Which would be your LAST choice? a. You could never again have sexual relations of any kind with another person. b. You could never listen to music of any sort. (If it was incidental to something, like a movie soundtrack, that would be allowed. But no music for music's sake.) c. You could never again use a computer (or word processor) for any reason. d. You could never again watch TV, or a movie, for any reason. Should some new technology replace TV or movies, you couldn't watch that, either. e. You could never eat or drink anything you like, again. Your diet would consist entirely of water and nutritious but nearly inedible food, such as unseasoned tofu, and supplemental pills. (You could consume alcohol, but just straight alcohol and water.) In essence, the notion of "taste" would disappear. f. You could never speak a word again. g. You could never drink alcohol, or take any mind-altering substance again. You would have to remain completely sober for the remainder of your life.
