I'm with you. Once dead I'd prefer to stay dead. It's actually a comforting thought to know that my life will end. For me it brings meaning to the life that I do still have.

Me either.

The comments in this thread to the tune of "anything is better than being dead" actually kind of took me by surprise.

I can conceive of a point where technology and society has developed to a place where bodies are replaced after death with something that's worth "living" in again, but that's a long way from wanting to be a brain in a vat purely because it means I'm not technically dead.

Will you know you're dead though? If they have the technology to bring your brain back, they probably have the technology to make your brain think you're still in your body and you woke up.
