I really get scared of the idea of going blind. Like blindness scares me a lot, being in the dark forever...
But not as much as losing my hands in an accident would. At least a blind man can use walking sticks and guide dogs and stuff. A man without hands can never be self sufficent.
I saw a woman a while ago who got attacked by a pet chimp, in case you didnt know chimp attacks are ghastly, chimps go for peoples weak points, it gouged out here eyes, tore her face off and mauled her hands. If I couldnt see and had no use of my hands Id say just shoot me, but we live in a world where euthenasia is illegal and I dont know if I could put it on a family or friend to make them kill me... So being that woman is the scariest thing I can think of.
I suppose severe disability scares me because I put so much stock and self esteem into what I can do.
