Life and Death decision

This may seem silly, but trust me, I'm going somewhere with this!

If alliens came to earth and offered everyone who wants to accept, a life span of 200 years + plenty of money + a good life + healthy body and brain of a 30 year old + your friends and family could join you.

But the aliens want one thing. After 200 years of a great life, you die a peaceful and painless death. They ship your body back to their home planet where you are eaten.

This is not a deal-with-the devil with hidden consequences or anything like that. It is just what it says.

Sure why not..though I'd prefer the brain of a 60 year old..

I'd do it.

I voted yes by mistake. I meant to vote no. My reason has nothing to do with not wanting to have my dead body eaten because I want my dead body eaten, just not by aliens on some alien world. I want the Flora and fauna that I've eaten all my life to have their turn with me. A long life and tons of money is in no way a guarantee of a happy life. I grew up in a well to do family and let me tell you, there was no joy in my family. Stress and yelling over nothing was a daily occurrence.

There’s SOOOOOOO much life to explore on this vast planet (and beyond!!) that 200y may not be enough time to do so but I’d jump on the opportunity to explore in a heart beat! Besides Europa is my girl!! I just know she has life on her and I don’t want to die before knowing for sure!

Why would I care what happens to my body when I am dead?!? If buried, the worms eat it...worms, aliens, what's the dif?

Nothing I would object to in that.

It sounds good to me. I get eaten after I die? Go ahead. I just rocked it with my peeps for one helluva long party.

I can't imagine having to live that long. The horrors you'd witness

Not sure the life span is the draw here, but if you're saying no 'tricks' then i'm all for a better life.
Heck, just being in less pain each day and a little more travelling cash would clinch it for me.
What'll I care what happens to me after I'm dead?

Fine by me, but I don't see it happening.

200 years? Sounds redundant.
