Who Wants to Live Forever Poll

[cupidsbow]

After the surprising popularity of the up the duff poll (I didn't think that many of you were interested in Matt and Ben, not to mention mpreg), I'm feeling all poll-y. So here's another one, asking the crucial question, if you could live forever would you want to?

Poll who wants to live forever?

Kinda depends what you mean by living forever. If you believe in reincarnation or an afterlife, then everyone lives forever anyway, just in different forms.

But if you mean living the same life, as the same person, forever, then no. Life without death would be kind of pointless, really. Where's the incentive to enjoy it? Eternal life would take the value out of everything.

Somewhere in Lord of the Rings, in the books I think, there was a phrase, that Men had the gift of death (because even though Elves can die, they don't do it from old age etc).

This poll reminds me of conversation between me & my cousin(high school history teacher). She have high interest on healthy life style(mostly food).
She once joked me that she would eat ANYTHING if it help her to live longer, healthier. I said, "Well, I don't want to live forever. If you are live long, healthy life, that's good - but what happiness without your friends, loved ones?"

That's my answer for your poll. I don't want a life without my loved ones. :)

Yes. But only if I don't have to cut off other people's heads to survive. *isn't good with a sword*

I want my cake and eat it too.

Assuming that my body stays somewhere in the range of late-20's, early-30's I'd be pretty happy to live for a really long time, exit point of my own choosing. I'd love to be able to have a good bite of doing everything, including my long held dream of zero-gravity sex.
