If you had the opition to live forever, would you do it?

Of course not! life is sweet while you are alive because you know that at any day that life may be taken away from you. I would want to see everybody around me just pass me by. To be mortal is a gift.

It's quite tempting, provided that you won't grow old as well, I mean what's the point of living forever if you can't run, jump and walk anymore because you're too old to do so. But on the other hand, you'd see your loved ones pass you and another set of loved ones until everyone you love would die, that would certainly be torture. I think it's best to have the option to know when you'd die, at least you'd be prepared for it.

I would live forever only if my loved ones would also. I don't want to live alone and be all alone. Also i cannot see my loved ones passing away before me. I just cannot see that. Its better to die earlier than to see that. More over world today have become extremely unsafe and cruel. I cannot imagine how it would be after 100-200 years. So its no, I would never want to live forever.

That's certainly an interesting question. Living forever would mean you will last till the end of time, and after that, who knows how you're going to live. Immortality, I probably wouldn't go for it simply because of the thought of outlasting the human race is pretty scary. On the other hand, I would gladly take eternal youth. Be young forever and take all the time I want to enjoy life, and if the human race goes, so will I.

It would be interesting to live forever but i have to say no. Tempting, but no. I will get left behind by my love ones. I'm practically alive and they are all gone. I can't call anybody family? That would really be hell.

If you go to Heaven you'll be 'living forever,' but without freedom. That DOESN'T seem like a curse to you? Whatever ... probably better than 'resting in peace,' but what do I know?

I have no doubt that heaven is so much better than what we have here. As important however in answering this I would consider one other thing. If you were able to live forever your life would be a constant string of losses. You would out live everyone you ever knew and it would not be long before you knew you would. Seeing your family go one by one would be a horrible thing let alone the same for so many future generations. Living forever here on this earth would not be a blessing but I do think you are right, it would be a curse.

No way would I want to live forever. Even if I could remain my 28 year old age and never look any older I wouldn't want to live forever. I know some people don't believe in God, Jesus, or Heaven, but I do. And I would rather live in paradise someday than keep plugging along here. For now I will live my life to the best of my ability. Life is precious. But when my times comes, I'll be ready for the other side.

Same with you. I don't want to live forever. How old me and how bad my face when i am 200 years old. Never crossed in my mind to live forever

It depends. If my family and other important people in my life can live forever too then why not. I don't want to live alone. I don't want to see my love ones go. I rather be gone first. shadow41

Eternal life? It would be amazing. If i had to live forever, i'll enjoy my life as i've done so far.

Sure, if could have the knowledge I have now but be about 25 years old. Hell, I wish that now!
