I'd take the one million up front and schedule a day for the cure to be administered to me, but in all excitement of receiving said cure I would forget to make it to the appointment.

I'd hack my balls off for $1 million. I've already paid $250 to partially deactivate them, getting paid a "retire right now" sum to go the rest of the way sounds like a steal of a deal. :)

Nah.
Not that we don't need the money, but I have nothing to be cured from.

Where I'm going, I could very well make that money exactly as I am. My personality, which has done me well thus far, is not for sale.

Although the value of your blood wasn't very high to begin with and has depreciated some since there are now synthetic alternatives. ;)

I guess it would depend for me... People who come into a windfall, even millions, usually just waste it. I'm pretty certain that I could be an exception (as there are some exceptions), but it's still a concern. I would want to be certain (as much as possible) that the "cure" in my case would not only give me at least average social skills and at the same time not deteriorate my other cognitive functions, which have always tested out very high throughout school, on the ASVAB, etc. If the "cure" only fixed the cause of my poor social skills but didn't actually repair my social skills (imo more likely), then it would be even more important for me to be certain that it wouldn't deteriorate my other cognitive abilities and I'd be much less likely to take it in general, irrespective of the money. But I don't consider a "cure" patently good or bad -- to me it's a somewhat neutral idea because the end results are kind of ambiguous. I'd have to know what the specific end results would be in order to really judge whether it's something I want to do.

I rather pass, being myself is no 50mph carosel(yea i made that up, but that would be fun, heck going in circles that fast i looove), but its been me this long, and changing it now would rather being taking the cowardly way out in my case that is.

I'm with you, Chica!
I am twice as old as you and I agree that changing how I am now would rather be anti-climactic. No, I'll pass on the cure and besides, the OP doesn't have a million dollars.

Forget the $M1, I'd happily trade 50% of my remaining life for it - and be delirious that I'd gotten the deal of the century.

It would be pointless for me. The cure would take all of the fun out of what I'd do with the money. An NT version of me would probably spend it all on status symbols

I'll pass. I would have nothing exciting to spend a million dollars on as an NT.
