You have 7 days...

[frumplstlskn]

I'd also pull a Shikamaru and take up smoking.

wait what? is this a spoiler? Tell me more.

[Nazaraki]

Contract AIDS and rape everyone, pick up smoking, get tattoos, punch one of my professors, and masturbate into the mashed potatoes at the dining hall.

And then you get the knowledge that the doctor had of an accident switched your health proflie with another and you had the diagnosis of "Mentally stable, and good physics"

If I really had 7 days to live, I would buy the highest life insurance on myself and sign it to the person at the forefront of my thoughts at that moment, then I'd cash the rest of my money into one dollar bills, go to the highest building, and scatter it across the city.

This plan, although admirable, wouldn't work afaik. I don't think any insurance company will accept claims if the death follows so shortly after taking the policy (because it's fairly obvious you are scamming them), or if they do they will have set the payout to be much lower than what you are paying for your insurance. You will also need a health certificate / a medical check prior to the activation of the policy in most cases.

Sai did not state the cause of death so disease is only one possibility. Who is to say that I didn't watch a tape? And if the case was that I was omniscient, and it was possible to know beforehand if a certain accident were to occur (which isn't too absurd considering the context of this thread) than I would be all the wiser to keep it to myself.

I have yet to hear someone scam a company by killing themselves... but I might be too much of a greenhorn in that department.

I would imagine people attempt it even with the current regulations every now and then. The most typical life insurance fraud is failing to disclose information about your health or private activities (like that you do base jumping on Wednesdays) but there's really all sorts. Still most (if not all) policies come with a clause that if you die very shortly after signing up the insurer may not pay anything.

Well she did say the HIGHEST paying one. Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a lot of cash. Just the one she could get the most out of.

Reminds me of a certian loli manga..............

"Brown girls are the best!"

[groove]

dunno about the six days, but the seventh, for my last meal, i'd definitely hit up red lobster.

[Siktir]

i would see if i could drink 250 cups of coffe before the seventh day and on the seventh day i would be so hperactive that i can see everything in slow motion......i wonder what will happen?

[ImMeSoHi]

Major shopping spree
Drink til I hit the floor
More shopping
Maybe go see some strippers
Swim with dolphins

[Phantasmagoria]

Murder, but not random killing spree.
People who need to be murdered, people who better pray i never get diagnosed with anything deadly (you know who you are) or the plotting shall begin.

then i would drink / smoke (more then i already do) and do drugs to the point of pure bodily destruction.

also i would kill myself on day 6.

[copas]

I would take up cocain, and then quit.

Oh well, doesn't matter. I'd be dead anyway.

You would die in slowmotion, and really feel the pain. Awesome idea ^^

I don't remember posting that, but now that I see it... lol.

[copas]

I would like to spread my terminal illness to as many people as possible.

Then make a myspace bulliten and tell them all, so they would then go on killing sprees.

[MidnightDemon]

hmmm... rob a bank lol
or a heist of somesort

[copas]

Become a ninja.

[Shakedown 1979]

Play WoW

[Vlastokov]

Looking back, I think the best thing to do is rob a shitload of banks and donate all the money to charities.

but the banks keep a record of all their notes' serial numbers o_o
and you'd possibly leave your estate (family etc) and the charities with lots of police issues and such. That would be weird.

Why are some people saying they are going to drink or smoke with their last days to live?

Is getting really baked or shit faced THAT great of an idea when your near death?

[EvilSquirrel]

Yes

It's a bad idea generally because it ruins your future. If you have no future, the point is to enjoy the moment as much as possible.

What confuses me is why people would act any different knowing they will die in 7 days rather than 80 years. Your fate is still death, so beyond working and doing the dishes, your priorities shouldn't be much different

[Mystic Thunder]

I'd go to Toy's R Us and take EVERYTHING!!!!

Because there are things which ruin your future o_o
From a simply selfish point of view, we weigh the gain of our actions versus the repercussions? The gain in robbing a bank is clear, but the repercussions change depending on how much life you have left. If it's expected to be seven days, seven days of jail or running from police might compare quite favourably. If the expected jail/ass time is somewhere between 7 days and a hundred years it's a different story? o_o

Hmm, I think what I mean to say is that the fate of a human is not "death" - it's "an amount of time in certain conditions then death"
