What about heaven

hello my friend. as you know i am an atheist, so heaven would not be a factor in my decision. if it turns out that my son will need to be taken care of for the rest of his life, then yes i would. if he does not need me for his whole life then no i wouldn't.

Only if someone would heal my body first and make me 30 again. And then I would only want it till I was 80 and maybe we could just pick the day and poof we are gone with little suffering. Having a healthy body is more important than not growing old. Old is good as long as you can be healthy. And living forever on this earth would be a type of hell I think, even if you were in perfect health.

Only if it was reversible... such as, you had to take it every day or begin to age again (like the myth of the philosopher's stone). I might take it for a while, sure. But I wouldn't take a one-shot deal, no; one pill, frozen forever in time and live forever. That's unnatural.
Watch/read Tuck Everlasting.

Sure. It would be interesting seeing that changes of humanity and Earth for the next few thousand years. Imagine what we could accomplish if we could live indefinitely? All that we can learn and create?
Of course, this so called pill just guards against aging and natural death by aging. It does'nt guard against fatal diseases or accidents, so one would have to be careful.

I would quote my Great Uncle Steve (who lived to 103 years old)...and he believed in Heaven!
"Had I known getting this old would be this boring, I would have smoked more, drank more, eaten more bad foods and slept with more women..."
So no, I wouldn't want that pill...plus, the planet would be pretty crowded after a few years...

No I wouldn't take it. Watching everyone I know and love get older, wither and die would be entirely too hard and painful. I love my wife and want to grow old with her.

For a while- I think I'd get bored though and I don't believe in heaven

Yes I would, if I got bored with life I could always end it, but I'm up for living longer than people do

No, i wouldn't take it. But, then again, im not on my death bed. i wonder how many people who dont believe in an afterlife, if the answered no to your question, would sing a different tune while facing their own demise.

Not sure. If I had a boyfriend who wanted to be with me forever then maybe yes but since I don't have anyone then no.
