I've always liked this kind of "What if..." poll! Anyway, the choice for this one was fairly easy, surprisingly enough: Yes, as long as I can choose to die if I'm tired of living. Though I did vacillate between that and "I don't want to live forever."

I remember doing a similar poll in the recent enough past. Yes, as long as I can choose to die if I'm tired of living. That´s the same choice regular humans have too, just with "only" 70 something years on the table and regular aging. It would be nice if my method of immediate death wasn´t plain old sunlight but it can´t be jumping into a volcano hard either and aging needs to stop immediately upon receiving immortality.

PS: I hope that The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 works out.

Yeah...that's cheating. Plus removing the limits/downsides on life results in it losing ALL the fun.




Spoiler:

Yes! No matter what!

I want to outlive the heat death of the universe, even once nothing else exists. I don't care what kind of torture that will bring, all I need is a conscious mind. Death is the only thing I cannot--will not--ever accept (even though I acknowledge that *rationally* it is inevitable).

Yeah this poll could've been written so much better. But my question is was the last poll never really decided? Guess that topic is just a hard to categorize.

Well, I've always thought that life would make sense only if it were endless, so for me it's a big fat yes (as long as I can choose to die if I'm tired of living).

( Yes, as long as I can choose to die if I'm tired of living ) Is the obvious best choice in my opinion. I mean of course, no one wants the curse one or the endless aging or suffering. And the (Yes no matter what) choice means all of this can happen. Also you can of course get tired of( an immortal partner) so that doesn't help. Plus towards the end of life, of course most would want to live longer then the average life span so the (No, i just dont want to live forever) would probably be different when most people are reaching the end or somehow know they are gonna have an early death.
The Yes, as long as I can choose to die if I'm tired of living is best cause its pretty much controlled immortality. Where you can live a long ass life and choose when to die when you're satisfied. It's not like the immortality where you really can't die and just suffer forever. The only great immortality is one where you can still die in some way kind of like Elves (but with a mild form of regeneration too lol) that way you have an out when its too much. Also there are many movies, shows, manga and anime that tell you enough of the downsides of imortality without a way to die. The "Fire Punch" Manga being one of the best examples of that.

Looking at the results, more people are afraid of old age than of being endlessly tortured. Huh. 🙂

Its funny how I quickly answered No, I just don't want to live forever. However, I believe in the afterlife (i.e. immortality). It gave me a real minute of introspection. In one sense, I want to live (or I believe I will live), but another part of me is like, "Sheesh, life is too difficult! Why should I extend it?!"
