Would you want to live forever?

[Loony BoB]

Sure, so long as I can stay fit and also have the people I love and care about also live forever, I don't see why not.

[KentaRawr!]

Perhaps I would. I should look into that.

[The Hubsta]

I'd hate to live for ever as after a couple of billion years, the world wouldn't exist and I'd just be floating around in space wishing I was dead. I guess it would be good if you could chose when you die, if that's what you mean.

It would be cool to live forever, it sucks to see all your loved ones die but if you think about. It sounds kinda cool. Eternal youth... I would want to live forever.

I would honestly do it. I love fantasy worlds and to imagine myself in past events of history . I would love to live in times that later on would be considered history. I could realy define my character. I would find reasons and people to get attached to , to help give their and my life more meaning and when they died I would be inside rewarded for my relationship with them. I would be very wise and helpfull and if the world was going to end Id be one of the best people to ask for help to try to save it.

[The Unknown Guru]

Nah. Who needs eternal life when you have reincarnation?

[I Am Stoner]

Yes I would want to live forever, I have my own reasons. But I would only want to live forever if the one I loved could too.

[Vikeve]

Never! I would never want to liev forever dont get me wrong i love life A LOT and im not some depressive cutter.

But someday i want ot leave this world of sin and idiots! I dont want to stay living on this mudhole of a planet.

That doesn't mean i dont love my life so dont think im emo. Love dude just love

[Madame Adequate]

I'm pretty sure "This world is terrible and I hate living here" falls under the sphere of "emo".

Now, my question.

Why do so many people think the world will never change, never improve? And that we will never go further than this world?

[lovehurts]

I think that we will milf. I improve everyday somehow.

[farplaner]

I voted yes for the same reason I voted for traveling to the future in another thread: so that I'll be able to see how everything evolves and develops over millenia and beyond. See, MILF, I do believe that things will change, and they seem to be changing faster every day (technologically speaking). I don't think we'll have mastered aging in the next few decades, though.

I think some of you guys are getting too technical with the question. Will my loved ones die? will I get sick or injured, will I float in space after the sun explodes? It's a hypothetical question! You don't need to define the parameters.

About Highlander: those guys do age. They have to kill other immortals in order to achieve the "quickening." ...anyway

Living indefinately would give me time to, for example, learn "all" languages and experience many cultures, study anything I choose to in great depth, basically just acquire a nearly limitless understanding of life, existence, humanity, etc- and, if it interests you, think of how much wealth and power you could accumulate with a few million years. The biggest check to any leader's power is lifespan.

...The possiblities are endless!
