Wow! That is a totally ludicrous question!!!! As long as I didnt have to live in the same day over and over (No Vanill..........) it could be interesting.....and if I could pick someone to be with me.......well yeah......it would seriously be on! Imagine having the world to play in? There are so many things to do-I would go to Rome and see the ampitheater you can hear a whisper in from top to bottom....I would see the Egyptian cats and see if they are as wild and crazy then as they are today! I would try to meet Bill W and Dr. Bob and thank them from the bottom of my heart.................I would love eternally for no other reason than love is happiness............I would meet the worlds people to find out everything I could...........I would laugh as much as possible..................

No, I would not choose to live forever, even if I could bring another person with me. What about the rest? What about the new people I meet and befriend, the people I become attached to?
What if that person who could live forever with me grew bored or tired of me? Because that person is the only one who can ever truly stay with me, that person would then be considered my 'one and only true companion'. And I would've bored or lost that person...
Plus, life repeats itself. It renews or changes certain aspects, tweaks here and there, but there is nothing truly new under the sun. You'd get bored, eventually.
And anyway, what if something terrible happened and I were to live eternally in miserable conditions? What is the future of the Earth? What is the future of the universe?
What if I would eventually be entrapped and be left to suffer eternally? What if that suffering was life and its memories itself? There will be so many that you have known and have come to pass away...

It might be fun for a while. But if you have no money, no means of making money just living the same ole life day in and day out...heck...I think it would get pretty old. And then there is the fact that all those that you love, except this one, would die, and mankind would keep on doing the same thing over and over. Life could become a complete bore and the only left would be to find a high mountain or deep hole and wait out eternity....could one call this HELL.

Regardless of companion or not, it would not matter to me. I would pick immortality every time. Life, in my opinion, is much too short. There are so many things that I would love to learn, to see, to do. I could never become bored with life or the people in it. To watch as time unfolded, to see the changes as they occur. Exploration would become my full time endeavor. Given a real choice, I would ask to go back about 5,000 years and start this journey over. To walk through time and see the events unfold, both great and small. I have no desire to change history, just to witness it's unfolding with my own eyes and find my own meaning and truth within those events. A very good question, Thank you.

My wife of 20 years passed away last September. Not a day passes that I don't think about her. I don't think that I could stand the grief of outliving everyone that I knew and cared about. Maybe if it could have been her, but not just anyone would be suitable to live forever with.

If I could live forever I would assume that everyone else would too, then there would be no point in taking anyone else for the ride.
Of course, living forever involves some difficulties. For example, if we all live forever then there is no point in being born.

as i'm still (relatively) young, i'd say yes on both counts (you could always lose the other person if they became annoying, and isn't that inevitable, given eternity? or was the companion meant as an incentive?!).
i have, however, heard that you lose the will to live later in life (any octo/nona-genarians out there who'd like to clear this up?!), so the answer's probably going to be no if i make it that far!
Of course if i continued physically aging infinitely, then the answer's also no :)

No, I know this trap.
You live forever without eternal youth.
You would age and whither and decay mentally.
It's like the third part of Gulliver's Travel.
