    Default Would you choose immortality?

    Let's pretend we were all able to choose eternal life.
    Who would actually choose that?

    It'd be cool to see the world get more and more advanced, but probably all mortal life would wane extremely quickly before our eyes.

    I would want it so I could die from getting old, but not from anything physical. As in, I couldn't die in a car crash, but I could die when I get older, just because my body gets older.

    God no. I'd hate to see everyone I've ever loved and cared about, and ever will pass away.

    I'm with JAckal. Imagine the suffering you could induce on those who have wronged you.

    Thinking of facing NANNY MANUS forever make me cry.

    Yeah, it would indeed suck, although it's an interesting fact that none of us know anytihng about an immortal life.

    Perhaps we'll forget everyone we've loved and start loving others in the future, and so on?

    I'm already guaranteed eternal life, although probably not in the way that most people think...

    I would choose an extended life, perhaps, but not an eternal one. I think it would be pretty awesome seeing the people I love and/or care about die. Then I would have more rights to be miserable, and more people would have to put up with my complaining. I really enjoy complaining, because it makes other people miserable. Plus, since I will be living an extra long time, I’d be able to implant my rancor deeper into society than most old folk ever can dream of. Kind of like some demi-god curmudgeon.
     I would then have to find the right time—at the peak of their hated for me, and before they slowly start to tolerate me—to die. Then the people affected would start to see how great the world is, and they will all be propelled into a thick, orgasmic state of euphoria. It would be like this massive self-sacrifice on my part, so a few people can be extremely happy for a couple of days. It would kind of like being a Saint in a tow truck, or something (not too sure of the definition of Saint so I shouldn’t be using that word). This sounds pretty good. I can’t wait. Where do I sign up, Peter_20?

    Please don't use sarcasm, because it's so damn hard to tell whether or not it actually is sarcasm.

    You wouldn't age physically, but mentally.

    How would a human actually look at 200 years? *shudders*

    well that means I could get alzheimer's and not even remember anything, and not even know I was immortal, which would really suck

    and they lived to be over 200 in the bible, so if you believe it, eh.
