If it could be granted to you, would you choose never to die?

definitely not
half the fun of life is knowing it will end and craming in everything worthwhile while you are still living
that is why people take advantage of life
otherwise everyone would be very boring because they would have eternity to do things so they would continously put it off

No thanks. I can't wait to see what it's like on the "other side". Life on earth would get VERY boring and outliving all of my loved ones would suck. Plus, I would always have to relocate every ten years or so because people would realize that I'm not getting any older. I'd also be lonely because I wouldn't be able to keep the same friends for too long before they found out. It would just suck all around.

My first inclination would be yes. But after the first couple thousand years it might get kinda old and then what are you going to do? And what would happen if the world ended? Would you just wander around all by yourself, starving (because there is no food), dying of thirst (but not dying). It definetly has its drawbacks.

No, this is my objection to organised religion and the concept of immortality for eternity...It is more than the human mind can comprehend the concept of infinity...not just more billions of years, but billions and billions of years and then billions more...no matter what sort of paradise it is...I would want a change eventually..wouldn't you?

Ugh - no way. Eternal life would get so boring after a while. Especially if everyone else that you loved would grow old and die. You'd probably eventually stop caring about people so that you wouldn't be emotionally hurt when they died, and then where would you be?

Only if my family were granted the same

Yes, I probably would. It would be sad to see loved ones pass and have to move on, but there is so much to see and know and do in this world that it can't possibly all be encompassed in one life.
But I get to keep my youth, right?

I already have. Even though this temporary body will die, I will live in Heaven with Jesus for eternity.

I think this is a really great question. It's hard to say. Personally, I wish I could stick around to see what happens to everything / everyone.
