In keeping with the sudden surge of immortality threads lately i pose you a question;

If you had to choose between:

A: You died tomorrow, but through your death, all forms of cancer are cured

B: You become immortal, in the sense that you live forever, never die, and cannot be damaged or feel pain in anyway (enabling you to be able to survive in any environment such as space or the centre of a star). However, as you will truly live forever, if the universe were to ever be destroyed in some way, you would outlive it, so even if there would be nothing but darkness, you would still exist, alone.

Taking the implications of both choices into account, which would you choose?
[Edit: for clarity, you would stay the same 'age' as you are now]

Given those choices, death.

Duh. I'd rather take my chances in the next life than keep living far past there being nothing to live for. Curing cancer is just an added bonus.

Death.

The thing with Immortality is that, even though you cant die you still age. Eventually you'll end up as a old shriveled version of yourself.

Thats why I prefer eternal youth rather than life.

Immortality is a gift I would suppose, but only if you included Dr Manhatten power I would pick Immortality. But what you posed was that IF by any chance the universe/galaxy were to implode / explode in anyway...you live in a world of darkness. I'd pick the Immortality for there is a chance that the world might blow up and eternal darkness . But as long as I feel no pain I'd be happy to try and stop the chance of the world blowing up. So .......Immortality

Death. I don't think I want to live long after all of my friends and family members have died.

I'll go with Immortal, cause in that time I'll find some way to kill myself..... Besides I'll leave cancer up to the Doctors

As much i love immortality, i would love to be able to end my own life at will. So... Death, it doesn't even have to cure anything.

But can't we compromise? You give me... hm 500 years more, and my death cures two types of cancer (Breast and Ass - i am a nice guy *g*)

DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHH.

I think after you'd outlived everyone, everything and space/time itself, you'd be more than praying for death.
