Seems like a rather simple choice if you ask me.

There's no way to cure Diabetes.

No way to cure Schitzophrenia.

So yeah, chop my legs off and I'll go buy some new ones. :p

One of the most terrifiing things in the world would be a man with Schizophrenia and a bank account large enough to totally protect himself from his hallucinations. They can still be incredubly smart and functioning people, just not what we would call balanced.
My grandfather was a paranoid schizophrenic and an engineer. One day he took everything object in his house and dismantled all of them looking for hidden microphones, then upon finding none, put everything back together then repeated the whole processe again the next week because 'the govenment replaved all his things with identical replicas'. Thats the kind of person you don't need with $5mil.

Uhm, the sign for euro is an e that looks like this ?. That is in pounds and that is closer to 7.9 million dollars.

OT: Working out is one of my favourite hobbies so diabetes and the loss of legs would screw up that and make me miserable. Schizophrenia sounds unpleasant so I have to go with my health here.

Imagine...all that money but you can't have a cookie "shudder"

It is pretty raw deal whatever you choose. You can't put a price on your health.

No amount of money will make me happy. Sure, I won't have to worry about not paying the bills, but I'd much rather take good health over excessive wealth.

Where's the soul option? Doesn't Lucifer deal in souls any more..? D:

Also, the Devil is way more nice than God. At least you could get £5 million, when you are inflicted with one of these options, where as God will give you one, or maybe even more at once, with out the cash D:

Gain 100 million, use to fund research in each of the three fields, happily live your healthy life with two shiny new mechatronic legs.

Yeah no. I could cause myself some serious injury and claim disability benefits for the rest of my life. I wouldn't do that to myself, I like being healthy.

ED: the poll results disturb me. People would take a life of fear, confusion and misery for money?

I took the health option as it's a no brainer, but I think the number of people NOT taking the diabetes is boggling. You'd have your legs amputated first? Really? REALLY?

Yes, diabetes can be a little life limiting, but it can largely be kept under control with the terrifying tandem of Eating Right and Exercising. Oh noes!

I'll take the schizophrenia. If I had 5 million pounds I'd quickly develop schizophrenia thanks to all the drugs I'd be taking anyway. I think I'd like to experience crippling fear and paranoid delusion before committing suicide.

The real question here... would you still go through with the deal?

We both agree on Schizophrenia, but the deal is the instant banishment to another plane of existance of all politicians.

For £100,000,000 you could probably buy new legs, pancreas and brain. Getting them in and working right might be an issue, but I'm sure you could have yourself frozen until then. Maybe invest it somewhere until the treatments are ready?

Legs? HA! Who needs legs. Give me the 7,500,000 USD. ((l£ is equal to roughly 1$ 50c USD))

With that kind of money, id be more then happy to not have legs. Pretty sure my wife wouldnt be to happy about it at first, but then the 1mil USD i shove in her face would quiet her.

No amount of money is worth loosing your health for, at least to me.

anyway i really have to say isn't the Diabetes option rather tame in comparison to loosing your legs, Diabetes can be controlled (i don't know about Schizophrenia), while loosing your legs is well a hell of a lot worse.
