You’ve been offered a pill that will make you live forever

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

If i stayed 18 forever, yes. If as mentioned before I age and will actually be 100000 years old in 100000 years definitely not. Just be lying in your own excrement for ages,

^nothing. Your brain neurons stop firing and you will slowly rot, feeding back the molecules in your body into the enviroment

What happens to your consciousness !1

Consciousness is a product of electrical/chemical activity in your brain so it stops.

Just like a lot of other people already said: I'd take the pill if my body stopped ageing at like 35 and stayed in perfect health (this includes the brain).
So basicly as if the clock stopped for your body. Also the option to kill myself whenever I want to.

People who wouldn't want to do it under those conditions are liars.

Sure you'll see your friends die and it will be sad and what not, but think of all the stuff you will be able to witness in the future.
Also your friends won't be able to live on mars, but you will so fuck them really.

[Sonika]

also, am I allowed to stay at the prime of my physical and mental condition?

You might wanna wait a few years before taking that pill then, you have yet to reach your prime

I know that's what I'm saying

I wouldnt want to live forever as a scrawny pubescent 14 year old but I also wouldn't want to live forever as a senile 80 year old

[Figment]

sonka maet yuo alraedy blased it at 14 yea so don woryr abuot no maigc plils, slwo donw maet yea, tihnk of hte hunines adn waht hte drusg aer diogn to htem

if there was a red pill, one that secured i lived until say, 100, healthy the whole way, aged normally, but never got ill in anyway, i'd take that instead.

[Sonika]

I wouldn't

[Dahneboy]

you know how many horrible memories you may be having by age 200

[kay]

Yes, without a doubt, provided my physical and mental abilities are maintained at a reasonable level.

There is too much to see, do and learn to fit within a regular human lifetime.

u say this now

but ud prob end up sitting on the couch for 10 years in a row by the time ur 168

"YEAA... ILL SEE MACHU PICHU... NEXT YEAR"

Nope.

I wouldn't just sit on the couch for 10 years.

However, I have already put off Machu Pichu for 2 years on account of other stuff.

[phrex]

i would.

and i'd regret it someday

[lloydy]

I wouldn't,it would mean working like a dog for the rest of a eternity and dealing with dickheads for the best part of it.I have lived long enough now to know true friends are few and far between,to to many snakes in this world for me to want to live forever.

[dubfordessert]

everyone who says "if i could kill myself at any time" is copping out

at least you two get it.

it's a bit silly to imagine you cant cease to exist though.... what if I put myself through a meat grinder? Get run over by a steamroller? Throw myself into a blazing inferno? wait long enough for the sun to expand and engulf the earth? Or long enough for our solar system to drift into the black hole in the center of our galaxy?

[Sexual_Chocolate]

Yeah i was thinkInc that myself but it's more plausible/explainable than not being able to end yourself at all

[wolf89]

If It was some regeneration thing like Wolverine from the x men has then yes.

I already have the side burns anyway.

You're right but the question loses interest if it's not binding. Most people are going to say ah yeah sound take the pill fuck it off if I don't like it but the proposition needs to be made of firmer stuff.

[LACE]

oh god no. max 100 years is perfect i think. you know it's that nice inbetween where it feels like a long time, but as you age and go over the peak, you feel the clock winding down..

i take a strange comfort in that. i'm also one of the few twenty somethings who can't wait to be old and host my fancy dress cocktail parties.
