Personnally, I wouldn't want immortality, especially if I was the only person to have it. Life on earth is a journey and all journey's come to an end at some point, that's death. So if you can't die, then you're journey can never end, and you'll never be able to rest.
That's my take on it.

I think I would, but only if there was some way for me to end my life if I really wanted too. Also, I would want to remain young, after all, who would want to spend eternity in a nursing home? If I was immortal, I would study EVERYTHING I could, philosophy, science, medicine, imagine knowing it all. I mean, whose to say you couldn't learn that much if you had the time? But I don't think a lot of people could handle immortality, I mean, it would involve a certain amount of detachment from everyone so that you weren't overwhelmed when they eventually died. If I was immortal though, I wouldn't tell anyone, just imagine how people would pester you. But yes, I would like to be immortal.

Yes I would. I would love to live life seeing everything that goes on in the world. Think about it to be alive to say yea I know that Christ was real/or fake depending on what the truth is. Or to see the great things and disasters that have happened and to see all the things that will happen in the future and tell people of the past and be a great story teller and watch society change over the years. Plus by the end of the world I would be super loaded with cash.

I would not want immortality. I might like to live for a few thousand lifetimes, but eternity is a very long time and it might get boring.
I saw this one episode of Star Trek Voyager with an immortal character named Q, and he was totally bored from being around for such a very long time.
Everything would pass, and you would remain, and it would all look familiar, and be alienating, I think.

well right off the bat I thought no, but then I thought, "think of al lthe interesting people you could meet, all the stuff you could try because you had all the time in the world, you would be fearless" and then I thought how cool it would be to be around for the invention of new things, to see how technology progresses and even how humans evolve! Im indecisive on this one.

If I was really immortal and I couldnt die even if I was shot or stabbed, I would fight crime...I would go after organised crime and drug lords. If I was immortal age-wise only, then I guess I would travel the world taking my time.

We have immortality, all of us. Immortality is right now. This is what it look like. When you die, you don't live anymore but what you lived, you lived, and that is going to remain true until nothing can be true.

Immortality is not just a sum of time. To make it worth, it should attain more elements: Forever young, forever handsome/beautiful, forever healthy, forever powerful...

Yep, why not? I would look for the plants, learn a lot more about them, enjoy the solitude and quiet, do all the things I never got to do in my lifetime but if that were not possible, I would find something.

Reach Level 450,367,467,920 here on Yahoo? Sure, I'd go for it in a heart beat...so to speak. I just want to have the body of a 25 year old as I go down the path...I cannot see spending eternity in the worn out one I presently own. LOL
