is this home? - would you be happy here?
for those who belive inGod,there is no choise. your going to live forever. as for those who dont belive in an after life,sorry,but you to will live for ever. the question isnt do you want to live. the question is where,and how you will live. there endless tasks to perform for God,if your not into that,there are still,endless tasks to perform,,lol what do you think you will be doing when you dont need food any more,or shelter or when lust go's away. what would you do Now,if you didnt need these things? thinl\k as if you,,right now,,were going to live for ever,,no choise,,just it s going to be. what would you LIKE to do. If you can think beyond the present,and think in terms of eturnity,you may find, that hope and love are not as secondery as you once did. what if you had all the time in the world to learn someting,anything you wanted. if you were raised in an enviroment,where education was unavalibal to you,and now its not only availible,theres all the time in the world to learn something. what if you never felt real love in your life from ,mom,dad,brother ,sister,a girl,a boy,do you think you might have a better chance at finding it ,or establishing it,recovering it.love is the greatest pain,,and joy you will ever have,and this , being imortal,would give you that chance... these are just some thoughts about living forever. if you disagree,cool,but i would encroage you to take a positive out look on your life,perspective is everything.

i think so, if I could keep a little bit of my youth. i wouldnt want to be laid up in a bed all the time. if i could still get around and function the way i do now, then yes i would. i think the future will be a fascinating place. scientists are trying to look for ways to prolong lifer and from what i have been told. it should be possible to live to 130 or 150 years old. i think the biggest factor now a days is greed. im sure they could cure cancer but it is a multi billion dollar a year industry.

I'd would wish for the same... youth. It would be nice to live each year for about 10 years... 10 years of being 21, 22, 30, 40, 50.

not really,for one it would be boring seeing all the persons you love die before you soon you would be all alone with no friends but yourself and you get to be that way forever. but the lure of immortality is great as long as lonliness does not take over!

I can´t honestly answer that question. I think I would want to live forever, but could I support it? The loss of loved ones, the millenia living, seeing people die and rise, the loss of contact with humanity, don´t know if could be done.

Maybe but just if I didn't get old and full of illness's and things like that. I think I would not bother to live forever but only if I could live healthy.

I wouldn't want that. It would be nice to stay young and live forever. What is the point of living forever if you will continually grow old anyway. You'll be wrinkled and weak but will not die. That's awful. But just staying young won't work either if you'll die after 80 years or so. It has to be both. Plus, you have to be like that with someone you love to be with or inlove with, to make it more perfect.

No, I don't want to live forever. I believe that God has prepared a special place for me at my appointed time so why would I wanna miss out on that. This world is getting more and more corrupt everyday so why would I want to stay here. Also, I wouldn't want to see ALL my loved ones pass away.

we already live forever for there is no beginning nor end, for time is in illusion! You can stop time if you stop allowing the time to tell you how old you are! You are forever young!

I do, and I think that with the current trends in medical technology, there is a very good chance that I will. I want to do so, because there is so much to experience and learn, and I do not think that it will run out not matter how many billions of years I live for, as the Universe is full of surprises.
