Amnesia or Death?
You have been given a choice:
You can recieve permenant, total, and irrevisible amnesia now, but then be released to lead the rest of your natural life. Or you are given some arbitary short length of time (say a week) to live with your memories intact, after which you will die.
(Just to less complicate the issue, we can assume that the very basic knowledge you posees will not be lost. You will still have language and a knowledge of basic social behaviour etc. Just no "personal" memories). Also don't get caught up in the fact "if I know when I am going to die, I could do whatever I want to now". I want to steer clear of these irrelevant consequences. Lets just say, for the sake of arguemnt, that you won't remember making your decision, after you are released to live out your final week. Your final week will be just like any normal week in your life...you won't be going out in a spectacular bang!
Now this might seem like a very bizarre question. And it does have a point behind it. I am still formulating an argument based around this. But for now, I just want to see people's initial reactions.
