Would You Shave A Year Off Your Life If It Meant You Could Have A Perfect Body?

According to a recent survey done by the University of the West of England and U.K. eating disorder charity The Succeed Foundation, 16 percent of women would take a year off their lifespan in exchange for having perfect body. Does that sound crazy to you? Or would you go for it, too?
When I first read these statistics, I thought Well, 16 percent isn't a lot. Then I started thinking that 16 percent of those women would rather not be alive for a year than deal with their cellulite or whatever it is they're self-conscious about. And I got really sad.
But maybe a year off your life in exchange for the perfect body seems totally reasonable to other people. So let's find out. Would you make this trade? Sound off below.
And speaking of big questions...
