If you could become immortal would you do it?

I think that it's really cool to never worry about illnesses and death. But, I think it's also very sad to see the people around you grow up and die while you stay the same forever. I don't want to grow old but don't want to live forever eather. What do you think?

I think that it would be cool to be immortal but I agree with you. I honestly can not imagine what it must be like to see the people you love grow old and die for hundreds of generations. If it became such that I was immortal I think that I would become very religious. I mean I would need his help and faith to believe in Him to get me through that. You'd be watching people who love you die and then watching other's and their kids who you love die and so forth. Seriously. I wouldn't know what to do.

If I had a choice I would say no. Being forever young would annoy me, because then I'd miss out on all the experiences of getting old. However, if I became immortal against my will, I'd find a way to cope. Probably would end up trying to be a super hero or something.

I would want to be immortal but of course like everyone it would be hard to see the people I know grow old and die when I have stayed the same. On the other side it would be very nice to see how the world changes over time, and getting to see all the changes and not have to worry about dieing.

If i was immortal i guess i would focus on starting to help people more often and set a business up which i could run easly since i won't have to worry about time. You're right about watching those around you die and you could very well go insane put in this scenerio but i would make the most what i can just like i do now. Kudos! ~Joey
