I would propose an alternative. By the time immortality can be achieved, humanity will already be capable of faster-than-light travel and will be spreading out across the galaxy. Immortality should therefore be an option for those who choose to boldly go where no man has gone before.

I never have wanted a child, and I don't think I will. So yes, I'll have that.

What if you've already had a child? I mean (I think) I haven't created one yet.

I remember this show about people jumping from different dimensions and there was this world where everyone was immortal but there was no children, so they made creepy robot children and eventually wanted to turn the children who jumped there immortal so they could always have children around, it was creepy.

I would take the treatment but with a heavy heart, I want children but I'd like to live a very long time.

The inability to die is the worst curse you can ever be stricken with.
Look at the Doctor. You honestly think he's happy with his immortality?

If I make a child first then have this immortality surgery?

I know that it would suck to watch all my loved ones die away, but, I'm too afraid of death.

I really want to say yes, but even though I don't want children at this point in my life, I'm pretty sure I will later on. Plus, without some sort of kill switch I could use on myself, I wouldn't want immortality.

Longevity? Not aging?? Immunity from disease, including cancer??? Hells yes!
Hell, I wouldn't even require the longevity, guaranteed a decently long life in good health. (I don't have any health problems now, but it's a spectre that keeps worrying me) It might very well even be superior to immortality, given how great the world is developing...

...which incidentally ties into my reluctance to have children.

Yep! Can't bear children anyway, the annoying little things! Ba-dum tsh!

But seriously, adoption is my most likely option anywho, so I'll go with that.

that sounds pretty damn perfect to me :) i have no desires to father a child, so gaining immortality by getting rid of the option to do something I don't want to do sounds good

Yeah.
It is my aim to become immortal so anything that simplifies my eternity is a plus in my book

I'd go for it. Immortality, that is. I would try to have a child before the process begins (for the fun of it (although I would probably have trouble with the whole "finding a female who would have sex with me" front (muwahaha, too many parentheses in my self-depreciation))) but I would have to keep an eye out for his/her decendants because they would most likely be the death of me.

lol don't be stranded to only one planet, if we ever become immortal then we will definetely start colonizing other star systems many will be pushed away in a spaceship to travel millions of years, i guess our mind will change but there will be no means not to have a child, maybe a child once in a thousand years
