You hear a lot about defending against the zombie apocalypse...I think I would just go ahead and join them. They seem like a serene, if hungry, bunch and I feel like my issues wouldn't carry over. Thoughts?

An unusual topic... as such I quite like it and been thinking of how to respond for the last couple of hours. I am a bit of a zombie genre fan.

On a personal level I do not to the best of my ability harm other creatures... I got mighty pissed off the other night for example while in hospital (on home leave at the moment) one of the male night staff freaked out at a rather large spider on the floor and stood on it. Had I been given time, I would have got a beaker, some paper and escorted it outside.

As such, to become a zombie to me would lead to the inevitable conclusion that despite lack of brain function and consciousness during that state... I would be striving to harm others, so I would avoid becoming infected as best I could and strive to help others survive too.

Nor would I relish the idea of killing zombies as that would go against my above principle... bit of a conundrum.

With that said, being depressed (amongst other things) and all of the baggage that comes with it... including a lack of in date medication or qualified psychiatric help (sure they would be depleted and zombified as much as any other profession) I'd most likely end up screwed which ever way I looked at it... so could be a moot point.

I find it delighting how carefully and logically you approach the suggestion of a zombie apocalypse.
enjoyed reading both suggestion and answer…

um, well one other thing comes to my mind… if I were to think about myself becoming a zombie or fighting them I'd have a whole different problem.
zombies are (kind of) dead but still show some sort of will to move and harm people so they seem to have more energy that would be due to being dead. now for me right now the exact opposite is true. so where does this get me becoming a zombie?
I guess lack of energy being alive and abundance of energy being dead added, what would that make me- simply dead?

would I chose to run because I would want to avoid having to move and do things even after I were dead? or would I not run because of laziness? -really can't decide.
