It depends on if I were the only person who had this choice, or if there were others. If others also had this choice, then maybe I would too--kind of like when humans in Greek or Roman mythology are made immortal--there are several others like them to communicate and be with, they are in the prime of life forever, and can still interact with humankind. If I were the only one given this choice, then I would decline for the same reason every else has expressed--I would hate to lose so many loved ones and not have anyone to share my full life with.

Thats why i dont think that i would do it because if i dont have family,friends,that share the same ability then life isnt worth living forever. Thanks for commenting!!

When I was a teenager I read All men are mortal by Simone de Beauvoir. At that moment I decided that I would not want to live forever by any means. It is not only that the people you care about start to die: that also happens in any normal life. The worst thing is that when you have all the time in the world, thereĀ“s nothing at all that you care to do. You can find new people to surround you but it is the sense of mortality that gives a real sense to our life on earth.

I think if I get chance for living forever then I want to visiting whole worlds and want to meet different-2 peoples and want to care for them. Because there are many fewer people who always give help to strangers but I really want to help to persons who really needed. So I want to visit whole worlds and want to know the problem s of the peoples.

Man, this sounds like a vampire calling. I don't wanna live forever. I even wanna die now. The world is so depressing to live in. If the world is a vampire... then it already sucked the life out of me... and yet here I am alive... what more if I have to live forever.

No, that would suck because you would live to see everyone who you've ever loved die.
