If you *could* live forever, would you want to?

Really, the subject title sums it up... If you could choose to be immortal, would you? And why? Or why not?

I would want to live as long as it takes to see everything there is to see, to learn as much as possible... But eternity is such a long time, and noone really knows what happens when you die, that could be a whole new adventure. Anyway, who says eternal life guarantees eternal youth? I'd hate to be trapped in a steadily decaying body, increasingly incapable of doing anything and unable to die. I wouldn't choose immortality. Would you?

no way
I mean when we all get old we die
that's how it is and If I were the only one to live forever then I'd have to watch everyone I grew up with die
it would be depressing
plus I'd never get to know for sure what happens after death
though I'm almost positive I already know

You know!

And for a sweet and caring soul such as you, Pimienta, it will surely be a wonderful new world!
