Dread Pirate Ghosty: I just see death as the ultimate lack of health, the antithesis to healthy lifestyle. The whole point of "good health" is to extend and improve life. The only cases where death is a medical alternative is to end unedurable pain or total inability to do things that make life worth living.
And like I said, I would consider being that fat physically and especially emotionally unendurable... I would be so depressed with myself for getting that way, which would make it worse. And being that large would mean total inability for me to do things I enjoy that make life worth living, other than perhaps reading and drawing and singing.
Also, I'm more under the belief like my vet used to comfort my mom and I when we put my dog down... Mister could have lived after his stroke, easily... but the thing is, his quality of life wouldn't be the same, he wouldn't be happy (it was obvious by the time we took him to be put to sleep that he was depressed... I had never seen him depressed in my life, it was heartbreaking). It's the quality of life over the quantity... and so many people don't understand that in terms of human beings, we're told it's wrong to kill them even when they're sick... you can't just say "It's not worth it to keep them alive" and we drag it on for longer than we should. If I were to be as large as I'm talking, my quality of life (in my personal opinion) would be nill, and I'd rather die than live that way. And like I said, I'd be disgusted with myself for allowing myself to get that way... and I'd probably never get over it or forgive myself.
