If you could live forever, would you?

[Zapp Brannigan]

Advances in science are making it possible for people to really prolong their lives. Some are saying that the first person to live to be 1,000 years old is alive today. I was talking to some people about this and many said they wouldn't want to live forever, let alone 1,000 years. What would you want, if all these things were possible?

I got the idea for this from this interview. You don't need to read it:

Edit for clarity: Your "age" stays between 25-30 with this hypothetical technology.

I ask older people this question all the time and the answer is always no. They say they couldn't do it, so those of you saying yes, I'm sure your opinion will change as you grow older.

At 50, I will go to Brazil and fukk a bunch of fine ass prostitutes raw and probably catch that sh1t but who cares, I'm 50. I figure I will probably OD on coke surrounded by beautiful women before I start wasting away.

 

[Ain't That Something]

No!

 

[Why-Fi]

as of right now...yes

Nope.

Only way I'd change my answer is if your body ages with you. If I could live my 20-30s forever then it's staying yes

 

[DaPresident]

Nah, I mean what's the point?





The good AND bad thing about life is that it's short...It makes you live everyday like your last (not that YOLO crap) I mean you appreciate something when you DON'T KNOW how/when it will end...

Your body age stays the same.

i would have to commit myself to doing something very noble with my life if i could live forever. that's the only way it would be worth it, i feel...

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

depends on in what way... are we getting older the whole time?? so when i'm 200, i'll look and feel about 2 times as bad as an 100 year old??

or am i on some vampire shyt and i can live forever with the look and feel of being 30?
