So many times have I seen someone become evil or tormented because they outlived everyone. Immortality would be good for giggles for a while, but I couldn't stand it for long.

Immortality, baby! I endure the end of all....so Ill eventually have to literally fart and create a new universe and be their god...and thus, the cycle shall continue...
Immortality, because then you could spend your eternity doing what others could not, due to them being able to die, which is unite the world under a single banner, and begin to colonize space.
Immortality, because after the universe ended I would become god, and make a new universe, and then I would own ALL OF YOU!
Death! I am NOT hanging around in complete blackness for infinity.
Anyone who chose 'Eternal life' is a FOOL who has condemned themselves to Hell!... or at least they would have done if answering this poll made it happen.
Though I guess you could lose your mind and be completely insane, so not be bothered about the eternal nothingness.

No I wouldn't need emotion to kill a parasite. I would just need to think logically. I am more advanced than you and do not destroy the earth I live on and bleed it dry. You do. If the earth ends it will be your fault. Stop you from destroying the earth so I don't float in oblivion. Or kill you because it's something to do and I would feel no regret in doing so. Also, I don't need emotion to learn everything. It's just something to do. I'm sure I would eventually do everything.Slayer942 said:
Death. If you've ever read Stephen Kings "Jaunt" from Skeleton Crew you'd know what happens to a human mind when it's left alone in the dark for eternity. It goes insane. Do you really want to spend eternity going insane from the boredom of being alone?
Well, both suck.
If you lived forever, things would get really boring and you can't do anything about it (like suicide), and you would probably sit through the nuclear/zombie/alien invasion/frog apocalypse and get to watch a barren planet for billions of years until the sun goes out and then are stuck in the void of space.
Dying sucks because you're dead and then the world will become extremely overpopulated without cancer to thin the ranks, and end up bringing the apocalypse early over diminishing fuel/land/food/everything reserves.

What's amusing is that you've got quite a few moral conundrums here. For the Christians amongst you, you've taken your own life. In dying you confide yourself to hell, and for all the good you do, it will likely be the burning fires for you. Or outside of Gods grace. Whatever it is that's supposed to happen to naughty Christians.
On the other hand, is curing cancer a good thing? The last great disease of humanity, which upon its curing will lead to a population boom, virtually choking the earth under the weight of humanity, not yet ready to travel off of Holy Terra and colonise the galaxy under the Emperor... sorry, caught up in that.
Additionally, living forever will make you a sage. A liviing library. I'm an archaeologist, and what myself and my collegues would pay for a man from the past to tell us what the hell it all means. A lviing record of such things would lead to an enlightened mankind. The unparallelled knowledge held by an immortal would be stunning.
On the note of loved ones dying, you honestly think you'll not make more? How many times have you sat with that one girl and thought "she's the one", only to lose her and feel the same about another? If you have kids, yeah it'd suck immensely to see them die, but they'd live priveliged lives under the household of the Immortal, and likely be some of the smartest humans alive, thanks to your nurturing sills, perfected -like all other skills you've learned- through the course of centuries
Now I put this to you: Those of you who choose death are truly selfish, wanting your own death for a quick payoff of greatness more than the progression of humanity as a whole. You squander the greatest gift any mortal could ever recieve on your own worry that you'll be bored? The post says you can't die. Who needs to die, you can be put into dreamless sleep by future tech at the end of all things, I'm sure.
...am I looking too far into this hypothetical debate or was that Escapist standard?

immortality so that i can perpetuate humanity through out all time, space, dimension, and reality
in a way you could end up damning yourself either way you choose since if you choose immortality then you risk living for all of eternity outside of the presence of god which is what one interpretation of hell isMarcai said:
