If you were given the chance to be Immortal, would you take it, why, and what would you use your Immortality to accomplish? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't take it. I couldn't bear to see the ones I love age and die while I stayed the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What are you talking about? We already have the chance to be immortal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends. would I stop aging? would I be COMPLETELY immortal (would I not die even if someone ate me?)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I doubt I would. And I don't think you can really live forever, because, with an infinite amount of time, you'll end up knowing absolutely everything and you'll have no motivation to do anything anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Harder question : would you prefer to die right now or to be immortal ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are the same thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trust the frenchman to ruin it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am so ashamed I could eat myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i wouldn't |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If i was imortal i would have no motivation to do anythink.So I would rather choose to die. And anyway it woudn't be good to finally stay alone.Just you and rubbish... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as long as I was garaunteed to remeain healthy all the time, then yes, would I get bored with life? perhaps, but I could just keep learning, I could start reading all the books in the world, learn everything, do everything, basically do all the things you can't do in a lifetime |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but... what's the point, when you would begin the quest when therre is no deadline. when would rreading all the books in the worrld help when everryone you love dies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when would you* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know. my only fear of death at this points exist in the fact that i won't be able to do everything i want to do: travel, etc etc... and i'd hate to see people i love dying. but after a couple of 100 years you'll get over it and find some new ones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and just because you arre immorrtal you would still need a job, who's saying you could afforrt to do all the things you want. you would forreverr be having to keep up with the latest advances in technology which is harrd when you've not been brrought up on it. i bet all the trramps i see arre in fact just immorrtals who've been been left behind in the race. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
scary thought, working forever. that's it, no immortality for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to be immortal only if I could be invinsible as well, and invisible when I chose to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does anyone wonder if fat tramps are onto something we don't know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just gas frrom all the lagerr they drrink |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aha! I knew there was an explananation for it somewhere. I was holding off gving money to fat tramps as I thought they were hustlers. If they're gonna spend it on Beer then it's all good. |
||||||||

if you were immortal you would have enough time to figure out a way to become rich, humans adapt, so if you lived forever you would adapt to it, I don't reckon things would get worse,.. I think they'd stay the same,.. just like they are now,.. except forever, I don't tihnk that too much about your mental state would change over time, there is always stuff to keep you stimulated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you were immortal you'd have to create a new identity every so often otherwise the authorities would be on to you and they'd perform tests on you till you died....... which is impossible if you're immortal. Unless it's immortality in the sense that you'll never die a natural death. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which is where my invinsible invisibility comes in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As well as being able to perve on girls in the saunas in female gyms. No more getting arrested :D! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always wanted to know how it would be like to jump out of a plain and crash, i would do that for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would definately not turn down the chance to be immortal, are you nuts?! Think of all the things you could do! Drive like a maniac, become a superspy or commando or something, it wouldn't matter because you'd have no fear of getting hurt. More importantly though, aren't you dying to know where technology will go hundreds of years from now? I want space travel!!!!! |

"with an infinite amount of time, you'll end up knowing absolutely everything and you'll have no motivation to do anything anymore." > i don't know... wouldn't you forget? (and also you don't need to know everything to have no motivation at all ; )) "humans adapt, so if you lived forever you would adapt to it," > i'm not sure we could adapt ourselves to something like this...... humans adapt, yeah, but there are limits to adaptation too, and eternity has no limits at all... anyway i would prefer to die right now and i wouldn't want immortality, it would be horribly boring, infinitely boring even probably, also horrible to see everyone you like die before you (you'd probably end up misanthropic avoiding every contact - same thing with objects, they'd all decay before you), plus i already don't feel well with myself now, i could never bear eternity being myself, it would be like being locked with someone you don't like forever... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not interested in doing everything, knowing everything.... (besides i'm not sure being immortal would enable you to do this: you would have all the future before you, yeah, but you'd miss all the past... and you couldn't be everywhere at the same time so you'd also miss lots and lots of parts of the future, you'd only see just a very little bit of it actually.... - and knowing all? only if you had an infinite memory/brain! would this be included in an "infinite package"? - doing all? immortality doesn't include super powers....) |

Zephyr, you're a star - I love you |
||||||||

would you be immortal as in invincible, or would you have an achilles heel (i.e. stake through the heart, decapitation by another immortal as in highlander, etc.) If I were invincible and immortal I would hop on to a spaceship and fly straight into a blackhole to see what would happen. Would my physical body be indestructable (would my physical body be reduced to a singularity while an 'essence' remained connected to the material world or would my body defy physics, and if so what effect would this have on the black hole? Would I just not fit into it, or would it cause some sort of reversal of the laws of physics which would unravel the entire universe?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What would happen to you when the sun swallows up the earth and eventually burns out? Would you live in the middle of a burnt out star or something? For ever? I'd want to know that kinda stuff first! Yeah I'd rather be immortal in a reincarnating way (like I am now) - Living lots of short lives with some kind of progression towards something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to live at this age in this life for a few thousand years though, definetly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, what if the world ended, would I be forced to remain immortal, alone until the end of time (assuming time ended). Could I will my self to die eventually? What if I became stranded in space? If I couldn't die, would I have to stay there forever? Maybe flying into a black hole wouldn't be a good idea ... maybe swimming to the bottom of the deepest trench in the ocean, and then timing how long it took me to swim to the top, sprint to Mt. Everest, then climb that! |

shark wrestling would be fun, or tickling a polar bear. skinny dipping into nuclear reactors .. the possibilities are endless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would only choose to become imortal if I had the option to be able to end it myself, like a button to push or something Don;t know what I'd do with it butI could have alot of fun =oD |
||||||||

I AM immortal |

Immortality means you could never die...it makes no guarantees over quality of life. You could drive like a maniac, end up having your arms and legs cut off and still be alive forever It also doesn't mean you can't be hurt or feel pain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't take it, unless I could end it at any point. But it's never that simple, eh? If I had to live forever no matter what, forget it. Too much pain and anguish, and I don't want to be there for the apocalypse. What will happen to me after? Will I just be floating in Limbo? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
little bits of conscious flesh would be floating about in nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
myeh, but you'd have to wait for hundreds of years too. booooooooring. even after you've crashed a few cars. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd take the chance if it were presented to me. yep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd get cancerr of everrything afterr a cerrtain amount of time and just be a huge everr grrowing tumorr |
||||||||
|
|

What'd happen - You'd stay on earth until life on this planet died out - I'd give it 10,000 years tops, but it could even happen in our lifetime... Then you'd have to find another inhabited planet to hang about on. So you'd have to get into space and travel... The furthest point in the universe from us now is 15 billion light years away - 15 billion years travelling at the speed of light - Which you wouldn't be.. So in your life you'd spend billions and billions of years floating around in isolation - Then you'd forget how to act around other people, become a total sociopath most likely... Then, if you were lucky, every few billion years you might find a planet which contained life... But then it would get eaten up soon enough and you'd go back to floating around space. You would spend 99.9999999999% of your life floating - Not being able to eat, breathe air, talk to anyone, etc... No I'm talking crap actually, you'd have to build a space ship - You'd have long enough to do it - Until the end of human kind - That could be cool... You'd have to take a bunch of people with you - Keep the human race going in space and just float around... Still, nothing could be worse than NEVER being able to leave your life. |

to be honest i'd rratherr just be dead. |
