If you could be drugged for life so that you will never feel sadness/pain/anything negative, would you do it?

Question

let's say it's not illegal and it would not harm your body and it will be completely financed by someone else... you will never have to worry about ANYTHING EVER.

Answer 1

No.  It would be creepy to not feel something when I know that I should.  Christian

Answer 2

It's kinda late for that now.  All my heartache and pain was between 1965 and 1982.  I might as well ride it out the rest of the way. There's not much more that can happen to me now.

Answer 3

No.  I want to feel all my emotions -- that's just a part of being alive.

St. Iraeneus of Lyons said "The glory of God is man fully alive."  Part of being fully alive is experiencing all those emotions, even if it is painful. It is more authentic and honest.

Answer 4

If you did. you would never feel what its like to be alive. And you would become an emointless shell. Well its your choice. but think about it. you will never feel loved, or needed. You will feel alone in the world. because you won't know if anyone cares or not. then sooner or later. Lonliness will set in.  But since you won't be able to feel it. you will never know just how lonely you are.

Answer 5

hmmmm nah Ill just settle for a never ending supply of pot oh and Im Christian

Answer 6

Yeah, I was on something like that for about 6th months.  Feeling no emotion is fun for a while, but not being able to o****m was no fun.

Answer 7

Never. I love my pain. I have accepted it into my soul and am thankful for it. Pain makes me real. Truthfully, I think I've had it easy.....  

Answer 8

why would something to upgrade human ability is made illegal?

i really don't understand this world and its hypocrites.

if they fear they cannot beat a drug user in a challenge, then everybody should use drug. Then we can see a whole new world.

Human creativity, hardworking, physical ability, will reach a new limit never before seen in history.

Answer 9

No sadness , pain, and all those other negative emotions are part of life. They hurt yes but its parts of reality and its normal. You're suppose to hurt when you lose someone you love its part of loving them. I like my emotions, the good ones and the painful ones.

Answer 10

I was stoned for the best part of forty years - I hardly felt a thing.

And now I'm straight ... it's like a brand new version of being stoned; it's really cool.

Answer 11

No, it would remove my control. It would be like a living dead. How would you know happness with out sadness. They are two sides of the same coin...

Answer 12

Does that also mean you could do something bad and not feel remorse for it?

Even otherwise I wouldn't do it...can't lose my loved ones/or this world...unless if the whole world could get it!

Answer 13

No, I might as well go live in my own little world if I'm going to do that.

EDIT: I'm a secular humanist (an atheist)

Answer 14

no,because there are certain emotions that i would like to feel,that is what makes me human.

Answer 15

Yes, I would fund the research for such a drug.

Answer 16

Nah, sounds like being a zombie. I'll stick with reality and if need be, oxycontin.

Answer 17

Hope you are not accepting emails because the fundies are going to jump all over you.

Answer 18

No thanks we learn from our experiences.

Roman Catholic

Answer 19

Yes...

Happiness and contentment is the ultimate goal that every individual strives towards, if you're happy, nothing else matters.

I see some people follow the 'embrace the pain' philosophy, but if there's an option B why do that?

Answer 20

No.  Embrace everything that life has to offer good or ill.

Wanting such is to deny reality.
