Just wondering...
Assuming you were assured of good health, if you could live forever would you?

If I was in good health I would want to live forever. I think the world itself is infinite so I would always be finding new things to do.

I think we DO live forever, but not in the same exact skin. I seem to have some vague memories from other times.

I wouldn't want to live forever. Live is too hard, too much of a struggle.

I would love to live forever if I could be sure that the people I cared about could live as long as they wished.
When I think of all the changes that have happened just since the 1970's (both good and bad) I'm curious about what things will be like 80 years from now.

I just wanted to add that as members of the childfree community that we should be less accepting of the idea that there needs to be death because without death no children could be born.

That's the only way I would want to continue living, if people I care about could live and be healthy as well. I do NOT want to be kept alive by whatever means however, if I am of no use to anyone, out of my mind, in the shell of a body, or in pain, especially if I am in horrible pain.

I would only say yes if I knew that the future was okay overall. There are certain times in history that I would not want to be a part of - too much strife unless you were very wealthy, and even then it could be grim. So, too, might be times in the future. And what would happen if something cataclysmic happened to the earth? You know, a nasty run in with a meteor or something that killed everyone. Would I just be floating around after that, still alive? No thanks, unless there was a better place to go!
