People's answers will vary depending on their circumstances. Someone who is feeling embarrassment or shame might which they were never born. Someone surrounded by the good things in life (family, friends and whatever else they consider worth living for) they're going to want to cherish life and all it has.
I think, personally, that life is a good experience. The experiences may not actually be good, per se, but it's important to live through some things to get a fuller picture of what existence is all about. There are ups and downs, and no matter which one you seem to have more of, life is life. You may as well make the most of it.
I see where you're coming from though. This is a poem I wrote, today actually. I wonder if coincidence exists? Anyway:
If I'd never been born, there'd be no one to miss me.
If I'd never been born, I wouldn't disappoint.
If I'd never been born, I'd have no problems.
And if I'd never been born, I wouldn't have minded.
Suicide is selfish, but not existing wouldn't hurt anybody. However, it's pretty much futile to even imagine you could never have existed. You're alive now, and all that you can do is live. Who knows, happiness may be around the corner: it's the unknown that makes life exciting! So, in short, I'd choose to live, if only for the experience.

Well ,if you never existed in the first place,you would not have a choice to live life or to never have existed.

My personal choice would be to live again. The fact that i already experience living in this wonderful world, i wand to still exist. My choice not to exist is nil. Life is a wonderful experience man will never forget. Humans have the highest form of intelligence among other forms of life. Therefore the knowledge we have learned and the experiences will tell us the wonders of it. Let us live life to the fullest because we have just one life to live.

Lol, if I didn't exist at all then I most certainly wouldn't know what I was missing, would I?
I suppose I'd choose to live, only because life gives you an opportunity that nonexistance does not.

To never exist. I am sure that is the best choice, everything is moot after that. No regret, no joy, no regret of having never felt joy. To never exist makes all things , feelings, people, and time, of no consequence good or bad.

I choose life! I want to live life although I find it sometimes really challenging, but I want to exist. I am thankful to exist!!!!!!!!

All of the things had existed and will exist for ever. So, you don't say I wish I never exist!

i would choose to live. i've got a pretty good job, a good family, a good husband, two cats, and a good group of friends.
there are too many experiences the world has to offer to give up on life.

Life, of course. Who'd want to miss out on this adventure. Changes happen all the time. It's exciting, in a surreally slow way.
