    Forever suffering. Everlasting pain. Infinite torment. Immortal.

    Immortality, doesn't mean... Invincibility.

    Immagine... Crushed by a rock, and being paralyzed... You can't move, you're just a vegetable, laying on your bed. Forever. Or maybe, a disease, one that eats away at you, and causes you suffering. Suffering you cannot stop. Until your just a skellaton, unable to move. They lay you in your coffin, unknowing of your living, and you live the rest of eternity, alone, deep in the darkness.

    Horrific. Terrifying. Frightening. Immortality.

    If you're immortal, but not invulnerable, it means you can still die from injuries, illnesses, and so forth.

    The point of immortality is living forever. It means you don't die.

    Well if it meant always being in good health and not aging, sure. Although it would have it's downfalls.

    Highlander, he lives forever at like 30 years old. In his 30's and doesnt get older physically in demise just gets older and stays in the same health.
    So we are talking everyone simply no longer aging? Yes, I would like that very much. Sure there's still a chance at dying, accidents happen, but there are so many things I want to do in my life I just don't see that I'll have enough time to do them all. It would be nice to be able to make a list and check them off. 20 years as an Opera singer. Another 20 as a painter. Lets see... what's left? Everything! And now I have the time! Awsome!

    Yes, I would want to live forever. I'd do a whole list of horrible things to get immortality too. Except kill a kitty, that's just overboard

    Err... maybe. I don't know.

    As long as I live past sixty, then I think that I would be happy enough.

    Suffering ends at a point. I'd prefer to keep it that way. (Unless MILF's predictions are true, but I'm not so faithful in humanity as he is.)

    No, I would not want to live forever (in the stand point of living here on Earth) I agree with *~Dagger Trepe~*.
    We are not meant to live forever. I know many on here would argue with me though.

    Decessus- technically correct, but every example I have ever seen has drawn a distinction between immortality (No natural death, but death from trauma and the like still being possible) and invulnerability (No damage taken from anything, and thus no death at all).

    I'm not optimistic that we'll solve Humanity's problems - moreover if we do new ones always arise anyway - but we suffer in a limited existence anyway, yet not many of us kill ourselves over it. My point is that we can make ourselves far better, and have the choice of when to die in large part, rather than being subject to the universe's whimsy.

    Yes, but only if those I care for could live forever aswell.
    And I'm talking about no natural death, not being invulnerable.

    Meh, I don't really know if I'd want to live forever. At this point in my life, I'd have to say heck no, but a few years from now I might be singing a different tune. I suppose it all depends on the circumstances. I mean, would I age at all? Would I be in a constant state of pain? Forever is a long time, I would probably get bored after a while, knowing me.

    Weeeeeeee!!!
