If you had the option, would you really want to live forever? With all the war and sadness, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't want to live forever.... but I would like to live long enough to do everything I wanted to do in life.
As we can not choose our own lifespans at this time, I'm thinking we should all have a list of things to do before we die and try to accomplish them all in the time we have.

If I had the chance to opt out at any point when it got too much, then yeah, probably. Think of the life you could lead without fear of dying, but I think it'd be hard because you'd still have to make a living and do all the usual stuff that you do day to day so it wouldn't really change much. I wouldn't bother with a pension fund though, not if I'm not going to retire ;)

i could favor to stay continually. i'm 20 now, and that i could likely elect to be continually sixty 8. i imagine by technique of the time i'm sixty 8, i could have done many existence aims, jointly with procuring a house, doing truly some vacationing, getting married, having babies, and each little thing else i wanted to do. 13 became a tricky age for me. I suffered melancholy after dealing with a medical disaster. i do not care about the previous; I only favor to flow ahead into the destiny and stay my existence! :)

I wouldn't want to be viewed as being so totally self-centered and self-important by choosing to live forever.
So, I'd choose to live three weeks short of forever.

No, because then I would never get to find out what happens when we die. The curiosity would get to me eventually especially after I'd been around on earth for a while. How many unique experiences are there in this life? After a couple million years I'd probably be pretty bored.

I would. Not only to see what happens next, but to see the changes in man. In the process, developing a true sense of time and history. The only caveat, I would have is that it be in reasonably good health.

That's why what we do while we're alive is important. It will live on in our name. I try to save the world whenever I can.

In all actuality, your question is too open-ended. If one were to live forever, would he become old and diseased or would he remain impervious to all sickness and human defects like blindness, deafness, STD's, memory loss, etc?

No. I wouldn't be able to repeatedly lose those I love over and over and over and over again. It would be horrible to outlive everything.

No, I wouldn't. I am already sick and tired of my life :(
