I think I would. Maybe I would regret it later but I have bad impulse control sometimes and it would be too much to resist.

No, because then what's the point in it? To drink a fountain of youth would probably carry risks. I rather be who i am and grow old than to be young forever.
Logically i can try and remain young with fountain of youth and be happy, but what would that do for me? I already look younger than i actually am, and i don't like it very well.

Not at all. I live life to the fullest and am trying to do all the things I want to do now. If you really had forever to live, why would you rush out seeing the things you want to see. You could just as easily do it next year. Or 10 yrs from now.
I have travelled by myself and didn't like it near as much as traveling with my husband. I just kept thinking I wish I had someone to share this with. If you were forever young, you'd never have anyone to share anything with.
Plus you know how old people have that nostalgia feeling. They keep talking about the "good ol days". You'd have 100s of years of thinking how things used to be better. How much people are tearing up the planet.
You'd be very alone--never being able to get close to anyone. Everyone would think you are different, odd, not like "the rest of us". To be ostracized for the rest of society would be a long long bout of loneliness.

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a short story about this, called " Dr. Heideggar's Experiment". It the story of three losers who are bitter in their old age. They are given the opportunity to be young again... but when the opportunity presents itself, they do not learn from the mistakes of their youth. They revert back to their old ways of trickery and deceit.
No... I want to experience all the stages of life... not just the joy of being young and carefree. I don't want to be that much of a centrist. So far, I've had a good life. I want to see where it takes me next.

I don't think so. If I were to drink the fountain of youth. then i would be the same age over and over again. its boring.
Life is about different stages. Iw ould want to experience the different stages in life than stay young forever.

let's examine. You hop onto a deliver and flow immediately to Florida. From there you hunt for the paranormal fountain of stripling. Get ya a number of the fountain water and also you'll be continuously youthful. there is not any possible way.

It's a toss up. You would have to live with everyone you love dying around you. However, you could do all the things you wanted to do without worry. So, it all depends. Would you rather do everything there is out there, and then get bored (since forver is a long time), or see everyone you die around you? I wouldn't want to see all my loved ones die around me (especially if I live forever...Husbands and such). So, I guess I wouldn't, and take life as it was meant to be.

No, but I'd love to turn the calendar back 25 years.

no way... I wouldn't want to stay young while my family and friends grew old and died. I would miss them too much.
