Would you take the pill if it made you temporarily invulnerable

General topic: The term paper is a critical and argumentative essay, that is, a paper in which you consider a philosophical issue or question, criticize one view of the issue, and argue for your own position on the issue.

Specific assignment: Read A Fragile Life and answer this question: If you could take a pill that would allow you to become invulnerable (in Todd May’s sense) would you take it? Why or why not? Give the reasons for and against taking the pill and explain why you would or would not take it. Would you take the pill if it made you temporarily invulnerable? Would you take the pill if it made you invulnerable for a lifetime? Would it be better to take a pill for instant invulnerability or would it be better to gradually become invulnerable through Buddhist or Stoic practice?
