(While everyone else lived normal lives)

I would love that provided health and money are no problems.... I won't mind not having my contemporaries... I would easily make friends with young boys and girls... in any case who do I need to tell my age over here in the internet? God bless you for the great offer!!
I believe that science would soon (in about 100 years) find ways to keep people alive for over 500 years without too much decay!!

There would be a lot of "ifs" in that answer. If I could maintain a good body and a sharp mind. If I could foresee that the earth would not dry up like a prune from lack of water and resources. If I could see peace in the world. If people finally got it about over population. If I didn't become the "invisible majority" because I wasn't as young and hip as others. If I was educated and knowledgeable enough to fix some of the horrendous problems like pollution and lack or resources. If I could help cure diseases. A thousand years for a social butterfly is not a big deal but if one was not social it would be disaster because all your friends and relatives would be dead and gone, lonesome world then.

I've never been able to answere this question with only a yes or a no. No, because I don't want to be alone, or without my friends and family. Yes, because I want to see what's going to happen to the world 1,000 years from now. Will humans stilll be around? Will we be on the Moon? Mars? Will Yellowstone erupt? How will technology evolove? It's something I've been wondering for a long time and I still don't know.

No. Well maybe in the beginning. What an adventure it would be, to see the world change and witness history as it is being made. But eventually, your existence would become lonely. Everything that is familiar to you; your friend and family would die and you would remain here.
No. I have lived my life and I have ben granted only a short time here to do good and have a positive impact on life. I will not waste and I will not wish it away by seeking more time.

Absolutely, If I could be like somebody out of the Highlander series, where your body wouldn't age
that fast. Just imagine all the knowledge and wealth
you could aquire. The downside would be that you
wouldnt be able to get too close to someone. It would
take somebody who's happy being alone. I would
do alot of traveling.

No. I wouldn't want to be stuck in the same body that long. It would get boring. I much prefer my current arrangement: hang out on earth about a century, die, come back and hang out another century as a different person, etc etc.

No, I would stick out like a sore thumb.
Who would be my contemporaries?
I doubt anyone else would know how to relate to me, though I could be an excellent teacher of history.
I think I would be terribly lonely.

You will be watching your friends die off generations by generations.
You make some new friends and they die again.
it wouldn't be fun to keep making new friends and keep watching them get old and die.
