I'm a pretty healthy person...so far, so if I were living through the Middle Ages, I would've been alright.

Although it wasn't until 18 that I discovered Penance...

Yeah.....I tend to do that around here often either through stupidity, making logic bomb concepts or through grammatical confusions. Sometimes even a combination of the three! (Those are the best.)

I'm not sure how I would have been, I guess it depended on where I lived and how I was raised :shrug: .

Given that about half of all children back then didn't live to their 5th birthday and most people barely saw 40 (if they were lucky), probably not long. The only problem I had as a kid was bronchitis from second hand cigarette smoke... but if I were in Europe in the Middle Ages that wouldn't be an issue (since tobacco is still in America).

I would be King of the Moon, watching the puny people of Earth struggle to live day to day.

I would be dead last year at 20-21 ish. Due to a lack of food my body can handle safely without getting sick + tons of other medical conditions. A single cut would have led to a wound that would be incapable of healing, from there it would be just a matter of time for an infection under the skin which would be hard if not impossible to treat. Then death.

I would die by the time I was 4. Get hit by a wagon, probably wouldn't be able to have my wounds treated back then.

I have Fraser's Syndrome which has given me a number of physical differences and a few internal problems

I would've died at birth, in fact, given the way I look the priest who helped birth me would've probably considered me some demon possessed child and killed then and there. :(

Lol. I had something similar. When I was 10, I had a brick thrown at my head. Don't even remember what happened after that.

So maybe in the Middle Ages I would have died.

I would never have been born. I asphyxiated during the delivery and had to be resuscitated. I'm only alive due to the meddling of modern medicine.

I'd be alive, and probably not nearsighted as I wouldn't be playing video games or reading nearly as often (yes, that was determined cause). All injuries I've had could've been avoided as well. I do have a severe peanut allergy, but my ancestry traces me back to barbaric Germany where peanuts don't naturally grow, so an allergy to a food nobody in my family would have been exposed to is very unlikely. Considering the rest of my genes and my physical stature, I would've made a nice, agile warrior.

I had my appendix removed about 5 years ago in an emergency surgery. So I probably wouldn't have lived this long. :twirl:

Tell me about it. Translating my name means Scribe and Slayer of Men. I can only imagine what we did to earn that title (Scribe is what my given name translates as). That's just on the European side. I have no idea what my first nations names are, or where they stopped being native and became European. Probably something as equally badass, and if not? I can always fall back on that awesome name.
