No, I wouldn't - I mean, I think it would be really interesting to see what happens to the world and it's inhabitants 300 years from now...but there's a reason why people weren't meant to live forever, and I'm okay with that!

Definitely not. At first glance the answer would be yes for anyone. But, I couldn't imagine losing everyone I ever cared about over and over again. Think about falling in love, getting married, raising a family, then outliving all of them. Talk about heartache. Then, do that about more than once and see if you still have the desire to live. I'd love to live a very long time, but not forever. The only way I'd opt to live forever is if I could choose those who I'd want to live forever with me.

If all I was granted was the ability to live forever, I would have to say no. I would still age, deteriorate, and probably end up in a lot of pain. And the pain would never stop.
If I could get eternal life, eternal youth, AND eternal health, then I would probably consider it. The only problem I would have is that
I might get bored. After having done everything, and learned as much as I possibly could, I simply might not have anything left to do. And I absolutely HATE boredom.

Well depends, How long is forever? Forever like at Doomsday when the rest of the people on the earth are dead God looks at me like what are you still doing here? I wouldn't want that forever because God would probably be mad at me.
or Forever like the last person to die on earth then probably no again because whats the point to live forever to die last, that would suck. Like I lived forever for this ending, just me?
So I guess no.

No way. I can't imagine how painful that would be. You couldn't really love anyone because everyone you loved you'd see die, and you'd still be here. How depressing.
At least, I don't want to live HERE forever. I believe after I'm done here on earth that I'll go to heaven, and I'll live my eternal life promised to me as a saved child of God.

Wouldn't want to live forever. At the rate information is becoming available, I am beginning to think I have heard enough!
Now only if I could find the time tunnel!

no. it'd be nice to see the world changed as i grew older, but at some point in time the beauty of life is letting go, letting loved ones make something of their lives. Seeing the peoples lives you left behind grow and expand. It takes a strong person to die. To let the world go one without them.

It depends on the conditions. Would I still age? Would I still feel pain? The author Jonathan Swift wrote a novel called "Gulliver's Travels" in which he reached a land where no one ever died...they aged however and many of them were ugly and sick. Some had disease and cancer that caused much pain...but they would not die. I would not want to live like that. If I could stay this young...sure who wouldn't want longevity. Some of us would like to know how it will all eventually end. Nice question!

yes, if i could stay the same age which would be between 19 - 30. i would love to keep reliving my life a different way. Single in one life. Married with 5 kids in another. Keep trying new careers. Live in different countries. It would be amazing.

nah, you wouldn't be able to settle down, experience things tat can only happen when you live a life die and proceed. if one were to live forever, what would truly be a benefit? Besides seeing history pass on each age, is all of what I can think...
