Live forever... it'd be fun trying to kill myself and seeing where mankind goes and what we accomplish and stuff.

Mmmmmm it would get boring after a while though. All your friends and family would get old and die and you would be all alone. I rather die I guess.

yeah you gotta think of the other side too guys. You'd never be able to get a long term relationship if you stayed the same age. You'd have to work to support yourself forever. You'd never be able to "retire". Developing meaningful relationships would be pointless since everyone you know will eventually die.

It's a much harder question if you really think of the downsides of living forever.

Thats because if you lived forever and no one else did you would eventually become the last person on earth. The solitude and lack of companionship would drive you nuts and you would wish that you could die tomorrow.

I would rather live a long but reasonably normal length life....forever is a long time and as mentioned there is a downside to it.
