"So long as it came with health,vitality, etc, then God yes.
I want to do SO much yet, and even if I'm lucky I'm over halfway through already before I feel I've taken a breath."
You would never feel any weakness or illness ever again .. all your senses would be heightened beyond human.. |

"If I offered you immortality would you take it see it as a gift or would you refuse it and see it as a curse "
Depends … I would hate live forever , must be exhausting … and painful
But if u calculate a way to save the world and make it a better place may be worth the sacrifice … |

Why would you want to get used to seeing your family grow old and die and you just carrying on. No thanks. As Freddie Mercury sang “ Who wants to live for ever” |

"I don't relish the idea of dying but I don't want to live forever either. I can't afford it for one thing
Money isn't an issue when you don't need sleep "
I have no inclination whatsoever to work. I'm a poor candidate for immortality |

"Similar to nice couple, but have no worries about dying. So long as it's not painful and takes years...or even months to pop my clogs. "
I'm not worried about dying, I just don't want it to happen any time soon |

Your not going to see family dying around you for eternity .. your existing family would eventually pass away if you had any then it's done you wouldn't have more family |

Your family as you know it would all eventually die .. first family .. if you had brothers sisters there children would continue but would get to a point you would have no connection as people would question who you are or how your alive .. once given the gift of immortality you accept the conditions given to you to protect the secret |

I would have taken it as a gift, in fact I did and now, 2655 years later, I see it as a bit of a curse to be honest. I could do with a rest and I can't believe how badly people have misinterpreted religion. |

It’s no misinterpretation it’s valium for the masses. |

I can live with the body wearing out as I have used it an in some cases abused it. I will go with as long as the mind is intact I will take whatever fate and my genes has decided.
Immortality I will leave to George Best! |

I think it'd be a really fucked up feeling once you got to the point where your current life feels like a distant memory, or a dream. Your closest family right now would just become people you used to know a lifetime ago and you'd eventually forget them. Even the thought makes me feel so sad and terrified. |

That short period of time that it takes to loose all current family of your time would feel like seconds compared to the time you've spent since .. you have the ability to change and channel your emotions to make them more intense or numb |

I'd take it.
But I'd prefer if it was like in 'altered carbon' where you could swap sleeves (body swap).
Then you could be different people.
I'd love to live into space faring age and beyond.

"Oh, I thought you said if I offered you immorality, so I got confused
Why are you saying that like you've already commented in this forum or we have spoken "
I guessed a fun contribution might be welcome, but clearly not |

If you accept, for a moment, that the Earth is the only planet in the universe that supports life then every species on Earth is unique. That’s to say there is nothing like it bore or after therefore totally and utterly unique.
Then you adopt the law of metaphysics which hypothesises that energy cannot be destroyed then from the moment you were created you became immortal!
Just a thought on an autumnal morning. |

Good question. There’s a great episode in the Sandman where Sandman (a god) gives some random peasant from the Middle Ages immortality. Sandman is convinced that the peasant will come to hate it, and they meet every 100 years to see how he’s feeling. The guy (now living in the modern age) still loves his immortality to this day… |
