| So yes i know we can't have the choice of becoming immortal but even hypothetically speaking when the question is asked i see the majority actually rejecting the idea of being immortals. So to me it is quite unexplainable why anyone will reject such a thing. I see answers like "i don't want to see my family and friends get old and die etc" and am thinking "So what? If you die of old age then you will probably see most of them die anyway". Why wouldn't you want to live and try to do everything you dream and experience billions of things? I see it in stories too. Were immortals say they got sick of living and are bored and they seek death(which i guess represents the feelings of the writer of such stories) and all am thinking is "What a bunch of morons. You got bored of living? WTf does that mean? How simplistic and lacking of imagination of possibilities can you be?" Another thing is that i feel that dieing is such a waste. You spend so much time learning things and accumulating experience and knowledge(well at least those with some brain do) and yet it all goes to waste. there are people who waste a big part of their life getting knowledge and specializing in things and then they just die. Isn't that a waste? It just makes you feel you shouldn't bother because you have so little time that what use will there be of wasting all that time in learning shit if you have so little time to make use of that knowledge. So what are your feelings about it? |

| Just think about how tiring it must be to live forever |
| I wouldn't want to be immortal. I would be terribly bored. |

| I think many of us base our lives, and choices on the idea that we die. So if we were to live forever. I think I am not wired to do it. |

isekai said: a lot of religion promises eternal life in heaven or afterlife and majority of the world follows this kinds of religion so i call bullshit on this Well why so many say that living forever is tiring then when it comes to living on earth. Maybe they dislike the idea of having to actually do things instead of being in a fluffy cloud. The second actually sounds more boring to me. Or maybe they themselves know deep down they are bullshiting themselves about this eternal spirit life. Who knows. |
| I would only want to be immortal if I had someone to love who is also immortal. It would feel lonely to lose everyone as they age and die. Also would be nice if one could choose to die. Some of the people that reject it believe in an immortal afterlife as is so they probably see an immortal life as banishment from heaven and hell. Some people think it will just become boring since you eventually will be able to experience everything but death. |

| The soul is immortal in my view... but if we're just talking about immortality in the material realm, I'd be accepting of it if that was God's will. I'm not taking any Baccano-esque deals with the Devil though... |
| It's the experience of having your loved one's die again and again that people don't want. If you live to be like 100, yeah, most of your loved one's can die, but only one time. If you live to be 10,000, I'm pretty sure you'd want another wife, and family, so you'd have to go through 10's of them. Also i you think about it, what if you get captured and tortured and you can't die cause you're immortal. That would be shit. |
 |
| Think about how you will see everyone you love die before you. You will never follow them to death because you will be living on forever. I would think at some point the person would be it's meaningless to make new relationships because they will be hurt once they run of time. |

| Don't know about you but my number one wish is immortality. Hopefully I can achieve that before I die through future technology or something. I want to see what the future holds and not wither away without seeing the earth grows. |

| The idea of immortality exists in different religious contexts like someone else mentioned. The western conception of divine reward (paradise after death) acts as a philosophical leap of judgement concerning the futility of human existence. Death is enigmatic, especially with what comes after. It's not surprising that the human imagination through times of antiquity and modernity has always seemed to want to escape the interconnected thread of life and death. Prefacing that, ask yourself what purpose immortality would serve to an individual. Is it merely to continually exist out of a habitual fear of death or is there a greater purpose to an individuals immortality that would transcend its condition for the betterment of society at whole? One could argue that purpose is found in the face of meaninglessness. From this point, it's easy to navigate either in the direction of nihilism or a rebellious affirmation to live for the sake of living. |

Actually it may be preferable since when you live eternally you will get bored of committing to one person. I mean the crazy love couples have even now only really last the first years of a relationship and afterwards the best case scenario you just develop a sense of familiarity. Most couples get bored of each other because knowing each other so many years they know what the other will say even before he/she opens his/her mouth. Maybe is better not to have them around forever. I mean even if they were immortals like you, you will probably decide not to be with each other after some point. You have eternal life. That means you get to and experience countless things. Is pointless ans trivial doing the same thing every day when you have such a life. Such things only make sense in the spec of limited relatedly short lifespan. |

| Have you sometimes look at the skies and the moon and how beautiful it is? That's what's it like to think of immortality. Just beautiful in eyes. Why do people reject such thing? Because reality is a very good bitch. |

There is no such thing as life imprisonment for an immortal. Can comment on conditions etc although if you are a self healing immortal then i guess having conditions won't be an issue. |

No one has the patience to sit and torture you for years non end just for the hell of it. |
DateYutaka said: immortality is not agelessness based on how i see it Immortality can only be ageless.There is no way to be immortal and age. Human beings reach a peak of their cells condition and after that they start deteriorating. An immortal being will most likely stay still at that age of full maturity of it's cell structure that is around 25 for most males and little earlier for females. The only reason you age is because you are dieing since your cells to not have unlimited lifespan and they deteriorate with the result of you aging. An immortal being will not have cells that deteriorate therefore it can not age. Actually it makes more sense for someone becoming younger with a certain timespan if he becomes immortal in an advanced age since now that his cells are unlimited they will produce better cells as they divide instead of deteriorating ones. |

| I wouldn't mind becoming immortal, well only if I can't get older physically. I think immortality would make life a lot more exciting knowing that I can't die. Well I think I would first just live normally till everyone around me has died, then I could try master all kinds of (difficult) things like certain fighting styles or music instruments. I could travel the world to see all kinds of different people and religions, I could also do stuff that would be too dangerous if I could die. There are too many things for humans to do in life, even if it's eternal. So yes, I would gladly accept immortality. |

