I spout this quip every now and again and I'm yet to meet anybody who wants to live forever so m does anybody wanna live forever and why?.

Me I sure don't , this has some nice perks ie less backing off while riding.

semi iffy since I saw a scoot bent around a knocked over ped on my way in and a ton of cops.

I'd give it a go, as long as (a) I could end if when I'd had enough, and (b) I didn't age.

I just think it's amazing to think what the world will be like in 100 years. Would also be great to see if they answer any question regarding aliens & space, new cures, technology, religions etc.

Not for me thanks, the future scares me, and I'm not too keen on the idea of watching all my friends grow old and die without me.

What about when the world ends? i.e. sun burns out, that would be pretty lonely!

the future maybe interesting but you have to live the moments inbetween to get to the 'future' , which is a no no ,

and probably in my version of live for ever I'd be tired of blokes wielding swords trying to take my head every other week to take me quickening....

that was a good film Wink

I honestly don't want to live forever, and if I'm honest I'm not looking forward to 50/60 onwards. I really don't want to reach a point where I struggle to look after myself, I see elderly people out and about a lot, and I don't know.. I just don't want to be elderly, the idea of taking an hour to walk what is 5-10 minutes for me seems scary..

If I could live forever without ageing.. I'm not sure I'd like that either.. imagine growing up and seeing your parents die, then your OH, your children, all your friends, all of them die.. but you keep going, doesn't sound like fun to be honest.

I know I got a preset limit for my life, at some point I'm going to die, so I'm just going to get there as happy as I can be. And hopefully when I die I make some big explosion somewhere.. something like that would be cool I think.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nah, no desire to live forever, think I'd get bored.

Plus, and I think this is important, a lot of things are only really exciting because you know you might just die.

Living on the edge is brilliant, but if the chance of death is removed then so is the fun.

Strange, as soon as I saw the thread title, I started singing the same!

The worlds too crowded as it is. People living forever wont help one little bit. If anything we could do with several million popping off a little earlier. Very Happy
