Immortality, Would you?, page 1

I agree with you personally. I don't think I would ever grow tired of "this". Mainly because a life time, Hell even a hundred life time's isn't enough time to discover half the things I want to.

Plus the world is constantly learning new things, So even if at some point I knew EVERYTHING, There would still be room to learn.

I've had this discussion with my brother before, And he always brings up the point "What would you do after the Earth ceases to exist". My innocent answer has always been "explore the universe!" Would I be willing to trade in my family and friends for the chance to see things no human has ever seen? Yes.

But don't get it twisted, I'm not evil. I'm a realist. My family and friends will die eventually, As I currently will as well. That's nature. I don't believe it's selfish to want to live forever, If it's only natural to die.

Absolutely i would, no hesitation whatsoever.

Think of the pain of your family seeing you getting old and dying. I'd love the chance to be around when my family is old. Ideally of course, they'd all come along for the ride.

I enjoy your outlook! The counter of your family and children seeing YOU age, has never crossed my mind in thinking this. Hmm. Gives me something to think about =)

Yeah but if you are immortal, you could start working your whole life in making inventions that can make people live longer and maybe even reverse the aging process. Remember we can with an eternity. Also if we are immortal after a long time, there is a possibility we will become accustomed to accepting people dying around us, because it has become such a natural things for hundreds of thousands of years.

This is very true, But would you want others to be immortal with you? If all things were immortal you have two options. World peace, YAY! Or A race to find some sort of way to kill the other guy, Of Which I would assume would be insanely painful and drawn out.

As far as becoming accustomed to people dying, I suppose you are right. But would you want to be 100 percent okay with people dying? I don't think I would feel human any more if I was okay with it. But on the other hand, If I was immortal I guess I wouldnt really be human anyway.

Oh, yes.

I would live forever, even if it was just my cut-off head, sitting on a shelf.

I am easily amused...and I expect I will always be curious about whatever the hell is going to happen next...

Yes! Think of all the wrong doing you can fix of humanity if you are immortal. TPTB, NWO, war on terror all can be fixed by me by first learning the situation and then apply the knowledge of my enemies. I would be remember forever since I am eternal. No suffering for humanity if you can gain centuries of knowledge and cure cancer, make aids a thing of the past and finally have stability once and for all. The possiblilites are endless and just think\ing about it makes me froth in the mouth . In seriousness though it would be a price worth paying if immortality can be achieved.
