If you were given the option of immortality, would you take it?
Along with it comes the ability to move faster than the speed of light and the loss of desire to eat drink sleep and breath. You can still do all those things and enjoy them, but you will never feel like you're hungry, thirsty, sleepy, or choking for air.

-
No. I don't think I'd be able to handle watching everyone I've ever loved die.

Um as an authority on Immortality I gotta inform you that you mistake [b]DESIRE [/b]with [b]NEED[/b]. Bacon is delicious. Being immortal doesn't mean my tastebuds don't work. Being immortal means I have more time to enjoy more delicious bacon. And that means I need to wash down whatever I ate and cleanse my palate so that I can enjoy my next bite just as much as the last. But that's not thirst it's simply a desire to enjoy the bacon to the max. Cotton-mouth still happens. I smoke, because I like it and I can so...cotton-mouth. Also, I still can get drunk and booze needs to be chased or your spit tastes gross. You are right about breathing tho. A co-worker of mine eats Cottage cheese and drinks coffee all day. Her breath smells like bucked futtholes. I'm so thankful I can simply stop breathing when she's around. That said, breathing is relaxing. I still take a deep breath to clear my head just like everyone else.

Seeing the world you love eventually end, then traveling the universe filled with eternal nothingness in hopes of finding something at all, knowing that you are stuck there because you are immortal and all there is..,is nothing I'd rather die and not have to go through that. Either that, or I'm completly insane
-
No downside here.
-
Yes id take the deal...
-
Can I choose to die?

1 RespuestaCan you imagine what immortality would do to our already-frail Social Security system? It's already unsustainable, but now you have immortal beneficiaries.

1 RespuestaIs moving at the speed of light wothout all the downsides? If you moved at the speed of light you'd be compeletely blind and because you can run around the earth 7.5 times in a second, you would near instantly hit something and the average human body moving at the speed of light would have the power of a smaller nuke whenever it hits anything.
-
Yes, but not with those exact powers. A man wouldn't want to run at the speed of light, more like the speed of a bullet.

-
2 RespuestasCan you die if a nuke falls on you?
-
2 RespuestasThe speed of light is still slow. It would take millions of years to reach somewhere else that might have life when everyone else is killed by the sun.
-
2 RespuestasOnly if i could bring a good friend with me.
-
2 Respuestasbut if I eat, will I still poop?
-
1 RespuestaNo, I don't want to outlive the people I care about.
-
Not a chance in hell

2 RespuestasI'd live forever in heaven.
-
If you could still be killed, yes.
-
Immortality is more of a curse than a blessing.
-
No because you would outlive everyone you love, making it an eternity of Suffering.
-
Nah. I'm hopeful there's something more after death. My curiosity would get the better of me. When my times up, I want to go.
