No.

Do you believe in afterlife ?
i dunno ^^ it not something i feel I can ascertain, so I don't really think about it and not formed a opinion ^^; i know lotta people beliefs are visceral, but i am extraordinarily indecisive and it take me long time to decide things ^^;

Strictly speaking - no I do not

If you were propositioned with a briefcase containing $1,000,000 cash, and all you had to do to get the briefcase was push a button that would kill someone (whom you don't know) somewhere out in the world, would you press the button? You have no knowledge of how/why/who would be killed, but you know someone would be killed.
no, because I don't know who it is and being only one person selected at random i do not feel that it would make a appreciable dent in net misery. my life might be marginally improved by the money, but not much if at all and there a high chance that the person who die could be a parent and they death would result in a big increase in misery of they children and children's children.

if the button would kill several billion people selectively I would push it even if I were included in the list.


would you submit to cybernetic modification?
