If I were diagnosed with a terminal illness, the final point on my bucket list would be getting a lobotomy. That, or some other sort of heavily-mind-altering surgery.
I am endlessly fascinated by what happens, internally, to a human who's damaged like that. Would I simply lose all desires and needs? Or would "I" instead feel trapped in my own body, as it acts on its own? Which part of my consciousness would "I" be?
