Hi,
Replying to the same post twice -- shame on me. But this just occurred to me after speaking with my mother this morning. And it is sufficiently removed from the previous post that a simple edit wouldn't do (at least for me).

Quote:I would add that there are only a few diseases on this planet that truly terrify me, they are Ebola/Marburg, Dengue, SARS, Pneumonic plague and Cholera. Oh, and that flesh eating streptococcal bacteria...After reading your list, I realized that none of my fears are really reflected here. I don't particularly fear death, though some processes of dieing are preferable to others. The things I really fear are loss of vision and loss of my mind. And of the two, loss of my mind is the big one. I'd much sooner die, even of some of the diseases you named, than live with dementia. Of course, if I do go crazy, I might just change my mind;)
