Not trying to be flippant or creepy but if your virgin son or daughter of say... 15 or over was infected and you know it was a slow process, would you encourage them experience as much as they could - like sex, drugs - before it was too late? I am sure parents with cancer kids face the same questions.
BTW assuming the infections may be passable by fluids, I used infected hookers as the go to platform.
This is a weird question and also really inapropriate.
Sex and drugs are the last things any parent wants their kids to do/experience, even is said kids are dying.
They just want to spend time with them and create happy memories, together!
Yeah, it's an odd question. Drug use to escape reality is never a good thing, unless used for medical reasons (e.g. during surgery, etc.). Loose sex isn't a positive thing either, as testified by the sexual diseases (including fatal ones) and untold mental pain caused & spread by it.
shareThats true but getting bit by a zombie changes things. Getting hooked on heroin or pills isn't such a bad thing when you only have a month to live anyways. Same thing with getting an STD, if I was dead in a month why should I care?
shareThanks for the feedback.
RE: "Getting hooked on heroin or pills isn't such a bad thing when you only have a month to live anyways."
That depends on the ideology of the individual: Is it preferable to die as a drug-addled addict who weakly seeks to escape reality or is it better to wisely seek Ultimate Reality & boldly go into the Great Unknown?
RE: "Same thing with getting an STD, if I was dead in a month why should I care?"
That kind of thinking is valid only IF life on this temporal plane is all there is and there's no such thing as moral absolutes, universal good and evil. Deep inside we all know the truth, but we suppress it with so many things, like the two we're talking about here.

Oh I 100% agree , doing a bunch of drugs and having tons of sex with anyone are probably not the choices I would make were I in Maggie's shoes. If this is it and when you die your conscious ceases to exist and there are no ultimate consequences then I would definitely be getting high and having alot of sex. I happen to believe in the Christian God and would like to think I wouldn't go down that path. I imagine many other ideologies besides Christianity or any religion at all would agree its better to spend your last few weeks upholding the same morals they would have you live by.
