question
If you could be a Scythe, would you do it? Why or why not?

In Scythe, the role of the Scythe comes with immense power and responsibility — you get to decide who lives and who dies in a world where death has been virtually eradicated. It’s an incredible concept, but it also comes with moral and emotional struggles. Some might see it as a necessary role in a future without natural death, while others would find it hard to bear the weight of such decisions.
So, if you were given the option to become a Scythe, would you take on the job? Would you be able to follow the Scythe code of impartiality and detachment, or would the power and responsibility prove too much? Share your thoughts!

Honestly, no. I understand the fear of not wanting to die or always being on the lookout for a scythe coming to kill you. But I am a person who values friendships and relationships heavily, and I don't think I could really enjoy living such a long life without a companion. So me personally, I'd not take the job. Plus, I'm not a violent person.
