Who wants to live forever?

If you could, would you want to live forever? I certainly wouldn't choose to, I think life would just get boring but I wouldn't mind being able to choose when it was time to go. That way I could make sure I would always be here for my kids when they need me, always be here for their important days. What do you think? Would you live forever, or is forever simply too long?

I would like to choose when I die as well. I don't have any kids or a hubby and there are only my elderly parents and a younger brother in m,y family so for me at 50 I would say if I wanted to now go I would choose to but only cause I have been so depressed with feelings of extreme hopelessness. Its a long story but my situations have always involve alot of bad luck, most of the time. Right now I'm facing surgery and at the same time I am thinking my dad has some kind of cancer again cause he's been losing too much weight. So it is rather depressing for me, with more going on as well as just this. I would definetly not want to live forever in my situations, everyone's life is different.

So sorry to hear that. I hope all goes well with your surgery and really hope your Dad is ok, I know how hard it is to have to watch a parent fight Cancer. I really hope your luck changes for you and things start to look up.

If I will be given that gift to live forever, then I would gladly accept it. It will give me the privilege to see the world for so many years and the chance to experience so many things in this world. But if I were to choose, I'd probably not live forever. it is simply because, we human beings are designed to live for a certain number of time. And I think it would be like a punishment if I will live forever, seeing your loved ones die one by one, and adjusting to different generations always is very difficult. I also believe that I will not enjoy my life if I will live forever unless if all my loved ones are living forever just like me.

I know that any one would feel grateful for such an offer but that would be too boring after a certain point. You would wish to leave and life won't let you go. You shall have no choices then. I would never want to live for ever.

Hello sam. I really don't want to liver forever. Sometimes life is too hard as it is. Now maybe if I had real good health I might want to at least think about living forever. When I look around and see what is happening in our world it doesn't look very attractive. Look at what is happening with children for example. We are ask to help abused animals but not abused children. The other day I was at Walmart and a lady was set up taking donation for homeless children. She told me that a city in Ohio there were 5000 teenagers that were homeless. Then there is t he terrorism that goes on all over the world. The civil wars in the middle east. Who knows when it will be where I live now. I love my country but I fear for our future. Too many people will do nothing to make changes that are need.

Although living forever sounds to be attractive, however, I am not interested in it. Try to imagine that the people who you love just pass away one by one. This is a suffering feeling and it is so depressing. I want to be natural and die peacefully. This is already good enough. I love China

I agree, imagine outliving your younger siblings, children and grandchildren.

I would certainly without a doubt want to live forever! There is so much things to do in this world so many places to travel! If I could live forever then I would probably have a lot of money because I have forever to earn them. And as the world modernize, I can see it happen. New things would be available for me to do and see...I'd feel like captain america..sort of..cause he got to see the world transform!!! Also, like I said, I would be able to be rich and get whatever I want!!

No, who wants to live forever any way!! You see once the man is old and not able to move on his own, no one wants to deal him with love and affection therefore he only pass through trusses and stress. He lives on mercy of others and some times feel like dejected. Who would want to live a life like that?

I wouldn't mind if I would live forever, if I will not die I can do whatever I wanna do in my life like learning all the languages, reading all the books,watching all the movies, listening to all the music, travelling in all the beauties in every inch of the world and eating all the delicious delicacies that people could offer. Think of all the things that you could do and the most important, If I will not die I hope my partner in life will be like me so we can do all of this together :)
