Aids?

Rich looking.  But seriously, I would rather be disgustingly rich. Beauty can be nurtured, to be disgustingly rich is harder to attain.

It depends on (a) which would make you most happy.\n\nWhat do you mean by "better"? Does that mean "you'd earn more" or does it mean "you'd be doing more for humanity"?\n\nHow close to "doing good" do you want to be?\n\nSure doctors save lives, but if you ended up working as a manager managing medical engineering projects that designed stuff that helped hundreds or thousands of people with some medical device that'd be good too...

hey nothing is as important as your health .you can earn money but you can't earn health. efforts are a waste if you don't have a good health.take care

Well yeah, neither is really desirable.  But AIDS is fatal... and pregnancy?  Temporary.  So I'd go with pregnancy, myself.

I know people personally who are considered medically disabled and unable to work.  The insurance company they paid into their whole lives dropped them because they supposedly reached their "life cap."  They moved to Mexico to be able to afford the healthcare and medications they need just to survive on a daily basis.  I would do the same in their position.  We should be free to go wherever we need to on God's earth to not just survive but THRIVE.  If that place changes from the USA to Mexico for me tomorrow I'll go in a heartbeat.

Some illnesses are hereditary, so we have no say on any of it. Some are caused by da way n/or place we were raised in.\nLivin a productive life however, is really a choice most of us decide upon (most of da time), wouldn't u agree?

After emailing my boss that I quit, I'd call on a financial advisor. Together, we'd work out a plan that would take care of all my needs for life, including shelter, transportation, cleaning, cooking, etc. My home plan would include all the space I need to lounge, play, and sleep, as well as property that would house plenty of sweet rescued puppies. I'd have a well-stocked art and music studio. The plan would make sure nobody would ever have to sacrifice in order to care for me in old age or pay the expenses for my death. There would be no debts to pay, and all of my belongings would have been scaled down to comfort and treasures. I would provide opportunities to be with my family, children, grandkids, as often as possible. I'd travel, see the world's wonders one good thorough time, and spend my time making sure my husband is treated with utmost respect and loving care as long as I'm here. I'd pay someone to help me write my biography, and to help me finish the scramble of genealogy work I've been putting together the past few years. My intentions would be the same as they are today, but more fruitful.

It depends on what you think is important to you. Some may die for money, some may die for women, some may even die for the sake of science. It all depens on what you percieve is the most important thing in your life, and it is not to be decided by other arbitrary people.

If I had a terminal illness yes. so someone would benefit.\nIf I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled.  No

No. The government has no business in how its citizens choose to live their lives. All the lifestyle preferences you listed should be just that: preferences. If one person enjoys using recreational drugs, in addition to living a productive and successful life, he should be able to.

Pancakes... ah how nice it is to be upper middle class, but maybe you should turn off the TV all together and visit some of our poor communities.... only the rich come here to get health care... the poor in the country can't afford it... just because they aren't the brightest, doesn't mean they shouldn't get health care...\n\nsimple answer to your question is greed... the sin of greed is very acceptable to our "moral conservatives," in fact it's encouraged...

I believe this is an exellent question. But more than that, I think you've already answered it even better. I mean, you are totally right about people not willing to take risks and live fully. I personally live up with this idea and I have ended up in a lot of luck by just listening to my instinct, heart, and mind. This question can keep me going on and on, but what good will it make? \n\nIt is said that if all the wealth in the world were to be divided equally among all the people, in 20 years the poor will be poor and the rich will be rich back again. Unfortunately, There are those who were born to scrub public restrooms and those who take chances and end up in somewhat better job (If not the best job there is). And YES, College does NOT guarantee success but how you apply yourself! Everyone who looses and turns the failure into an experience is a winner. \n\nAnd yes, I walk the talk. I am independent, 21 year old Mexican, quatri-lingual, living in China and running my own import export buisness. If I were home sick, or was too afraid to go into a country where I did not know the language, I would have done nothing. \n\nIn life, there are those who succeed, and those who will just watch. Which one are you??
