You were given a thousand years to live, after being cured from a deadly disease. You wish to return to live as a normal person, and goes off to find a way to be mortal again. A few years later, when you finally have the means to reverse your condition, a new problem surfaces: the doctor who helped you, introduces you a child, who has the same thousand year lifespan as you, but lived a lot longer when he was treated. He hasn't grown since, and has been isolated from the world due to his condition. The medicine to reverse your condition is enough for just one person, and there are no more resources to make it again. The doctor asks you what will you do in this situation: Give the medicine to the child, so he can obtain a normal life; or take the medicine for yourself? This question relates to my previous Topic: "How Will you React: Living a Thousand Years", but assumes that you do not wish to live a thousand more years. Will you be able to make this choice that is suddenly presented to you?

If the "little kid" wants to reverse it, I would let him have the antidote?
I'd rather suffer the longer life than someone who has been suffering from this with a longer sentence.





Sidenotes :
A) You should link the previous link in the OP.
B) Are you making a story (Maybe a manga?) and bouncing off your ideas to your fellow manga lovers? (I'm more curious than anything, heh)

To me, I think its up to the kid to live how long he/she wants. Although its best to have it stayed as a mortal, so the sufferings won't hurt as much. Watching years passed by, and seeing your friends/families leaving you and dying, is kind of sad.

I wouldn't even look for the cure, fuck my family and friends. I love them and all that, but, they are going to die anyway, so why should it matter if i live after that?

I had pursue this subject all my life, i would gladly suffer trough a thousand years of pain for the sake of that which cannot be achieved, i want anything that can't be have and don't anything that can.

What's the point of desiring what can be obtained?

I'd question why there's a substance on Earth that, while having been procured or manufactured enough to quantify its existence and specifically allocated for its use in medical science, wouldn't be available to me within the lesser half of my thousand year lifespan, especially given the assumed advancements in medical technology, and technology in general within that time-frame. I'd assume my doctor is either a quack, or can't think past a normal human's lifespan.


In any case, when I've been given my ass-pull, 'reeks-of-poor-writing' answer, I'd say, "Then, give it to the kid. I've at least gone through puberty; that boy won't last for another thousand years as he is..." and then I'd promptly drink myself to an early grave, if only to further cement the fact that the doctor was a quack, because the remedy for combating eternal life and youth has already existed for a very, very long time.

That would depend on various elements.

Mainly, the kid's looks, impression, etc., basically, do I like him enough. If that kid is too ugly, too snotty, too whatever, no way in hell. I'll get what I want. If he manages to find the pity in me, that's a different story.

Secondly, how badly I want to be mortal again.

Thirdly... if I can find a reason to. If not, I'd probably hold the medicine and wait. I mean, that doctor is pissing me off. I asked him for a cure, he gave me one, along with a kid that makes any answer other than yes an answer that will antagonize you.

If he or she pushes me too far into a corner, I'll play the bad guy... girl, just for the sake of it. Even if I didn't want to be mortal, I can always break the medicine. It all comes down to, how will that doctor that already made himself absolutely disgusting in my eyes convince me.

I don't care shit if he's a kid. I don't know him, and if the doctor can't impress me, he will have to. Even so, I will need to get in the mood where I don't feel a need to get in the doctor's way for the sake of it.
