Supposely after a while you'll get sick living... but i don't want to get old. It would be cool to think i could live forever or atleast for a very long time.

yes, i see no point in dying. i shall continue to live on to do as i wish

I voted yes, Dying sucks but living too long can be a very hard thing. To be honest I don't think very many people could deal with the mental complications that would affect an immortal person. However I wouldn't mind seeing history unfold itself.

i would hate to live forever and see how our world is corrupting itself bit by bit. i can't say i'm not afraid of death but when i do die i want it to be a happy goodbye without any regret or anything. i just can't imagine myself living for enternity. and do u mean immortal or vampire immortal? if it's vampire immortal i would hate it more since i have to distant myself away from humans unless i need a bite to go. not only that but i wouldn't be able to live in the darkness forever. it would be sufforcating becuz i live off of people's happiness and hope. being alone would be horrible. i don't think i would able to do it.

if it was just regular immortal then it would just be the same except i don't drink blood and can go in the light.

i cud see ur pt marmaladie but...i wud wanna liv 4ever to help my wrld, to kno that i hav n endless amt of time for me tohelp the wrld...to improveit. by taht time i wud be very influential i hope...and then i cud change the wrld!1

Not that I want to die, but I wouldnt want to live forever either. Mostly I would hate seeing everyone that I care about eventually grow old and die while I stay the same way until the end of the world. I think a person would get so sick of seeing everything that happens in the world after a while. Watching all the pain and suffering as it gets worse and worse as it has. It would be very sad I think.

Oh.. i see...
XD but... if you were immortal, wouldnt there be a way to make your love ones immmortal too?
I dont know why... i want to be immortal... i got addicted to al these vampires and immortal stuff but i do reckon.. that one day i would one day get sick and tired of living like they always do... maybe that is why they put a time limit on our life.... but thou... why must we get old and all wrinkled up

Immortal as in living forever? Nah, I think 500 years should be good enough.
Immortal as in being impossible or next to impossible to kill? Sure thing. All the more reason to live life on the edge, so to speak.

Guess it kinda depends on what kind of immortality we're talking about.

I would hate to live forever and live on no matter what happened to me. I read Tuck Everlasting when I was 11 years old, and I never truly appreciated it until I was much older. Immortality would be a lonely existence, and to be unable to share that with anyone would be the most horrific punishment anyone could ever experience.

I don't know.... ...depends on the conditions. Personally, I would like to be in Heaven forever.

I definitely wouldn't to live forever (but I don't want to die an early age either). I want to live my life the fullest, and when my time comes, I'll accept it. Hopefully, I'll die of old age though, and not of sickness or from being killed. Living forever would be so torturous for me. I think that if I was immortal, and then something terrible happened to me, I may regret my decision to be immortal anymore. What if you had cancer, but could never die? ...How horrible would that be? Or what if you could feel pain and never die? You'd be suffering... and that's not fun. Every decision has a consequence, and in this case, the consequence and affect on your life seem pretty negative.

I would to be immortal and young for ever! jajaja.

I'll pass. I dont want to live forever. I want to live a long life then gradually go to heaven. I see no advantage of living forever. You could get bored of living so long, it will drive you nuts!

what for?

A lot u go through being a BEING with short life... Why do u want to be inmortal... the next thing i'll try to do is to commit suicide... Why do u want to live in a world that whenever u look pple are dying, without counting the pple u love died... Besides there's nothing special if u live long... there nothing valuable... why take the risk?:S

i wouldnt be happy if i were inmortal... i'll be happy is everyone and everythin were inmortal too... I'm not talkin about utopia but i dont know... that's my opinion... i dont support inmortality

I don't really hate being immortal or not but I voted no because dying is less suffering then seeing the people you love and care die when you are still there... And even though you're immortal it doesn't mean that you can't suffer...

ha, ha, ha
Most of you when you consider immortality, you consider it as a state where you stay young, go on without sickness, what if you do get sick (although you can't die from it), what if you do get old( although you can't die from age)?
I hope you do not choose immortality if you are given the chance from a god without knowing the conditions of immortality.
Okay, if assuming the immortality is a state of being where you do not get sick, you do not get old, I would not choose it if I become a creature of darkness that needs to feed on fresh blood of people (not from a blood tube) and that will do them harm as a result-kill them, give them some disease which will give them pain. However, if I do not inflict harm pain on people in the long term, I would not mind living as an immortal in the darkness as long as it is the will of god. Many of you have a negative view of what the world will be like in the future- You think of it as a world which will gradually become corrupted. I dare not to think of the negative as it is god's will and beside considering the gradual placement on equality of man and woman, blacks and white and yellow-us asians, and the emphasis on conservation, I think the world will not become corrupted, instead it is become more morale, a more beautiful world.
If men do become corrupted with immortality in my grasp I may be able to help them with the profound learning that I have picked up until that time.
As long as my mind stays relatively clean, immortality will not be that long.
Above selfish love, to help the community and the world is a greater responsibility than loving someone. Hence it is selfish.
But I recognize that if the love is irreplacable, immortal, to seek immortality would inflict immortal pain.

wow, i like you guys...

Hmm, no. It would be wearying to go on living and living without any form of release from the world. I'd probably try to commit suicide one day when I'm tired of everything.

if immortal means being forever young and not getting old while remaining a normal human ( i mean not a vampire ) yes. I don't want to grow weak and battered by the years. Besides i see more meaning in staying alive then going to a slow and certain death.

no and yes, no because you would lose every one you care about and yes because it would be cool to see what happens in the futchure.

Well I would hate to live forever because, as a few people are stated, I wouldn't want to see everybody I know pass away. Not to mention the fact that you would always be aware of the fact that every person you will ever meet will die and thus cause you more emotional pain. I never liked the idea ever since I saw this episode of the Twilight Zone where this guy gains the ability to live forever. He mentions how he didn't become any wiser and how you just keep going on living. Even though it's fiction it still stuck with me.
I have also felt that since it's already difficult accepting I feel that if you were immortal it would be even more difficult. Every person pretty much knows they will die but if you were to live forever and you got tired of it, could you stand the idea of being killed/killing yourself? Probably not. Anyway that's my 2 cents.

Living forever is my biggest fear . I hate it, for now you would think its good to be immortal, but wait a hundred years, you would get bored. But you can't stop then, because you're immortal, you can't die. Eventually, everyone else will die, or maybe everyone who isn't immortal if others had the choice. After 1 million years, would you still want to?

Assuming I stay relatively young in appearance and healthy, living forever would be interesting as it would through up a load of situations you'd never think of. People say how it would be bad to watch your friends and family die around you, and indeed it would. However, in my opinion the idea of being immortal becomes interesting when you get to the point when your family and original friends have all long gone. Friends rarely last your entire life no matter how long you live for so it will hardly affect you to lose them after a point. Family would be tricky, especially if you have children though. In any case you'd probably get to a point when you start noticing patterns in people and society, by now you are probably "mad" according to conventional psychological thinking. I think however you would have almost trancended humanity. Eventually, whatever happens, if you could not die you would be forced to come to terms with it.

No, it would be scary to see your friends and family members who grow up with you (supposing they are not as lucky as you are to be immortal) go one by one until you are all alone, just because you are immortal. By then you would probably have grown tired of life knowing that such things can't be helped. For me I would just accept it and go when I think I lived enough and had a reasonably good life (I hope).
