If you were asked before you were born whether you wnna come to the world or not

[SoldierofFortune]

just suppose...now that we are talking with ''if'' questions : )

[Mike Cl]

Depends--what are my other choices??????

[Baruch]

It has been imagined before .. that we know our whole lives as angels, before we volunteer .. but then an angel makes a mark beneath the nose, that causes us to forget everything before we become humans.  This is explored in a secular way, in the movie Baby Geniuses.

I'd wait a couple hundred years, but yeah.  Existing and taking part in neat stuff sorta beats the alternative.

[drunkenshoe]

But what kind of an experience or information do I have to make the decision before I was born?

Oh God, if there ever were a movie to make you lose faith in the human species...

@OP, I like my life, so I think I would've chosen to come into it.

(Could've done without The years of puberty though.)

[Munch]

If there was I choice I'd have opted for tanned skin, amazingly light and long hair that would last all my life, good genetics, and being well endowed.

How do you know what the alternative is?

[The Skeletal Atheist]

Depends, do I get a choice where I'm born? Can I chose my sexuality? Can I chose my race? Sex? Socioeconomic status?

I hit the lottery with white American male, but damn I missed out on the straight and rich part.
