Nah. Unless everyone I care about could share the luxury (curse?) and we would all maintain our youthfulness.

Yes I would want to live forever.


Don't know why exactly.

Maybe I would look more at life and society as an outsider. As in the course of time everything around me would change.
I would be an observer.

The world, society and the mistakes of mankind is an awesome spectacle if you are on the front row.

Naw, not unless I was an all powerful, ruthless leader, with no way of being put out of power.

i would take the time to visit every square inch of the world, sail every ounce of the ocean floor, find atlantis and the holy grail, meet every single person in the world, drive every car, play every bass, visit every store...pretty much there would be a time where i would hit boredom...well, a forever boredom

Both good arguments to take in account.

With immortality has to come some kind of invulnerability and some minimal living comfort.
And I prefer some anonimity instead of what crimson_basser suggests.


I'd sign on a "Dorian Gray" deal within a heartbeat.


How would that work these days? A JPEG of yourself posted on Photobucket that gets constantly photoshopped?

For sure, I would love to know what happens next with society, see the technological advancements of future generations, I want to see the evolution of music and to see how much info my brain can take before exploding.

Depends.

For one i would want to be about 28 during this forever time, a good healthy young age, right now i am 20 but i know brian development continues to 25-ish. Also forever is really questionable, what if the plant was completely blown to pieces some how would you just float around in space?

Also would you have needs for food? would you feel hunger pain etc

I would find being able to live like a vampire better. You can die but not from old age.

I would live forever, and live in pursuit of knowledge. As time goes by, you cannot learn things as fast as new things to be learned are created, so I would guess you could never get bored.

It would be really cool to see the last moments of sun,expand and scorch the earth,then being cast out to the space with its supernova to float forever!

No.

Have you ever played a video game with all the cheats enabled so that you have unlimited life/health/money/ammo/time/etc ? Sure, it's fun for a while, but you can't play like that forever. #$!@ gets stale.

I'd spend an awful long time waiting to die. I mean eventually you would yearn to not be an outsider and have attachments to people who would age before you and die, and unless you were one stone cold apathetic mutha, you would not be able to handle it. So.....not a chance.

Depends. If my apperance didn't change, sure. And I'd only agree to it as long as I died when the next to last human was dead as well. I want to see the end, but no more
