Would you want to live forever?

Question

Would you want to live forever?

Answer 1

Even if I am to live forever, I would not want to know that as a fact.... the very thought that I am going to live forever will completely devalue my life... nothing would seem necessary as of now... everything can be postponed for another day.... this will lead to losing value for time and that means life will lose its definition and meaning altogether. Death defines life and the knowledge that death is inevitable is what defines the time within that life. A timeless existence is as good or rather bad as a non-existence!!

Answer 2

No. Being surrounded with taxes violence and hate and without your friends being, watching them die one by one. I would be lonely and want to pass and say hey i lived a good life and die.

Answer 3

i dont want to die until i see aliens come down and rule the world. so i'll know i was right!!

No.

Life is only precious because we know it ends.

Answer 11

Yes, I would like to live forever.

Answer 12

Who wants to live forever?

Answer 13

This earth is the first stage, or maybe, the middle, or maybe the end. My soul will pervade to experience what comes after.

As for physical existence, that would be hellish. Why be stranded in this stage of the journey? All the people I know on this earth would leave me, a thin, yet neverending, impermeable layer separating death from my torturous, lonely life.

Answer 14

I will, with God! :D

Answer 15

h**l no.  You'd be floating around in space for eternity with nothing to do.  And it would NEVER end!  I might not mind living until the world ends, but then again, I'd lose too many loved ones.  So no, a normal life is fine for me.

Answer 16

My soul will carry on, reincarnate into another being. So yes I would and will live forever....

Answer 17

Forever, maybe. I am undecided...

I would enjoy living longer than we do now, see how the world changes and move ahead with it; but I'd want to have my youth (no use living for a millennia if 950 years are spent in bed). Hmm, perhaps to live as long as I want? Basically, an exit clause, allowing me to exit the ride and move on to the 'afterlife'.

Answer 18

It's a frightening thought.

You could live through anything, but that doesn't mean

that the pain that comes along with whatever happens is squelched. You could be shot in the head, but you won't die. (I'm guessing) It'll just hurt a lot. And the world could end, but you will still live, floating in space with many, many injuries but no one and no way to treat them.

Then let's say that about after fifteen years (standard Earth years, I guess, let's not get into relativity) of aimless floating, the Universe is TORN ASUNDER. Then what? There's nothingness, a concept which is already staggering, and you floating about in it. Could you comprehend it? And if you could, then you wouldn't actually be comprehending nothingness because you're in it and you're something. So it's pseudo-nothingness.

It's a fun thought, but I usually stop there to keep a headache at bay.  

Immortality is NOT GOOD.

Answer 19

No.   Too much pain and suffering here on this earth.   I would be afraid I would become numb to it and therefore no longer be able to consider myself human.

Answer 20

No.  That would be torture.  Life is not so great that it should go on forever.  It includes much suffering and deserves to eventually end.

Answer 21

Mabe till a year before the world ends!!

Answer 22

...yes, PLEASE...

...thank YOU...

Answer 23

No.  I am looking forward to the end.  I will not do it myself...I will let it happen when it should.  But, I am looking forward to it.  Living forever would prevent me from experiencing the end.

**** luck!
