if someone was dying and they asked you to kill them, would you do it?

I'm going to guess you don't have a lot of friends

Friends don't exist in my position.

Anyway, why are you contemplating a mercy killing?

I'm a doctor. most people around here are several centuries behind me. wanted to see people's opinions on it.

The future? What year?

2258

Well. That is a bit in the future.

a good two centuries ahead of most of the technology here. it's a pain in the ass.

Leaving you thus in the awkward position of knowing what exists but being unable to build it?

basically. people here still use stitches, for god's sake.

...what do you use?

dermal regenerator. it accelerates the growth of the cells.

Huh. You might want to harvest the spit of the vampires here. I think it contains something like that.

I've got my dermal regenerater with me.

...or that.

Are there hoverboards yet?

everyone asks that. that or flying cars.

but yeah, and I get plenty of people in the ER because of them

Well, they ought not seek to operate things they are poorly skilled at. At least it keeps you employed?

there are plenty of other things keeping me employed

Like what? Aliens?

among other things
