Die tomorrow! Who wants to live forever? You would loose so much and the pain of watching so many people come in and out of your life. I wouldn't want to go through it.

Well, any answer that I would feel very confident about depends on details which are not given in the hypothetical situation. Am I to live forever in a state of constant decay? Do other people live forever as well? Do I have to make the choice to die tomorrow ("I cannot self-terminate,")? What is the future like?
Presuming that I knew none of the answers to any of these questions, but some spiritual diety came to me and asked "Wanna die tomorrow or live forever?" I'd probably say live forever. I'm very frightened of the idea that when I die I will never think again. I wish I wasn't an agnostic, but I don't really have much choice in the matter.

Live forever, easily. Life always has its bad times, of course, but those are far outnumbered by the good times.
It disturbs me how many people would choose to die tomorrow. Are so many peoples' lives so bad and so lacking in hope that they would view immortality as a curse rather than the greatest thing that could happen to you?
I suppose if immortality ever became a reality, the immortals would eventually come to outnumber those who choose a mortal life, just because the mortals would keep dying out.

I would rather die tomorrow. I have worked with the elderly, and the one thing that they are saddest about is the loneliness that they feel as they get very old and they have seen many of thier realatives and friends pass away. To live forever you would see many advances in time but you would not ever be able to make up for the compaionship of family and friends.

I would rather die tomorrow because living forever is pretty similar to dying.

Die Tomorrow! I would never want to live forever and watch everything and everyone I knew slowly just disappear and leave me behind.

To live forever would be a terrible burden...seeing friends and loved ones die would be the worst form of punishment for me.
As I live each day like it would be my last one alive anyway, I am prepared to die tomorrow.

Like the song says......"Who wants to life forever?...... IT would be neat to see the future to live a long life but think of all the loss.
Watching friends die, family die......It would be lonely. Would you have to keep it a secret?
But then do we really die. We are beings of energy and you can;t destroy energy it just changes form......

I'm going to live forever no matter when I die. The soul/spirit, cannot be killed. It lives on forever, it's just here and now that we ourselves decide where we will rest or distress our souls forever.

Die tomorrow. I have done much and seen too much. I pass on to my daughter the hope of tomorrow and the challenge of taking life to a better place than I left her.
