Discussion If you are given the option to turn back time to a certain point (up to you) or be able to have voluntary assisted dying. Which would you choose

[tooafraidtodiez]

And also maybe why? You can choose not to tell if it's too personal. For me it's the second one since I have a disablity and in constant pain.

I would choose going back to the age of 14, but only if I could retain the knowledge I have now, to be able to re-do my adolescence, make different choices, and re-do my early adulthood.

If i can return back in time and preprogram myself to make the best decisions for my life, having kind of an "instinct" instead of memories, then yes i'll restart. I just don't want to remember what i've done because i can't live with that.

 

[Le temps perdu]

I would choose voluntary assisted dying, because life's uncertainties are the worst.

 

[so-so2]

Voluntarily assisted dying because I can't rewind that many times when it comes to trauma

 

[TwistedNightmares]

I would pick voluntary assisted dying. I have no safe moments I can rewind back to.

 

[peacebenow]

turn back in time before causes and conditions have led me here because I am currently unable to get medically aid in dying.

 

[FuneralCry]

All I could ever hope and wish for is to peacefully cease existing and never suffer in this terrible, dreadful and torturous existence ever again, to me existence will just always be a mistake that just causes and brings all this dreadful unnecessary suffering.

I'll just always prefer to not exist no matter what, I'd never wish to exist rather I just want to cease existing in peace, in this existence so torturous and dreadful non-existence is just all I see as positive and desirable. All I hope for is a death as painless as possible, existence to me will always be an abomination that only ever tortures existing beings and I find it so terrible how a human can suffer in this existence for so long with no limit as to how much they can be tortured just to face the terrible extreme agony of old age, all I want is for this existence to be all forgotten and erased with no more torture and no more suffering.

 

[Lemelonade]

Voluntary assisted dying. Not because I wouldn't live my life differently with the knowledge I have today, but because I just don't want to be in this world any longer.

 

[itsgone2]

Return. Undo the hurt I've done.

 

[bruised_reed]

Voluntary Assisted Dying. There isn't a point in time that I could turn back to that would help the situation because I realize my tolerance for suffering is not high enough for there to ever be a good outcome. This world is full of suffering.

Go back 1000000000000%

turning back time wouldn't do any good. ever since childhood i've had a screw loose. i constantly try to change and be a better person but there's something deeply wrong. i could turn back the time to avoid when i hurt others in the past, but it wouldn't change my being broken

reading others' experiences on this site though.. to know i'm cursed from the start and nothing could fix that -- that's preferable to having a specific moment (or several) where things fell apart and to hate the cause of that for the rest of my existence. i feel a little bit grateful now

 

[sandqueen]

turn back time. maid wouldn't be any different to suicide in how much it would hurt my sister, which is the main reason i'm still alive. also i wanna experience when i didn't have a fucked up depressed brain. and everything being cared by someone else.

also i want to have the opportunity to talk with my mom with my adult mind (and try to convince her to dump my dad while at it) learn about her experiences first-hand. it would be nice if i could convince my mom i'm an adult at mind and have the adult conversations i never can have now

 

[Black Sheep One]

I would go back in time. I would make sure my parents never conceive me. I would make sure my parents never met.

 

[phantasmagoria]

Voluntary assisted dying. Going back in time wouldn't change my life or my desire to ctb as a lot of the reasons I want to ctb are beyond my control. It's not about making the right choices

Nevermind (after reading the reply above me), I think I would go back to prevent my conception but then I wouldn't exist which would mean I wouldn't be able to prevent my conception. So, I don't think I can do it myself. Someone else has to; but then, after they do it I won't exist anymore and there would be no trigger to initiate the conception-prevention mission (similar problem to what I mentioned earlier). I think it would be a different story if the many-worlds interpretation is true, but I'm not sure.
