Would you be immortal

shuridunno

With all the Hollywood vampire hype and how being immortal seems to make you instantly sexy, strong, fit, healthy and just downright pefect....would you choose it.

I don't think I would, I couldn't imagine putting in an eternity on this world, but then again, if I was perfect and could dodge death, grow back body parts and survive without food, be happy and travel all over the world knowing no matter what happens I'd be ok, it might make me think twice.

So, would you choose it, immortality, not being a vampire.

If immortality brought a few special powers with it, what would you choose.

I'd pick mind reading and flying.

PS..did a search and didn't find a similar thread...only one debating weather you actually thought you were immortal 5 months ago in AH and some other ones years older.

We are made from the dust of the stars and that's what we will return to.
So in a way, we are immortal..

I'd rather be innortan.

Having the ability to see through clothes...sometimes.

Immortality is easy depending on how many mushrooms you find.

No. I wouldn't mind a longer lifespan of a few hundred years though. That'd be dandy :cool:

You mortals are always jealous. Immortality is not as glamorous as it sounds. However when you are a god it is......

Would be cool. When humans invent a spaceship, travel around the solar system, see can you travel back in time, travel some more.

If it comes with an "End Immortality Now" option then sure.

El Guapo!

If I could choose when to die then id probably do it. Like if I got bored after a thousand years or something and I could choose to die then it'd be grand!

nothing worse than spending millions of years floating in space all alone once the earth had been destroyed.

There's have to be some way to end it I suppose. Vampires can fry in the sun, unless you're making a sequel and then you just glow with diamond skin like those yokes in Twilight.

Maybe a secret off button.

We're only immortal for a limited time......

Do we get to go out fighting with swords every 100 years like those lads in the Highlander, that would be cool.

Immortal doesn't necessarily mean invulnerable. Not dying/growing old naturally but still being able to die is a far more relatively realistic and pragmatic question to ask. I would opt in at the drop of a hat. Very few people are going to do themselves or the world a favor by dying if they didn't need to.

There are a few people I've met in my lifetime that I have an issue just forgetting them after what is now....(what seems a lifetime now).... I'd need Faithess and Insomnia blasting my ears just to keep me conscious. To answer your question, No! I wouldn't like to be immortal. BTW, being immortal and spending each minute, hour, day, week, year remembering who I loved and lost? nah! I'd sooner spend a lifetime regretting than an eternity wondering...

yes just so I can see what happens

Don't worry you'd be suffering some serious dementia after the first hundred years or so.

LONG JAUNT DAD! LONGER THAN YOU THINK!

But yeah I'd do it. I could spend half eternity just figuring out the basics. After that the rest would be gravy. I think the fear of immortality comes form Americans who see paradise as being retirement, rather than learning more and more all the time.
