| At first I though I would say yes, but after I gave it some though, I would really hate to live forever, eventually I would want to die. And yeah, you mean Tuck Everlasting, lol =) Though the book was far better then the movie IMO. |

| Living forever or death forever? Being scared shitless of death, it's hard to decide. |

| I would happily be immortal, but as long as the following conditions happen: 1. I get to control how I look etc etc 2. My bodily functions do not age 3. Everyone that I know and see and meet gets to become immortal as well. 4. Earth never dies. 5. Eternal Youth That's it for now, if I come up with anymore conditions, I'll edit them in ^_^. |

| No We are born to life, then death. Its the way of life and it wouldl somewhat upset a balance in some certain way I believe. Even so, Time may evertually get to you. The human mind can be effected in many ways. You could then search for the peace (suchs as death) but will not have the option for it, being immortal. Dont know if I explained myself well, but it could have longterm drawbacks. I person want to live, then die when my time is up. |
| Coming soon! |

However, as time is eternal, you will get better and embrace life again. You'll find a new reason to be (and rotate forever, constant flux). If time isn't eternal, your pains will end with the end of time. |

| I wonder one thing though. Does immortality imply that even if your body is totally destroyed, you will still be "alive" as a consciousness (ghost)? |
   |
| Yes, undeniably. I'm way too obsessed with the apocalypse to not want to be around when it happens. And I'm too curious; I want to see the future and technology. |

| Take it from me...Being immortal is not all it's cracked up to be. Yes it has it's benifits, but at the same time it has it's bad parts. Sure, you live for ever...that just leaves you with the fact that if someone was to capture you, they could toruture you with out you ever dying. Also, eventually society will end and cities will fall. War will happen, and the planet will start to die after thousands of years, and you, and what ever other immortal (or creature that can live in that type of barren) is out there. Unless we have the technolgy to get off and get to another planet with stable life. Of course, if I ever had to go to war, I know I would survive. I am happy being an immortal though :P |

| Yes, I would. I'd like to see how this world ends at least. |
 |
| UM YEAH! :) that'd be beastin! |
 |
| personally i like to be immortal if i would have other great powers too(don't get me wrong i would want to find a way and get the power and immortality raher than getting it as a gift or something... easy come,east go...) but i think god would know better to let people be immortal anyway and for the sake of justice you shouldn't be the only immortal and if other peoples are immortal too then i would realy grieve for earth and nature... humans are too much already. but i would realy like some extra... say 2000 years to live my life to the fullest and do all i like in this world because as great as heaven or as bad as hell be they are not this like here. |
| Life is an illusion - sea of the lightless lighthouse - Love is an illusion - sweet smell of the lifless flower - Fortune is an illusion - oasis of the waterless desert - Power is an illusion - wondrouse potion of the honorless merchant - but.... War is pure reality - fight with the selfless self ,wordless world and lessful mind. |
| I wouldn't want to, I'm sick of this world already. Plus, watching everyone I know die one by one would be really painful. |
     |
| I definitely would not like to outlive my friends and family. Of course I can make my own family and new friends, but they eventually die as well. Being immortal temporarily would be nice though... |
 |
| Hell Yeah! I hate the feeling that I am gonna die some day like some other mortal and the worst is that how I am gonna die, It would shitty if I died a shitty death. I would like to have the felling that I would never die. |
| Why do people fear death so much? It makes no sense to me >.<. |

| no.,don't like it... cause i don't want to see Armageddon or even experienced the signs of the end of the ages... |

Devil said: There is no appreciation after death. QFT. And yeah, I'd like to be immortal. I want to see how this world develops, if we suceed in space colonalization, if there's ever going to be something like mechas, if the people will live in peace or end the world in a holocaust. I want to see the world and the galaxy end. I wouldn't mind the loneliness too much, I could always make friends and meet new people though it would be very hard to see them dying after some time but I'd probably get used to it after a while. I don't really know about that part since I never experienced death in that way but I say yes to immortality. |
| I would say no, it'd be much too painful eventually. I'd like to see how this world develops, the end of the world, the theories, and all that, I believe in reincarnation so I know, somehow someway I'll be there when it happens, yay :3 |
 |
| Yes and no but mostly no. Yes it would be interesting to see how the world develops but sooner or later, I believe that anyone will go crazy after living long enough. I would hate to see myself turning into a mad man. |
| Most deffinately... The ability to try everything, at my own pace... |
| only if I can choose to end my own life at any given time. I have seen too many stories of fiction that depict immortals and they're usually depressed and bored as fuck. |
 and with this post my post count has increased, making me 1 post cooler than before |
| I would have to say yes to that because then you could just chill and waste as much time as you want |
 |
| When I think of immortality, I think of it Lost Odyssey-style. Staying the same age - not being able to die from aging or physical wounds. As others have mentioned, there are pros and cons to being immortal, I think. With the mindset I have right now, being immortal might be a major strain on me. I think that eventually your way of thinking might change, your perception of life would alter, and you'd get used to being immortal. I wonder if I would eventually get tired of living? Maybe I'm not thinking too far ahead, but I'd take immortality if it were offered to me right now. |
| lol, those who are immortal will become ultimate otakus! |

| What would have been really cool is that after you become immortal, you can make other people immortal too. A bit like vampires, without the blood sucking thing. (Cuz if everybody die in an apocalypse, where the hell would you get blood?) |
|
| Yes, it'd be great =D |
 |
| no... immortality is lame.... living forever is gay |
 |
| lol my biggest fear is getting old =P |
| There is no such thing. Everything dies or erodes, sooner or later. There is no escape from entropy, eventually our universe will exhaust itself. Immortality is in the eyes of the beholder. Also: Anyway: "to absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due." |

| I'd prefer always looking youthful and having a normal human's lifespan than being immortal |
 |
| drac - those stories are, as you mentioned, fiction - i doubt that any human on this planet can tell anything at all about being immortal. due to that you can put such SF\anime\drama\whatever's parts to the closet and forget about them. they're not reliable at all. life without time given is absurd. we're who we are because we are living within this 4rd dimension. if we were immortal than such acts as reproduction and beliefs like ethic code would mean no sense. the most basic human's attributes - love, pothos (its sth like nostalgia, desire to discover, to understand, to see - but no primary thing\target (hell dunno if you understand, ancient greeks used it for the firs time while describing Alexander the Great. Cioran wrote (sry for lame translation): the world is a universal No-Place, thus you have no place to go\stay) are based on a fact that we're going to die. we love the ones we love even more when we know that one day they're going to die. we desire to understand, to know the Truth (lol) even more when we know that one day we're going to die or so do i think ;) |
| Every1 knows that immortality fails ! - True story |
| Hell yes,if i stayed a specific young age forever like 25 and never aged. |
 |
| No, I'd hate it. I wouldn't want to watch all the people that are dear to me die. Also, what if humanity has extinct? What if the world has ended? I wouldn't like it. drac said: only if I can choose to end my own life at any given time. I have seen too many stories of fiction that depict immortals and they're usually depressed and bored as fuck. This seems appealing, though. |
| Hell yes, I don't care much about my family except my mother I would use eternity to gather all knowledge in the world and become the most powerful person. |

| Yes but I'd probably grow bored of it and not want to be after a while. |
