Umm, that is an inteesting one.....
Initally i thought Yeah! who wouldn't? This world is beautiful and there is so much to love and to learn....but with a little reflection I'm not sure.
If all your loved ones died at a normal age, then the pain of making and forming new relationships, just to lose again would it be more than you could bear? To know that those around you were transient and no more than flower in a season in comparison to your own life?
And to watch other others grow, blossom and wither then die before you changed?
would you als feel left behind as society and culture changed and what you grew up with has no value or relevance today?
If those around did not die, then would it all be too boring...? The assumption would be that if no one died then no one would be born, and if there was no one to pass things on to, then what is point of living at all?
I read somewhere, can't remember where that if there was no death then there would be no life. nothing qwould have evolved as there would be point for them to do so.
I guess if you are not going to die, then there is no need to compete for your little share.
So probably not, though i hope to live a good age and to be healty and happy in the time that I spend here.

'Even' if I never aged?? Try ONLY if I never aged. What would be the point of living forever if you kept getting older and more feeble??? But yes, I would like to live as long as I wished, without aging or becoming ill, as long as I still had the ability to terminate my own existance when I tired of living.

Life doesn't seem as important if it will always be there. It doesn't give you the push you need to accomplish things in life.
Sure it would be fun for awhile and you'd see tons of things. But then your friends and family would begin to die and you'd be left with yourself. Living forever can't be fun if you can't share it with anyone. Kinda of like watching a really funny comedy but no one is there to laugh with you.

only if I could never be sick, get hurt, or anything. it would suck to live forever and break your back then be stuck being paralyzed from the neck down forever. so yeah if I could never age, and not get hurt no matter what sure

Yes because I can't imagine not being alive. It's like thinking about before you were born. It's unfathomable. Not being alive is nothingness...Nonexistance. (if you're atheist that is) So yes, I want to live forever and make it my mission to figure out how to.

No, I'm only 31 and I don't want to see this world get any worse. I've already seen enough for two lifetimes. This is why Jesus died from a broken heart, he saw where our lives were headed.

And face into infinity the decay and death of all that I had loved-- that would be a nightmare from which one could never awake!

Only if my loved ones were there with me, but if they were not then no because then I couldn't go on to my next life.

I don't think so. The human brain can accept only so much garbage
