Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's tempting but no, I wouldn't!. First off, it would mean that I will outlive everyone I love and I couldn't stand the thought of watching all my loved ones die before me!. also, most importantly, knowing that we can die any moment is what makes us want to live our limited life to the fullest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What a question, gave it a star,!
Lets see, this does require some good thinking!

If I choose to live forever it would have to meet some of my own criteria! Like what age could one stay at!. If it were to get older and older, and to deteriorate , that would definitely not appeal to me!. Health --is my health good, or poor!. Who would want to keep living if they were in poor health!

Reincarnation this would also have to meet some of my criteria, what would I be reincarnating to, would I just come back and live my life over and have a chance to make better choices!. Hmm a thought! If I was to come back at cat, then not too useful!. LOL

I believe when we die we go to the ground and that is it!. To make any of the choices above would take knowing more detail!. So I will leave it this way , and at least you know how I feel on this subject--very interesting

Wish you could have added something else in the question like to live forever and have it any way you want it to be!. It would have been an easier choice to make, and of course an obvious one!
To live forever and have it my way there would be peace, and respect among people
and if it was that way, there wouldn't be the problems we have today!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I'd be nice to live here for the next 4!.5 billion years!. After that Earth gets a bit nasty!.

If I thought physical death was just part of a maturing process for the soul, I would certainly prefer NOT to arrest my development by maintaining a biological existence!.

Alas, I suspect the 'afterlife' scenarios just placebos to help people avoid facing the actuality of their deaths!.

I accept my mortality, because it's stupid for fret over the inevitable!. Given a choice though, I would prefer some form of immortality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. As time goes by, the earth is becoming a worse place with war, global warming and all the present day issues!. I'm actually hoping that I won't live to see much of the things that are to come!. I'd rather die than live forever in a world that is going from bad to worse, because that wouldn't really be living to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What kind of fool would want to stay here!? Imagine immortality in hell!? Great!!. You might not die but the world is going to the dogs!. You would live through nuclear wars and watch everyone die!? Great! I already have enough evidence from Vedic literature to believe strongly in reincarnation!.!. Want to know about it!? Read Bhagavad Gita As it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no, i would'nt want to live forever!. i may exist forever, but what about Earth!? knowing that i could live forever takes way the excitement in life!. i would rather find out if it's really the end for me or there's something more after that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

oh wow, great question!.

Being a Christian myself, I would not choose to stay here forever!.

Beyond just a belief in Heaven, theres to much evil here, too much greed, selfness!. Evil prevails to much of the time for me to want to stay here forever!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

With the Total C--K U-, the way the world is!.

Would Any Sane-Rational-Reasonable Person, WANT to live on it FOREVER ! ! !

Not if they have any, COMMON SENSE!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

id stay here!. if you have eternal life then all those matters of death and an after life have no bearing on me!. id just get to love and lose a whole lot more than most!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
