If you're a big fan of doing nothing forever, I'm sure it's fine.

Better than getting shocked all day or feeling shitty after a transplant because of the drugs you have to be on forever.

For some people yes, for others no.

Doesn't matter, it's not like there's a choice.

Same as before you were born. How traumatic was that?

The Bardo time? Pretty fucking traumatic, at least first one I can recall was. Practice makes perfect. Why do you think so many kids are afraid of the dark? And why do you think that infantile amnesia exists to begin with?

I get what you're saying, but continued existence has to be balanced against the quality of said existence. If it's agony, pain or extreme disability that prevents enjoyment of life, life seems less compelling.
