No I won't. When my brain dies that's it. Goodnight Vienna.

Bodily resurrection and judgement is real. Your brain will be reactivated.

I don’t expect you to believe it. Unless you repent you’re going to find out why there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when it happens.

Or this.... Hot water cremation.

body is placed in a specialized pressurized steel chamber filled with water and a small amount of potassium hydroxide.Heat and Pressure: The mixture is heated to around 150°C to 160°C under high pressure, preventing the liquid from boiling.Duration: The gentle process takes about 4 to 6 hours to completely dissolve the soft tissues.The Remains: Only clean bone fragments remain, which are dried and processed into a fine, sand-like powder to be returned to the family in an urn.

Face palm....it's the same result.

In some cases it's murder. There's not suppose to be coercion but in some instances there is.

Not everyone is screaming in pain...withering in agony....which seems to be your argument.
There has to be safeguards in place and each case treated appropriately taking into account all of the available information.

Remember that this legislation would only apply to those with less than six months to live.

It wouldn't just be a free for all.

I guess for those who haven't received Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior might be OK with that....heck, I only have 6 months to live, so, I'm my as well cash in my chips and "poof" off into non-existance.

Then again I have heard of instances where the doctor said you only have six months...or two months....and they say, "that was 10 years ago."

Yes I get that, that's why it should be the patients choice, as I've already said there would have to be experts reviewing every application using all available information and evidence.
It's not something to be taken lightly, each and every case must be thoroughly examined so that there is no avoidable unnecessary suffering for the patient.

Unless you're cremated. :funlaugh2
Cremation won’t make any difference. No one will escape justice.
Do you realise how ridiculous this is?
Any rational human being must know that's a bunch of nonsense.
Hardly. It's not ridiculous when we've already accepted the existence of a God who created a whole universe ex nihilo. Recreating the likes of you and me from scratch would be child's play to a God who can do that. God knows us.

Great...
I don't believe that your particular God did create the universe so your point doesn't stand.

Rational people will never accept that there is a God that reconstructs dead people ready for judgement, it's ludicrous.
You're making things up when there's no answer to a difficult question.

Until they realize that they can save lots of social security money pay outs if they just put them into the little chamber and close the lid. Nighty night. Sweet dreams.

What is a spirit?
Show me the evidence that supports the existence of a spirit.
What would you consider as evidence? Should I catch a spirit and put it into a jar like fireflies and show you?

Present your criteria for evidence.

I know. If you desire to study cosmology and speculate about the origin of the empty space and energy that became the Big Bang, it's a noble cause. I wish you the best.
