But the dying process does not change. The philosophical or even clinical definition of “dead” has no bearing on the emotional experience of dying.
I take it you have a do not resuscitate medical tag then? You wouldn’t want some EMTs to restart your heart after you had the “emotional experience of dying.”
I’ve never said I wouldn’t want to be revived before I expire. I’ve only said I wouldn’t expect to be and so it would be of no comfort to me.
Probably, it would be pretty terrible both dying and being revived. Afterward, I’d be glad I was revived.
I can see where you are headed with this about the value of preferences now for things happening later.
I see. I think you’re being unclear, though I’m not sure it’s your fault. I’ll reply to your earlier post.
