    Not when you realise that you would be completely without the aid of modern medicine. A simple infection could kill you in a matter of days.

      Yes, and I think that’s outweighed by an overall much happier life.

      In my country, about a fifth of people have been diagnosed with depression. You must realise that evolution would never have allowed this in the natural state, since the motivationlessness would lower the chances of survival significantly. I think only this high risk of depression is already worse than this comparatively low risk of death.
