A hundred years, tops. In a thousand years we'll have reprogrammed the very matter of the universe to our own desires.
I disagree with *~Dagger Trepe~*, not because of objecting to her religion but simply to say that I'm quite certain a being as powerful as God would be capable of bringing you before him to face your eternal judgement sooner or later, and that there's already vast differences in the lifespans of many people - some live to be more than 100, some less than a month. Why do some people get so much longer to prove their worth (Or alternatively, why must some people fight temptation for so much longer)?
To answer the questions "What would life be if you didn't die? What would you live for?"

Like Mr. MILF says, society is constantly advancing, and just keeping up would be difficult enough for an immortal being. Unless civilisation comes to a very abrupt halt, there's very little chance of seeing everything that this planet (and indeed, others planets) has to offer. And if that did happen, you could always go around insulting every living being in alphabetical order. :D
No. Good thing I won't too!
That's true...I don't know. But I know that God's out there somewhere...
No. It'd be horrible to watch everybody that I loved die and then have to continue my life alone. Eeee. :(
When people say they would be sad that all their love one's would die and they would be sad, they keep forgetting you can love people again. But no, I wouldn't want to live forever. People live to die. So you would live your life to the best, if you couldn't die, life would be a waste of time, eventually you would have no reason to live, then the thought that you couldn't die no matter how much you would want to escape would destroy you.
And you would only get to live longer with that torment.
:greenie:
I disagree with all the people saying they will only live if their friends and family can. In my opinion, half the point of life (besides what *~Dagger Trepe~* said) is that we don't know what will happen. Every day is new, different things happen every day, and it is these variations that make life worth living, even if those variations include friends and family dying. Some of you seem to want to live forever, but in a static world in which nothing changes. In my opinion, that takes out the whole point of life altogether.
On that note, I would not want to live forever. Not because I would miss family and friends, but because I don't believe I would enjoy an endless existence in this world. Sure, it'd be nice if life were a little longer, but infinite? No thanks.
I'd only want to live forever if everyone close to me could also live forever.
Nope, It'd be too irritating.. I'd rather end it as soon a humanly possible. Too many annoying people that just seem to be getting worse.
I've been thinking about this (no idea why this thread over all the others stuck in my mind), if I can live forever with someone, then I'd do it. And I know who it would be with.
I would want to be immortal if my life goes well (which isn't really), but if everything is all ruined...yeah I'll kill myself instead
I reiterate; when immortality actually comes around, it's not going to be just one person who sees use of it, barring a worldwide totalitarian state. You wouldn't have to watch everyone around you die, because they will also live forever.Quote:

Oh, and all the people saying "Why would anyone want to live forever, one life is already too much and terribly, terribly painful and I'm like a woman who messed with Sir Topham Hat's kool-aid and chicken is how much it hurts", you ARE aware that you can ALREADY end this depthless suffering, yes?
