Position:Home>Philosophy> Given these pros of living forever....would you?


Question:Ok, so if you could live forever, under the conditions that:
- you're not immortal, if you want to die you could kill yourself or just die by accident somehow
-everyone else had a shot at living forever
- you could stay young

As well as the knowing the possibilites that:
- If something does happen to the world, humanity could move onto another planet or universe and/or build another planet like earth one day (due to advanced technology)
- People would constantly be making up and discovering new things, so you would never get bored
- Advanced technology would allow you to back up your memory on a chip or something similar so you'd always have your memories

....would you want to ?

Assuming the average life span is 70. with 17 leap years
To live one day at a time will mean-365 x 70 + 17 lovely days
To live every hour of it-[24 x 365 x 70] + [24 x 17] great hours
To live every minute of it-[60 x 24 x 365 x 70] + [60 x 24 x 17] fantastic minutes
To live every second-[60 x 60 x 24 x 365 x 70] + [60 x 60 x 24 x 17] wonderful seconds
and to live every moment ? Certainly!

YES

sure, sign me up

I would deffinately go for it because i am afraid of death.

of course

yes. mostly cause idk what there is after life.

well, if it could be perfect like that.....
no.

i would because i think heavon will be cool but living and feeling pain kicks *** too, and the new stuff and all would kick *** also

Yes, i would.
Even if, at times i want to die anyway.

Sounds OK, so where do we sign up?

Why speculate about the impossible?

Some religions tell us that the soul lives forever.

I most likely wouldn't, but not by choice I imagine I could only make it a couple of hundred years before I'm killed

Yes, but I haven't had any luck yet. Every time I ride the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, I always tell everyone not to look in the eyes of Mara, but sure enough, someone always does.

j-r

Sure, who wouldn't.

Absolutely! I have so much I want to accomplish and I never have enough time to get everything done. It would give me a chance to right my wrongs and strengthen my weaknesses.

Sweet deal, dude. I'll take it any day.

If it doesn't cost too much.

as isee.. i think i am concerned with life cycle God has given, we are just people servants and follewers of God, we must die and ge back to Him, their are no greater feeling than to be with Him forever, ithats the best part of being a human.

No, it'd get too crowded.




But that probably wouldn't be my choice if i had been born into said world.

theres gotta be a catch
whoever is making this deal with you must have something up their sleeve

I would not. I think certain things would lose their value after time passes and there are things Id rather not see in my lifetime.Oh and if u can die then how is it living forever?

its will be cool not to age and live for a long time
but the part of finding a new planet to live on is difficult.
Humans dont have the Technology to creat a new planet or a spaceship to travel those great distances. Plus the lack of oxygen, food, and water will cuase death on the trip. As well as the time to reach a new galaxy, and that's a lot of years on a ship. Plus if humans happen to find a new planet dont you think the same problems will happen again? I mean humans are the smarts race, but the most selfish of them all! We would not give up our way of life! If you dont belive me just look around at the news, world pollution, war, ecomony, ect. all this problems are fixable! but we dont want to.
but hey what the hell I see your point so I guess that would be sweet *** ride!
