Poll: If you could live forever would you?

[Poomanchu745]

And by forever I mean until the universe collapsed on itself and the universe as we know it ended. Or maybe that won't happen and you actually live forever hopping from planet to planet terraforming them. But now im getting off topic.

Anyways...would you want to live forever or a normal life? I think even though I would rather live longer than a normal life if I could stay at peak physical shape forever is just ridiculous. I think after about 500 years I would probably just want to kill myself and it wouldn't work.

TACO'S FOREVER!

I'd love eternal life, until the sun exploded. Unless we find other life, then I'll be good. I also assume eternal youth, otherwise no go.

You can watch the steady degradation of the human race if you lived forever, up until the point they wipe themselves out.

Being a Time Lord would be all kinds of awesome, but I think I'd prefer maybe a handful of centuries of being twenty-something and then an appropriately epic exit strategy.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to live forever. The state of the world is already descending at an alarmingly fast rate, I would hate to see it in 500 years or something like that. Also, if some dumbass triggers WW3, I do not want to live through it...

I'd take immortality in a bloody heartbeat. It would be fascinating to watch the world progress. Not to mention, aging scares the hell out of me.

 

[RobotNinja]

I'd probably start my own religion

i could easily live forever, im mentally sound and im easily amused, if games are still around why go insane?, and if theres a nifty apocalypse then awesome i get to see what really happens.

 

[CowboyfromHell666]

I believe it would be cool to see all the shit that is going to happen in the future(the good stuff mind you, like when we actually can go and inhabit other planets, and we FINALLY get out robot butlers and flying cars). BUT, at the same time I wouldn't want to live forever. Especially if the world starts collapsing around me, and WW3 or some crazy suicidal terrorist group drops nukes on everyone. I wouldn't want to live through all of that. Plus I would out live everyone I know, and then I would be a total loner.

Normal. Death is what defines us and gives us purpose in our daily lives. Also, do you really want to be living a-ok forever while all your friends and family died?

 

[Insanum]

I'd Definately Choose immortality, As long as i look a little bit older than i do now, Say, stay 26/27 forever.

I'd then Work at being the best i can. At as much as i can.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

while immortality may be fun from an academic perspective (i'm nothing if not an anthropologist at heart), i'd prefer to live and die as my loved ones do. i already can't face the prospect of being completely alone in the world.

 

[Javelk]

I would want to live forever just to see how much I could do to "influence" the world to a design of my liking.

 

[Dancingman]

I'd like to live forever but have a way out, like I can die but only by suicide or something like that, some clever technicality that gives me something to do if I feel I have exhausted my time.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Yes, but only with eternal youth as well. I know that myth and am to genre savvy for that.

 

[Nightshine]

I'd like to live forever, living throughout the ages would be faniscating and you'd be able to see the peak of human civilisation.
Lifestyle would also change nothing would be realitive to time, I could take as long as I want to do anything. It would drive you insane after a while, realising that no matter who you know, that person will die before you no one would be able to be a life partner to share you memories and life experiences.
It would be mentally challenging and not many people could keep a sane mind over it, but I would like the comfort of know that I cannot die.

 

[GreyWolf257]

I know I'd want to change my answer immediately after I choose one, but I would say forever. I would be happy living with the fact that I will eventually die when the sun goes all "Kapowee!" on our asses.

 

[FROGGEman2]

I'd need eternal youth, but I just gotta see how this story ends. I want to see how humanity evolves.

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

God I wish I could live forever.
However I'd like to be able to end it if I found it to be too unbearable.
