Poll: Would you become ageless?

[madster11]

Providing i'm not immortal and nobody else on the planet becomes ageless, sure.
I'd probably want to die within 1000 years, hence the no immortality thing, and if everybody on the planet suddenly stopped aging, our planet would be completely fucked in 100 years. We need people to die - not having them die would make our population explode, thus using more resource which would lead to a lack of resources to war to either irreversible damage to Earth or the destruction of the human race.

There are only two things I want in this life before I die. I want to have a robot arm, and I want to be able to mke a living as a space pirate. Right now, neither of those is possible, at least not at sci-fi levels. Because of this, I would like to live longer, until I'm piloting my space ship with my robo-arm, dressed like a 15th-century sailor for no practical reason. Once I have achieved that, I could die happy.

I suppose somewhere in there I could get married or something. You know, if I find the time.

Yes, and I am seriously calling out everyone that voted "No, boredom," since that makes absolutely no sense.

The OP clearly states "Would you live as long as you could," which means that boredom is no longer a satisfactory explanation: As soon as it gets too boring, make yourself mortal again.

As for me, I'd go age-less in a heartbeat. I'll have all the time in the world to discover all of what we know about science and medicine. To be able to see evolution happening with my own eyes would be incredible.

Yes. I would live forever.

I think I've mentioned it before in other "live forever?" threads, but I'm completely and absolutely terrified of my own expiration. So, if I have the option to put it off ad infinitum, then I'm going to take it.

Besides that, I really just don't want to leave this world. I wanna see what happens.

For the longest time, I have always felt that I would never want something luke technology to cease aging. However, upon greater reproach, if this technology was mine to administer as I wish, I would snatch up the opportunity in an instant. No petty morals could possibly convince me otherwise, and I was actually pleasantly amused by the poll results.

I suppose the question to ask yourself is 'What do I want out of life to begin with?' And from there determine how long you need to live for that. I don't mean to sound non-religious at all- in fact I would put nearly all of my ageless time toward religious purposes. These things just take time that I often do not seem to have.

Yes, provided suicide were legalized. I don't wanna make trouble for anyone when I eventually get bored and decide to snuff it.
