The Unimaginable Nothing
(10)
Oh... My... God!
AC360 (CNN) has 'Doctor Kevorkian' on, even as I type this! Suicide is the question. Do you need help? Do you want to 'end it all' but are unable to gather the guts to do it to yourself? Doctor K will help you do it!
Is suicide a good idea?
Good question. Allow me to provide you with the answer.
The question rests on 'consequences.' Is there an 'afterlife?'
This question is laughable, so far as I am concerned, because of my understanding of modern science.
There is no 'afterlife' because 'mind' is a product of 'brain:' No brain, no mind. Sip.
Given this scenerio, 'death' is terminal.
What happens after 'death?'
'Nothing.'
Brain-dead, we experience nothing. But 'nothing' is unimaginable (not surprising, given that we can not imagine 'somethingness' while we are dead.)
This brings us to the idea that 'brain death' means 'something or other, but probably nothing.'
