If You could live forever *Now with Poll*

Was thinking about the film, 'The Fountain' and it got me thinking about eternal life, If you could live forever

Would you really want to?

and what would you do?

EDIT: you stay the age you currently are and CANT kill yourself. Kinda like Vandal Savage

Does it come with a ridiculous haircut,a cool sword and a chick with big boobs?

I want to live forever but stay young, and be able to kill myself if desired.

I'd love to.

What would I do?

Witness humanity's technological progress ( and go to space when affordable )

If I could live forever than I think my life wouldn't really have a purpose. I mean don't get me wrong I want to live fora VERY long time, but there would be serious problems with living forever I think. For one if you fell in love than that means they'll die and you'll still be around and never see them again after death(if you believe in that) and you'll be witnessing all the wars and suffering that occur forever and ever. And not really being able to intervine and do anything, plus there would be other issues like if you have a family and they die even your kids but your still here and you outlived them. Kind of sad....

If we all lived forever then life wouldn't really have a purpose becasue we wouldn't feel the need to improve ourselves before we died. Death does have a purpose I guess, the thing is to live your life the best you can until you die. And not beinng able to die sort of takes away the meaning of that, if that makes any sense?

Again I am NOT saying that people should die nor am I suicidal. I'm just giving my answer, but again I want everyone to live as long as possible.

First thing I'd do is travel the world..Just-Breathe

Not forever, but I would like a choice in when I die without the various bad afterlifes all the religions say will happen if you kill yourself (if one of them happen to be right). Otherwise, I'd love living thousands of years to see scientific progress, but all the deaths of people I love would be depressing.

Depends if I stopped aging when I reached 30 or something. If so, then I would work for about 100 years and save all the cash, put it in the bank and live off the interest.

Well think about this, If I'm still alive when the world ends.. i'll just drift on and on in space for A VERY LONG TIME... although it'd be kind of cool to find some other crazy universe full of lifeletlive4

No. Many reasons, for one thing i am bored as it is with life.

Also this boredom i feel would eventually make me turn to do immoral things for an adrenaline rush. I'm too moral for that.

If i live past 50 i'll be gutted.

seeing other planets would probably be the thing i would like to do most.

it wouldn't get boring because technology keeps advancing so you would be seeing different things constantly throughout your life.

The thing is why I asked the question is while watching 'the fountain' the scenes with Hugh jackman's charater in that buble flying into the nebula made me write theOP. It is about asking you guys, not really if you could live forever, but if you could with yourself forever?

I wouldn't want to live forever. Even if anyone else could be immortal with me and we would never age, I still wouldn't want to.grimseeker

what if it was the man or woman of your dreams?

If I was immortal, I would pick other people to be immortal along with me. Circumventing the whole "forever alone" thing. JinjonatorX

I would definitely take the offer. Gives you all the time in the universe to learn all of its secrets. You might find a way to ascend to a higher plan of existence if there is one, or you would simply spend all eternity by yourself, unless you mastered the ability to materialize a new universe and play god with your new creation. :D
