that makes perfect sense...

Yes. That makes a lot of sense. That's a very intelligent answer.
Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know you and I never was here before, but your answer to this question caught my attention in the writers block.

yeah, it makes alot of sense. I'd call everyone that I care about though anyway just to have last minute conversations, and then hang up before I even die.

Perfect Sense.

This was the logic that I put into my response.

"Why Eff up the rest of their lives?"

At least if I called for emergency services, I have made an attempt to save anyone who survives the bleak situation. Also, they are trained to deal with tragedy, on some level anyway.

I think your answer makes sense but I still have a problem with it. I feel like I would want to call someone. I wouldn't say that I was about to die, but I think when the moment came I would know who to call and what to say.

I don't know. I would feel weird about dying alone. And when that person found out later that they were the last person I called, it would mean just that much more for them. I would need to do what i felt, because I can only live in my own head. I can't live in anyone's else's.

I don't really know.
