You have just been given a short time to live by your doctors. How about going along to the Dangerous Jobs Agency to be given a task no healthy person would want: eg roadsweeping in Chernobyl. Steering Hubble telescope back to earth. Infiltrating Al Quaeda. etc
Make the most of your last days: Contribute
to the human race- you are, after all, God's gift to the rest of us.
Don't die, a woose.
Of course, you may consider your whole life is a terminal condition...

What's in it for the terminally ill to go on a suicide mission? A large cash sum for their surviving family?
A contribution to their charity? Grant a last dream wish? Wasn't this in Minority Report? |

Whats in it for the terminally ill to do nothing? I am not advocating useless and despairing suicide, but a last brave life affirming act |

//no healty person would want// I think is the problem for me. Now, if the agency offered a job that a healthy - and sane - person would *really* like, but would shy away from because the risks just couldn't be justified - that might be considered //making the most of your last days//. |

Relatively speaking, we all have a short time left to live.
Your reasoning is not so far from how the suicide bombers reason. Nice irony. The God reference doesn't make it any less obvious. |

I'll tell you what - if I do get a terminal disease (please, gods, don't give me a terminal disease), send me to the Moon with supplies and a load of building materials, and I'll get started on the International Lunar Station for my remaining days. |

I get to go to the Moon, and help humanity at the same time. |
