        I'm curious - what's your image of death and dying?
I'm not trying to be morbid, but I'm trying to get a general
feel for the public's opinion about their final hours and maybe
the hereafter, if you believe in one.  I'm in the medical
field, and would like to have a better idea of what kind of
beliefs are out there.

        I apologize for not sticking to the topic at hand, but  
I couldn't think of a better place to post this -- suggestions  
are welcome!

        Please help me... I think it's important that doctors   
understand that their own personal views are not the only ones
out there -- and only then can they be good physicians.    


        1.) Do you believe in anything after death?     

        2.) Would you want heroic measures done to you to
                save your life? (ie. life-support machines, 
                etc.)                         

        3.) Do you believe in suicide? Or physician-assisted 
                suicide?

        4.) Would you want a prolonged death, so that you'd
                have time before you died, or would you prefer 
                an instant passing?

        5.) Are you afraid of dying?

        Any thoughts, comments, answers, etc. extremely welcome
and wanted at:

                


        All responses will be kept confidential and will help   
at least one person be a better doctor in the future!!

        THANK YOU!!!
