    Yeah, in my case ECT (shock treatment for the layfolk. Zapping my brain.) is on the table, and the research I’ve done on it is not reassuring that they know what they’re doing.

    So I’ve thought about this at extreeeeeeeme length and with a philosophy background could probably argue before a judge… assuming the court wasn’t corrupt.

    If they do I’ll regard it as suicide-lite: They’re destroying parts of my brain so that my behavior is less offensive. I’m sure I’ll love Big Brother will all my heart.

    Ernest Hemingway and David Foster Wallace both got ECT, and decided they didn’t like who they were after the fact, eventually taking their lives. So if I go that route, it will be an absolute last resort.
