Science creates the perfect android body. Completely indistinguishable from an actual human body in all ways, touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing.
You may, if you desire, have your brain "downloaded" into this android body, with 100% transference. All thoughts, memories, emotions, feelings, EVERYTHING will persists just as it did when in your organic body. To the people around you, you will be the exact same person, and they to you. The only thing is that your organic body must die to make this happen.
As an android, you will continue to experience life just as a human... to think, to love, to learn. The only difference is that you will never age, and you will never die, unless YOU CHOOSE TO.
Would you do it, and what would your god (if you are a theist) think of you for doing it?

The problem is, so many people who say, "I wish I were dead" and boom, your android body dies.
Well, as it's said by many people, it's what you do with your life, what your soul does, that matters. The body is just a shell. But to live forever? I don't think any god would allow that at all, as you would never have an afterlife.
Now myself...I wouldn't do it. It would still feel different, how I would approach my life would be different if I knew I had a body that would last forever and would never age. So the life I have as a human would be different if I were an android.

I would say yes if it could be deferred until I was near death because what will go on "living" is a copy of me, not me. So while I am in good health I would not commit suicide to create a copy of myself. If anyone is scratching their head about this then imagine the following scenerio. My mind is downloaded to the android but it still exists in my brain so when the body is disposed of I will be killed. Yes, the copy of my mind in the android will be very happy that he made the choice for the transfer but I, who actaully made the decision, will never see another day.

No. I wouldn't want to live forever. Because life must change for it to grow and become more. If we were all to live forever, life would never change, new ideas would never grow.
As we grow older, we become more "stuck" in our own mindset, and less able to bend to new ideas. Its simply the way life works.
Imagine if the world never changed from what it is at this moment in time. That would be a terrible thing. No new technologies, the same wars over and over, no change. Change is a good thing. But that would stop if we were to stop aging.
If I were to have the choice only for myself, I'd still refuse. Because everything around me would continue to change but I would always remain the same. I can't imagine what it would be like to be alive in 500 years while the entire world has changed around me to be something my mind cannot even begin to fathom.
Death is not a bad thing.

Sure, but why not cut out the middle man - a complete existence could be experienced in the "computer" without the download and without the limits of the real world such as king of your own country or senator in the Star Wars galactic senate.

Dum *** no. Im going all cryonics bitchen. Hoping to live for 150 years u get extreme knowledge of world by then and to live for ever isnt always best because u cant fully enjoy ur time on earth because any minute u could die so u feel grateful but now u cant feel ur true lust to strive to live and instead u strive to do nothing and that is when ur life is meaningless.

And the down side of this is?
What is the chance of it going wrong?
Will the governments of the world recognize me as a person with rights, or a machine without?
What is the cost.
If it is within my reach and it makes no other difference why would I not do it?
Can I get my body with better muscles? LOL

No I would not. My body is the temple of the living God. He fills bodies with the Holy Ghost. Not robots. The vail to the temple was rent and twain from top to bottom. And God resided not there anymore, but in the bodies of his people.

Hell yes I would do it, but could I get missile launchers, and deathrays for eyes?, how about a jetpack for flight? I would take immortality at any opportunity(eternity isn't long enough for me). (add enhanced speed, strength, and reaction time too[gotta have flamethrowers too], add something for creating wormholes while I'm dreaming, and don't make it human)
Off topic: I found out that P&S is Planning to storm R&S at 9PM.

Sure I'd do it. I think most people answering this question are missing the bit at the end which states we could end it IF WE CHOOSE TO. Heck yes I'd like to live hundred years instead of about 80. THEN I'd probably say "ok, enough".
