If you could live forever would you?

Feel free to explain your answer.

I'd absolutely love to live forever... as long as I had a good out clause should I get tired of it someday, tho doubtful I would.

it's just so tempting to live long enough to see what this world still has to give and where will all go to.

I say that I would love to live forever; I could get to see a lot of places and experience things because I would have so much time on my hands. I wouldn't mind to live even longer than now either. So living forever seems great to me.

Yes, I have, but it has been a while since I have last seen it. Maybe I should re-see it again some time soon...
But what of it?

No. I think 3 or 4 lifetimes would probably be my limit. I think everything, (even the new experiences) would become repetitive. The rhythm of life would eventually become too unbearable and predictable. I know. Deep. But completely honest.

If anyone can live a 500 year exitance then there will be nothing new to experience or to see. But then to be immortal means aswell you will be alone forever.

I doubt seriously that we can attain immortality, although I do believe that seriously decelerated aging is possible. This may or may not hold death at bay. It may be that we all just end up looking good till the end. Laughing

Anyhow, the legends do persist of ancients wandering about. I have seen topics posted on other boards of people who have seen or felt such beings (although I think it may be more urban myth than fact). Let me get to the point of the question, I would NOT choose immortality. For 2 reasons. 1) I have children, and it would be heartbreaking for me to watch them age and die. It would be a disruption of the natural cycle of things. One should never outlive their offspring. Were my children to inherit vampirism (I believe that my son has) and if his life were to continue unnaturally then I would certainly like to be around to see what unfolds. 2) If I awoke to discover that I was actually immortal, then I believe I would pull a Lestat, and totally come out of the coffin, so to speak. And would probably become a real pain in the ass out of sheer boredom.

Thru childeren imortality is achieved.
passing something on to them so they can continu what you have started. Shamfully i do not have childeren neither a wife for people seem to run away from me when getting close.But lately there seem to been have a breakthroug which might break the curse of the loneliness. So one can finally achieve imortality.

Immortality comes with absolute loneliness you can't keep what you found and you will them everytime. you see alot experience alot but still you will be very much alone.
