Unwind
question
Would you rather..
I would like to know that my body is helping people after I die but I would prefer to die naturally and donate my organs than be unwound
If I had an actual choice in the matter, I have no problems with donating organs and such, but it has to be on my own terms. But since this book isn't about choice, and we know there are dangers to people who inherit certain parts of your body, I'd probably die.
die. no question. get it over with quick, rather then sit while doctors do the unwinding (aka slowly cut you up until you are all used up...which means die)
I would rather Die, Unwinding is just wrong on so many levels
i rather die.. this book gives me the creeps.. i swear i have had nightmares lol
Oh Hayden... you are so intense! Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about it, probably I would find a way to escape, but if I didn't stand a chance I would play the plan B: to die on my own terms, probably with poison or something like that, but not before I had fought, then I would do it in the Chop Shop.
So... I would rather die.
So... I would rather die.
When I die I want to be an organ donor but I'm one of those people that only do things on my own terms therefore I would rather die than be forced to be unwound.
Another person with no problem donating organs (after I'm dead). But would I rather be unwound or die... I'd rather die. That part of the book (and I'm sure you all know what part I mean) freaked the heck out of me. No thank you...
Ew of course die. To have your limbs ripped apart piece by piece is just inhumane and to have your brain put in someone else's is just creepy. Of course, if I had a choice I'd choose neither.
I would only want to be unwound if I was going to die anyway. I would rather die in the circumstances the characters in the book were in. If I were dying from an illness that didn't really affect most of me, yeah, sure, unwind me.

Die. I've registered as an organ donor anyways. But I'm seventeen right now, and if I had to be unwound now or a few years before, just... I can't even imagine it.
I rather die. Although being unwound sort of have meaningful reasons, donating organs should be on choice and not by force.
And I find it creepy to see myself as being alive unwholly - I mean I'm alive with my own parts, i can't seriously consider that as the kind of situation I'd like to be. As well as having other body parts that are having some little (other) life in them inside me... no freaking way!

I would rather have my life mean something than to have died without a purpose. If that means being unwound I am okay with it. You dont get much choice in dying anyways (unless its suicide). However, unwinding means my parents chose to give me up instead of them having no choice if i died.
If I actually had to choose I would rather die . If people needed my organs I would want them to get them when im dead not alive . An unwind is someone who dies alive and people take all their organs away .... I would want to be dead if they took away my organs .... What kind of parents would want that though .....
I would rather die, why should people be allowed to unwound me.. Its like murder except they are drugging you the whole time while they cut you apart! So gross!:( Yeah I'd rather die, then donate my organs, at least then that wouldn't be the last thing I remember..
I, for a fact, know that it doesn't hurt to be unwound isn't painful at all.
But being unwound would make your body parts be on another person, doing who knows what. Your brain for example; Cy went all crazy because he had a section of his brain replaced with an unwound's brain.
In conclusion I would rather die!

I would rather die as well. I have no problems with organ donation, but the uncertainty of what happens and slow loss of consciousness would be too horrifying.
I definately wouldn't want to die, but Connor and them make unwinding sound so scary. I'm indecisive. Have you guys read Unwholly yet?
I have absolutely no problem donating organs to help another human in need, but I would rather die. You're awake the whole time and then different parts of your brain are still alive in different bodies thinking you are still the same person but with non or little control over the body your brain lives in!
If I had part of a different persons brain within my skull, that contained memories, would be terrible. Not saying that memories are bad, but it can be really hard to deal with some of our own memories at times if we have a bad experience, such as a break up. Your brain has stored memories, which can be good and happy to think about, then after the relationship ends, happy thoughts can be bad ones and can be tough to cope with.

As others have said, I have no problem with donating my organs after I'm dead, I'm an organ donor, but I would rather die than be unwound. I would not want to be taken apart piece by piece and be completely aware of what was happening to me!
As I posted on another discussion board, this book encouraged me to be an organ donor. That way I can do my part to prevent the need for harvesting organs out of children who had no choice.
Die. It's too scary to still be alive but in a whole nother body that's not even your own.
die. why would you wnt to live in another persons body, especially them being anonymous and more then one person.... how would you experience all those feelings at once since youre still technically 'alive' when youre unwound? it would be terrible, never being able to be independant.
idk what "unwound" means (haven't read the book) but from previous discriptions dying sounds better
In a reality like the one in the book, I would rather just die. While I am an organ donor and I'm willing to donate anything anyone wants after my death, I would object to supporting a horrible system like that. Particularly since the doctors no longer know how to fix the human body; they only know how to replace the things that no longer work.
I would rather die. Not because I don't want my organs and what not to be donated, but I'd rather they waited until I'm like done with them than take them while I'm still alive. The way it was described by Roland in the book, I don't think I would want to go through that. I literally started to tear up when I read that part. Plus I would not appreciate still being concious in a body that isn't truly mine. I mean I wouldn't want to know what someone does with my hands, arm, ear, whatever! Lol I don't want to know!
I wouldnt mind helping people, but do it because the "law" states that people can rip you apart as long as your "alive" Thats a little more abstract than donating an organ. I would rather die.
I think I'd rather die!
Look at Cy-Fy.....the boy in his head still thought he was alive!
I wouldn't want to be alive in pieces. That's just Hell in it's own right!

I have no problem with giving organs but i would rather die on my own terms, i mean i know you cant really control your death naturally, but still the thought of someone strapping you down and taking you apart makes me cringe and shiver all over, so im going to have to say DIE!
die. for one thing, being unwound is dying but worse. and for another, i wouldn't want someone else controlling my parts, weather i knew it or not!
I would rather die than have the government unwind me against my own will!
Die. Not that I don't want to donate my organs. That is totally fine with me. But being conscious and feeling myself being torn apart, while not feeling it, not even really seeing it, and having the people around me acting like it's normal - I can pass that up.
That's a hard question and the characters in the book had the same converstation i believe. For me, i would rather die because being unwound is just so twisted; sure, you're still "alive" but i don't want to be alive like that! But for sure, i will become an organ donor so this doestn't have happen!!!

The thing is, I would be happier if they just killed us and donated the organs, because it said that CyFi and that boys brain and the boy still thought he was alive and it totally screwed him up. So my opinion is that if I actually died during the unwinding process, I would choose to be unwound, but since you are still conscious i would choose to die
Die. Because I would rather someone shoot me through the heart than have someone unwind me while i am still alive. and after readin rowland's pov on that, i could not bare it. plus the thought of anyone else having a part of me kind of makes me sick.
