If you could, would you live forever? or would you like to die one day?

Id like to live forever, and I think that I will live forever. I cant see why not :)

I dont see why life would be boring if I lived forever. New technology and all that. Ive been alive 25 years so far and im still not bored yet.

Plus if I did pop it and there is no after life, then it will have been no point in dieing would there :)

I think I'd like to live forever if it were possible.

For just £1000 I can give you some medicine that will allow you to live forever. If it doesnt work I guarantee you a full refund :thumbsup:

but you wouldnt exist, so you wouldnt know that there wasn't no point, so you actually win.

technology, how many technological items do you use daily apart from ya PC?

Definitely not- I don't want to live forever- I mean I'm not ready to go yet (at least on a good day I'm not), but life only has its precious qualities because of death.

I'd live forever, provided I wasn't old and decrepit by the time the "forever" part kicked in. I've got ideas, goals and interests that could keep me occupied for eternity. Plenty of time to nap, too!:thumbsup:

I would like to live long enough to see my children and grandkid,s grow up. maybe pop my clog,s around 90 :huh: then again may get to 90 and want to see my great grankid,s grow up Just enjoy everyday, live life to the full.

i think the idea of having to live forever is pretty bad even on a good day. surely it would get so boring and you would be constantly seeing those who you love dying before you.

I would like to live "as long as I wanted".

Which would probably mean with full mental faculties and a reasonable level of physical health.

It would also mean being able to pack it in, if I wanted!

I read once that the average person would die at 1500 years old (from an accident) if no-one died of natural causes.

Perl - based on current accident rates and your chance of dying each year, you would statistically have a 27% chance of living forever. 1500 may be a reasonable average but there would be the potential for much longer (and shorter) lifespans. I'm working on it (doing my dissertation on the molecular basis of ageing and hopefully I might be able to continue on to do a PhD in a related field). Helpful links:

http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/sens/ (This has a lot of information for laypeople)

Journals for the more scientifically inclined - Rejuvenation Research, Experimental Gerontology.

If anyone's interested ask me in August and you can have a look at my dissertation, which will be a kind of review of the field as a whole, the current state of knowledge and hopes for the future.

No way! I would want to die like normal people!

You would get so sick of getting close to people then watching them grow old and die, that eventually you'd just be really lonely :(

i dont die or dont grow old,
like ive said in previous posts im in neverland!!!!!!!!!

When is Michael due back??

soon, ill let you know in pm when he is.

i would live forever... so i could dream forever... so i could smile forever... so i could love forever

I would like to die, even if it was just to see if the after life is free from pain. :(

Jeez! I would'nt want to live this life forever. Talk about eternal damnation.
I'd like to live again and next time be dealt a winning hand.

It all depends if i did live forever will i be like a vegatable and not be able to move much. as you do see old people strugle at age over 60 so if i was over 200 will i be able to walk about and talk. If this was the case then no i want to die and not live, as no point in liveing just to see the wall's of a house or some people from time to time.

i'd like to live forever if it was as i am now....think of it.....the prospect of constant upgrades as humans got more technical! maybe i'd be able to fly.....wweeeeeeee!

:hihi:

i'd give anything to live forever as long as i never aged phsycally.
there is far too much beauty to see and experience in the world for one meagre lifetime.

You cheeky devil, you. :)

I am over 60 but still manage to make it to the Betting Shop, Toilet, Car Boot Sales and Big Macs etc......not necessarily in that order.

OK, I have to wear incontinance pads, longjohns, ear muffs and bottle- bottomed glasses. I have a regular appointment to see the local Quack, who welcomes me like a case of the Black Death.

I am looked upon as a menace at the local Supermarket, and sometimes start a fight at the A & E when I get treatment after a night out, but other than that I am quite placid, once the medication kicks in.

My motorised Scooter gets me right into the thick of things at the Leadmill, and, I still like Big Bopper.

So don't be cheeky, please, you young whippersnapper! :D

I don't have any 90 year old mates, you little vixen.:)

I promise not to tell anyone, that's a promise......

A small payment of £1000, cash in hand, will secure my word on it. :thumbsup:

OK then, make it 10p and it's a deal. :D

I don't have any 90 year old mates, you little vixen.:)

Cheeky!.... that's because you have outlived them so far. :P

I'd like to die one day,
if you could live forever would everyone else live forever? other wise you'd see everyone you loved die before you, your kids etc, not good! and would you still get old or stay young forever? see so much to think about.

Thats what happened to Tom Hanks in green mile.

I'd like to live forever, just to see what happens!

If I stayed the same as I am now, yes I'd like to live forever..

But if I aged and aged as normal but just didn't die, I'll stick to my original plan of dying before I reach 40. I don't plan on staying long :)

I would like both, I would LOVE to live forever but then I would want to die when I'm good and ready and there is nothing else on this earth for me to do.

At the moment I'd say I wanna live forever as I am so scaired of getting old and dying anyway that I dont wanna think about it.

So for me LIVE FOREVER

;-)

Let me die a young man's death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
'what a nice way to go' death

An extract from Still Life by Van Der Graff Generator:

Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now
dumb:
What have we become?
What have we chosen to be?
Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of
our name-
nothing can ever be the same:
now the Immortals are here.
At the time it seemed a reasonable course
to harness all the force
of life without the threat of death,
but soon we found that boredom and inertia
are not negative, but all the law we know,
and dead are will and words like survival.

Arrival at immunity from all age, all fear and
all end...
why do I pretend?
Our essence is distilled
and all familiar taste is now drained,
and though purity is maintained
it leaves us sterile,
living through the millions of years,
a laugh as close as any tear;
living, if you claim that all
that entails is breathing, eating, defecating,
screwing, drinking,
spewing, sleeping, sinking ever down and down
and ultimately passing away time
which no longer has any meaning.

--------------------------------------------

Mind you I would choose forever in a snap, so long as I had company.

I'll stick to my original plan of dying before I reach 40. I don't plan on staying long :)

Shall we remind you of that on the eve of your 40th birthday?:D

I'd love to live forever, so much has happened to the world over the last century - imagine what you could live to see over the next few. It'd let me and everyone else put some serious time into getting better at what they're good at, and if the root causes of ageing were removed maybe everyone would be able to enjoy the vitality of youth? I think ageing is the major thing holding humanity back from doing a much better job of things - with no excuse of 'I'll be dead by the time climate change kicks in' or 'I'm going to die anyway so I might as well take drugs etc.' there'd be a lot more motivation to take care of ourselves and our world.
