I would choose to die. Life itself is not made to be forever. That is the beauty of it. Life itself gives us a certain time on this Earth to live and love. By being immortal, what does that do to us? Sure, we could do everything we ever wanted but what haappens after that? We would be left with nothing else to do. Life would become dull and monotonos. Life would not be Life anymore.

The question is a lot more simple than you think. Do you want to live TOMORROW?
Pretty much everyone would say yes. But why? You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. You may be hit by a truck. Everyone you love may be hit by a truck. The whole world might be hit by... well, you get the idea.
People accept one day because it has a positive value. Bad things might happen, but good things might happen too. We know that we have some measure of control over those things, even though we know that many things that happen will be completely unexpected and completely out of our control. So it goes.
But if one day has a positive value, how could any number of days summed up not continue to have a positive value? Those who deny immortality are merely being pessimistic. Maybe the cure for age will be discovered tomorrow. Maybe peace will finally reign over all humanity. Maybe they'll find better loved ones than the ones they've lose. Or maybe they'll just have a new TV show you would have been sorry to miss.
The possibilities are endless. Do not deny them.

If I had the choice to live forever, I wouln't take it. I would like to live a long time but not forever. I would see lots of changes in the world but at the same time there are so many things wrong with the world it would be too painful for me to be living and have to watch the progression for the worst of the world over centuries.

No i wouldn't want to live forever because everything that is living must die. and beside there is no point in living foever because this world won't last forever and also i really want to see what happens after you die is there really a place heavan or hell i want to find out if it really exists or not. or are we in a virtual world right now or may be when we die we wake up in a other whole new world.

I wouldn't!! it also depends too, if I live forever r the ppl in my life going to be living forever as well? am I going to get old? I guess I'm making your question more complicated but No I wouldn't want to because you do everything you want when you have one chance at life, it motivates you to do things but If I was going to live forever then I wouldn't care cause I would have the rest of my life to do the things I want. It's the thrill, the fact that you know that one day u wont be on this earth that gets you to do alot of things....everything would be point less if i were to live forever.

For a long time- yeah. But forever no. I wouldnt want to watch everything I loved to die around me. That is probably the worst hell.

I'd live forever only if I had the ability to make the ones I love and care about live forever too. I'd hate to outlive thousands of wives and children. I couldn't imagine outliving my wife and children once, let alone over and over. Good question. The initial answer would seem to be a definite yes; but, when you think about it, there's more to consider.

The answer to both your questions depends on your beliefs. if you believe that the after life, in which you go to either heaven or Hell, is better than all life on earth, then you would choose to NOT live forever... but if you felt that this world has much to offer you, then why would you choose to leave it..?
Question #2: I personally would choose to NOT live forever, because i believe the fruits of heaven are much sweeter than of Earth's =] and plus, i wouldn't want to see my loved ones die over and over again..

I would but when I got old and everybody I knew had died I would probably end it then out of misery and loneliness. But the Idea is good. If I could keep people with me then that would be what I would do because it would be great to see how the future changes and to literally see an do it all would be great.

We are all meant to live forever, after all no one would be able to pick the date of his death, if he/she has a measure of good health. Eternity was placed in our minds by the true God Jehovah. The only way the we could enjoy this forever, is if the world was made into a paradise as Jehovah promised he would.
