I often think on what it would be like to live forever, to see the evolution of the human race and to witness the beauty and marvelous complexity of the universe as our knowledge of it grows. Few things excite me like scientific ideas, the technology that could be made from them, and their philosophical implications. I love human nature sometimes, when it produces such beautiful ideas, and it makes me shudder to think of all that there still is to discover, new ideas to be had, new friendships to be made, and adventures to experience.

How about you guys?

Whenever I think about this subject, I think of Tuck Everlasting and how miserable the Tucks were. So no, I wouldn't want to live forever.
If there was a way to watch the world forever without living in it, I would take that though.

Unlike the Tucks, though, suicide would be still possible.

One word

Reincarnation.

which I do believe in and seem to recall... twelve that I can access so far, none of them particulaly powerful or famous but all of them intresting.

Hell yeah! The world is too big to explore in one lifetime. 

I would love to hear what sort of music is going to be played 100 years from now, and ride the 2110 equivalent of a Honda Fireblade!

I think forever is a bit much, but i do think 80 (+ / -) years is a bit short. At some point I would like to see whats next.

Yes, I would love to live forever and fester around the world and see what's new and what's going to happen and when everyone I know dies...I'll just go and make new friends and "family", that way I won't be alone and when all the other LGBT die...There has to be someone fighting for our freedom and rights? So living forever, that'll be a blast! :]

Also it would be nice to be able to say, " see, I told you that would happen if Ithe ice caps melted (or what ever)!"

I would prefer a time machine than immortality - life with dull bits skipped.

I don't think I would like being stuck in elementary school forever. At some point I would like to graduate and take on the responsibilities and joys of growing up. When I was a young child, life was kind of bad but it had it's happy moments. I wouldn't however want to go back and be stuck there forever; there was so much more to see and do and learn as I got older.

When I do go I want to go sideways, with smoke pouring of the back wheel of the bike yelling, "that was a awesome"!!

Living forever is easy...just don't die. I'm sure everyone only does it because everyone else does.

bit like flying- just throw yourself at the ground and miss.

dont much fancy having to chop people's heads off all the time.

you tend to get a lot of scrapes on your chin perfecting this

I don't. Well, which age? I guess that's a factor too.

I'm not sure I want to know what the future past when I should die would be like.

someone else who thought of Highlander when reading the title!

I dunno if living forever is such a great thing but the time we have does seem a bit short considering how much there is to see in the world.

I'm torn whenever I think of this.

I want to live forever and watch the world change, to see how the geographic locations change, how societies change, etc.  But I don't want to live forever in the body I have, so reincarnation had better be real xD

yeah i kept seeing that bit....here:

it pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject..

Hell no, i'm having a hard time with living now. I'll pass.
