Gosh yes. I was just minutes late to the bedside of a dear old sister in Christ (102 years old) last night. I wish I had made it in time. What is wrong with watching someone die? It is harrowing, but it is part of life. It is more important that the person is surrounded by people who love them as they go.
-
G'day Sophiesmom. Thank you for your question. No. I would only watch someone die if I knew them well. Otherwise, I would feel uneasy and I'm sure that they would as well. Regards
-
No, I have already seen enough death. I have witnessed old age/natural causes death, "wet death" in combat, and accidental death from accidents. Enough for me.
-
Don't worry, you would'nt be intrusive to me at all if only my wife would agree to your request........
-
Been there, done that. I didn't know the guy, but watching the life drain from this young man after an accident really affects me to this day, and this was like 10 years ago.
-
I have been invited several times. I was a receptionist at a nursing home for six years and was allowed to sit at the bedside of many people and to view them after passing.
-
It depends.
-
If it were a violent death, no. If a friend asked me to be there for their last moments, yes. I've seen people die, and it is not good.
-
I have already watched several people die, not something I want to sign up for to do on my own. For some strange reason its something that kinda sticks in your mind for lets say....always.
-
No, I would only want to be someone if I could offer them some comfort.
-
No, it doesn't really interest me.
-
Been there done that. Never want to do it again. It does haunt you for what could be a long time to come.
-
Why?
-
Two words: **** no! *shudder*
-
I wouldn't want to, but if it was helpful to the person dieing for me to be there, I would do it for them.
-
Yes and when it's over I can be there for them.
-
Yes. Adolf hitler. I hoped he died in a slow and painful way. The coward just shot himself and did quick. If I where there it would be a slow disembowling.
-
No, I watched my father die. It was a time I thought he should not be alone, and I think I was right. But what is the attraction to watching a stranger die? It is a sad and lonely moment, which I feel no one should be a part of without family consent. I think it would take someone pretty twisted to WANT to see the light vanish from someone's eyes.
-
Depends on who the human is and I'm thinking of a couple that I would not only not mind but take a great deal of pleasure watching die
-
No, I've seen people die infront of me. It really isn't a spectator sport.
-
No. I've seen someone die, someone I that was very special to me. I don't ever want to see that again!
-
Sure. Like watching a child being born. If the mum and dad didn't mind me being there. These things are amazing transitions. it's an honor to be witness to them.
-
I watched my mother die... I agree with one AB user who said "It is not a spectator sport." I would never have shared that moment with anyone... Not even for science.
-
I was with both of my parents when they died. This was a very sad and personal time and had great meaning for me. Why would someone else want to be a spectator to such a private time?
-
No it would scare me. I used to work in a hospital and was with someone when they arrested and almost died but if someone was terminally ill i would rather not be there the moment they passed away unless i was close to them like they were in my family or a friend. But thats just me being too squeemish.
-
i would only go if two conditions i knew the person and they were a friend or they were family and if i saw them dying i would tell them how much they mean to me and how much i cared for them
-
Sure.
-
Not sure that I really understand this question
-
If I had the chance to, I probably would. It's probably not a pleasant sight, but it happens and it would be interesting to see. Of course I would only do it without being intrusive to them or their family.
-
No. This is not an experience I seek out.
-
Only if I hate them for being superficial then yes. I hate narrow minded people.
-
Yes but solemnly.
