    Id absolutely LOVE to live forever. Of course i would. All the things id see...the changes on this planet...all the people id encounter. Theres just not enough time in one lifetime. I want to taste every taste, smell every smell, hear every idea about life, see every country...

    Obviously though if i ever found myself having to spend centuries being tortured in warcamps or remaining the sole survivor of a nuclear war or something id end it all. But id have to be in a HUGE amount of pain for a very long time.

    Anyway, who knows? Perhaps we already have lived "forever", or perhaps we will.

    Xx

    sometimes. the idea of dieing and not knowing whats going to happen is kind of a scary thought, and i dont wanna really experience that, but i know that if i were to live forever, i would end up being miserable, seeing everyone i know growing old and dieing before my eyes, always having to readjust to make new friends that will just pass again and again for eternety...i'd rather just live a good life with the time given to me

    Maybe 2000 years or so . . . And then, THEN i'd let myself go. Just cause I'm curious.

    It would depend. I would perhaps like to live longer than I would otherwise, but not if I was to get old and decrepit, or become immobile, or to get a chronic, debilitating disease. I think for me to live forever would be irrational.

    If I found out I was immortal, I'd kill myself.

    I would never like to live forever.
    I think by 80 or so years I'll have had enough of human experience, time to move on...

    Dude believe me, you do not want to live forever.
    That is possibly the worst curse any living creature can recieve.

    Well, to me this is a choice between life and non-existance.

    Life, or oblivion? Which would you choose? Personally, I think that any nearly any kind of existance is preferable to the alternative.

    Granted, if my every living moment was torture, then perhaps I'd think about ending it, but by and large, life is good. Death may be part of life, but if it was a part I could choose to sidestep, I would.

    i wouldn't mind, but i'll settle for serial mortality with a little r&r in something resembling the tibetan bardo in between. as if any of that was up to me. or all of us. singly or severaly. but just on the off chance it is - sure.

    i'll agree the life i'm living now might get old, but i can think of a lot of other lives i'd love to live for ever, some of which i may already have, or even currently be in some parallel context.

    the way the world most of my dreams take place in is i wouldn't mind living forever in at all.

    and since all things chainge, even in this world, well forever or not forever, i'd sure like to have the body of 12 years old, the wisdome of 40 or 50, and to live tangibly, somewhere arround 150 to maybe even 3 or 4 hundred years.

    our allotted 60 to 90 years just ain't long enough to witness all of the kinds of chainges i'd love to live long enough to see for myself
