Don't be scared, anesthesia is like a really good nap. I'd do it for fun if it was safe and cheap.

It really just boils down to a fear of death.

I have tried talking to a therapist about this many times and ultimately it comes down to. Fear of missing certain experiences, scientific discoveries, etc. But then logically I tell myself... I won't be alive to fear that?

But then that thought sends me down a spiral on its own.

Like its an illogical fear, the very nature of death you would not have any regrets... since you can't. But... yeah.

It is all kinda of weird.
