If you continue to age as you do now, with all the complications aging brings with it, I would not want that. Can you imagine what you would even smell like at 1000 years old.

Absolutely not. I think knowing that I'm going to die helps me decide how to live.

As long as I could take the option of ending my life later, yes. Immortality would let me discover so much, and this universe... you could spend billions of years exploring it and not get bored.

Oh no I really have had enough, already! wouldnt want to do this again! I seriously like the idea of getting off!

Yes, just to be able to learn all I can. The possibilities of space travel....

Sounds good to me!

Assuming quality of life can be maintained, sure

No, I don't think I want to overstay my welcome here. The things you do in life have meaning because you will eventually die.

I’m amused by some of these responses. Okay. We’re trained to accept our own mortality, but we also live within the sandbox of this world where anything you put your mind to is possible.

Many of you think we’ll keep looking like prunes and be as frail and brittle as people who reach elderly age get.

I’ve Seen a few elderly bodybuilders in this era, an old man who has a body of a 30-year old and a black grandmother with a body of someone likely half her age. If age is a mindset and you can reinvent yourself at any age, why can’t science do the same?

We have fields of science dedicated to defying all aspects of the aging process from extending the natural life span to defying the physical aging process in the skin and hair.

Our potential for greatness has just begun and seeing the advancement of technology in the distant future. Wouldn’t any of you like to experience some hope of deep space travel? Most of us won’t love to see that because we haven’t figured out how to break space and time. even if we do, there’s many variables that can cause disaster.

We grew up when humanity continues to dream of exploration and many of us won’t live to see anywhere near the potential we can achieve.

Think of all the careers you can do and be if your life could be expanded?

Even still, does trying live the complete natural way come from some notion that we not upset some natural order? Where do you draw the line? We’ve been messing with Mother Nature since our existence. We even managed to find a way to synthetically clone our own cells and other life forms bypassing the birthing process?

If you can live near forever short of an accident and retain your youth, why wouldn’t you take it? What’s to say that choice couldn’t be extended to your loved ones? At least if we had the choice, wouldn’t it be too tempting to pass up?

No chance

probably, maybe. More likely just a bit longer and healthier, I htink I would get bored after a while.

NO! I can think of no greater punishment.

If I could live with at least my current physical ability and have good quality of life, absolutely.

Yes, it would always be possible to commit suicide later if it didnt work out.

Yes, it would always be possible to commit suicide later if it didnt work out.

One thing is for sure. Anyone who wants to live forever does not believe they are going to heaven.

No.

That would be a curse.

Yes, not even a question. I'm already looking.

Yes!
Some people say if they can have "youth", "quality of life", etc -
Provided that my time is infinite (granted by the immortality), the other things I will achieve with time.

Nope.

Probably. Even knowing that one day I might get so bored that I want to kill myself... at least I'd have that option. Oh, and a 20-year old body (Jealous of Youth).

Yes, no questions, don't mind the semantics, the answer is yes.

If I could afford it-would we still have Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security?

Move to Amarillo,Texas. It will feel like forever.