Such things only make sense in the spec of limited relatedly short lifespan. Yes, you just die if you weren't immortal. I'm arguing that your relationship with those who you love and care about ends with them, while for yourself, you feel the ever lingering pain that comes with death. In the end, you can choose to make close relationships with people, but ultimately, once the time runs out, you are left alone again. Even if they were immortal, you still will be in contact with them, whether you get bored of them, because most people don't know the true value until you lose it. They will always have the opportunity to strike up a conversation or make memories with you, but those who aren't immortal won't have those chances after their time is up. Also don't judge if a person will give up that easily on a relationship, especially considering many people do grow old together. Overall, it's all up to what you think. If you truly imagine immortally as a godsent gift, then that's good because you will enjoy your time forever on earth. I don't reject immortality, I just don't find it fitting for my desires. |

| I don't think bad the idea of living more than 100 years, but immortality is something far beyong our imagination, just think about what would happen after the humanity disappears by some catastrophe and you be the last human alive, it would be an terrible burden to carry on. I find funny when anime/cartoon/comics villains wish for that, ok, but what next? You will just wait and watch time pass by? It is just nonsense. Also, it would be very painful to see all your relatives dying one by one. |

If something so big happens that will destroy everything then most probably you will die too. |
| I personally don't really understand why. If you look at it from a purely logical standpoint, living forever would objectively be a good thing. Sure, you would watch the people around you die, but in an infinite life that would inconsequential, it makes take a hundred years to get over it, but that's nothing compared to the length of life you would have. Although, the greatest benefit would (in my opinion) being able to accomplish everything. With an infinite life, you could learn infinite skills, consume every piece of art, gain every experience, see everything. It would really be a perfect existence. |

Yet there are many way of torture were they can put you under amazing pain while keeping you alive even when you are just a normal human. So what is the point? Is not like being a normal human will do well for you if get catch by crazy torturers. I guess the point is "don't get captured by the biggest psycho on the planet".

Rarusu_ said: Because to live is a guarantee for suffering. You can reduce the suffering and you may feel joy every now and then, but for the most part it's stressful, boring and lonley. I would have to become a full time alcoholic to bother with it for longer than necessary. Some people are more easygoing though and could perhaps manage immortality, but I think they belong to the minority. Isn't a reason life feels so much like suffering because you are just a weak mortal. If you are immortal will you really care as much about life's suffering? A mortal is scared because the fear of death looms over him and bad things in life bring that death closer. bad times will feel less significant to an immortal because he will think "Is not like this is gonna kill me. I'll be fine in the end ". |
| I think immortality would be nice, only if humans develop feasible space travel before we all blow ourselves up or something. If I have to be on earth until the sun engulfs it, I’ll pass. |

So we're all weak because we don't have the same life and our views don't align with yours? By the way, having difficulty making it day-to-day doesn't equate to being scared, and you blanket every single person by saying "a mortal is scared because the fear of death looms". What bullshit. That's not even the only option of fear one would have during their life, there's a lot fucking worse things than death. Secondly, the problem a lot of people have isn't fear or fear of death in the first place. So what you're portraying might fit for you, but doesn't stand as an acceptable measurement for the rest of us. Thirdly, you say "bad times will feel less significant to an immortal because he will think "Is not like this is gonna kill me. I'll be fine in the end"" when you quoted me and @Rarusu_ and then completely contradicted yourself in your quote of @RedPlaty where you say "Just because we say immortal it doesn't mean you are some untouchable existence." So while you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about in your own mind, how about you leave our beliefs and ideals out of it and try to take care of your own problems you seem to think you don't have. |

| I definitely don't reject the idea of immortality. |
 |
| Because you're gonna be hunted down by people who wanna see how you work, how you tick. Because everyone around me will die and I see no point. The difference in living normally is, yes, people you love and treasure will die, but if you were immortal then a shit ton of generations of people you care about will die over and over and over again. Eventually that's going to fuck you up. |

 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| It's an anime/fiction trope that immortality always results in failure/unhappiness. Nobody has actually experienced it to tell you how it goes/feels, it's only assumed that you will go crazy from seeing people die and generations pass by, it's also assumed that you'll be stupid enough to be hunted down by scientists/government. However, there is truth/logic in that you will not want to make yourself known very much. I'd say someone with a strong mental foundation may become a successful immortal. If your purpose in life is simply to love and be loved in return, immortality will be painful, if your purpose in life is to achieve great things, become famous, etc. and be rewarded for your achievements, then immortality is still not for you. HOWEVER, if you wish to explore the world, physically or philosophically, become someone of unparalleled wisdom, if you're a truthseeker in all things, if you wish to observe human development, etc. then immortality can be a blessing. Essentially, if you can live without external gratification, you can happy without influence of others/what others think of you, if you're satisfied with see other people's lives unfold and possibly influence through acting as a mysterious guru/adviser/philosopher, then the idea of immortality may not sound so bad. |
