If you could stay young and beautiful for ever, never get sick or die, would you?

Everyone else would age and die, but you'd be the only 1 to never age and live forever. hmmmmmmm. I'm not sure?

old twilight zone episode covered this question

I would think that you'd live with a broken heart as everyone that you cared about, you would see them suffer and eventually lose them. You'd have to have a detached nature. You get a split second to take this offer. Do you take it?
 
"Hypochondriac Walter Bedeker sells his soul for immortality and indestructibility, only to find out that life might not be worth living if the thrill is gone...

Escape Clause represents the best audio production included in volume three. Just what would you do if offered the chance to live forever? Would you sell your soul? And if so how would you go about ensuring you didn't get bored? Guest star Mike Starr is great in his role in this chilling story. While the conclusion can be seen coming a mile away it is still entertaining."
 
personally I'd accept the offer
you're going to watch your friends and family die anyway,unless you preceed them
I'd get myself nuetered though

WHo wants to live foreverrrrr Who dares to liveee foreverrrrrrr When love must dieeee. Queen song. Yeah what the hell.
I think in the twilight zone episode the immortal character mentioned having to continously leave relationships as they aged and he didn't
 
I wouldn't sell my soul, If I knew there a God and an afterlife. But for now, I'd take the deal. I need to watch that movie to get a perspective on what it would be like. Might make me appreciate life a little more.
 
the blurb I quoted above concerns the '59 airing of the radio show
the episode I recall was the subsequent TV series remake

I expect to outlive everyone I know, anyway, so what difference does forever make? I'll take it.
yeah and I've been a mortician for a dozen years
so I have the "detached nature" requirement covered

No...

I look forward to being older and trying to bang younger chicks.

Hold on a minute sweetie, let me put my teeth in and pop a few viagra. Gramps will be back in a minute. Eeeeww. I don't think I could do it because I have to think they are at least attracted to me.

wouldn't immortality make them irrelevant?
I suppose a God could still be of use to you
but if immortal obviously an afterlife is unecessary
and a "soul" well?
 
If I could pick my age, then sure. I would do it.

BTW, what was the ending of the twilight zone episode?

I can't remember as I was about 11
this is basically a religious question,but I think Serling covered it secularily
 
Only if I was a vampire.

No seriously, I'd say no. Thinking about living my life and continually watching everyone I was close to or loved get old and die...well that would be a lonely existence IMO.
 
a side question

If you were immortal would money wealth matter?
sure you'd want some basic level to afford you accomodations
wouldn't want to be a homelessly immortal
 
i wouldnt sell my soul...i would like the experience for awhile, but truely i think it would get old...i think the heartache would become more than you could stand.
 
if immortal you damn sure don't want to screw it up and commit some crime that garnered you a life sentence

hey!
back to the religious angle

No, because I would think that immortality in heaven would be superior to immortality on earth. Having to live forever and continually see people and creatures suffer takes a toll on you. Plus, you'd still have the everyday problems of life to deal with.

well yeah that's why I mentioned it's a question of your religious beliefs
though I think it was interesting that Rod Serling,the storie's author,in the twilight zone episode depicted immortality unfavorably without involving a religious angle
 
When I saw my grandmother lying in the hospital bed suffering and dying, it was heart wrenching. I never cry in front of people, but I couldn't help it then. I don't ever want to lose the ability to feel. I think that would be extremely depressing to watch someone you love suffering and hot have any feeling about it. Gotta go help my brother unload a washing machine. Woo hooo!!!!!!
 
i make friends pretty easy so im not so worried about everyone dieing on me,although that would suck, but I do want to grow old, I think its part of the adventure
 
this is an interesting question for curling
because it's implicit in the deal that it includes a conversion to "beautiful" too
 
tough question, but i'd have to accept the offer...

you'd have to explain it to anyone you got involved in though, and that could be a slight problem...

imagine seeing your kids older than you...? :(
 
the chance to actually visit all the places in that book: "1,000 places to see before you die"? tempting. great thread.

I have already done it. You could too right now for real all you have to do is accept Christ as your savior. Then not only will you never get sick and old like you do in your mortal bodies but you get to spend eternity with all your loved ones that are believers.
 
No, you would have to have enough income to provide food, shetler ect. That means you would have to spend an eternity working, sounds a little depressing. and when you hit rock bottom from a million years at a shitty job and want to off yourself you can't. On the other hand you could join organized crime and become the most powerful and feared person in history, but thats got to get boring after about a thousand years.

In that case, I would have kids. If they have my gene's they should live much longer right?! Make friends of your kids.

If I only had a split second to decide, then I would definitely take it. Think of all the things you could learn, all the ways you could live, and stuff you could create!

In fact, treating aging and living forever will be as easy as visiting the doctor on a regular basis!<br /> <br /> If I told you that we're not too far off from seeing people live forever, you'd probably call me an idiot. After all, the oldest person ever was Frenchwoman Jeanne Louise Calment, who lived to be 122 years old (1875-1997). And the oldest person alive today, 115-year-old Besse Cooper, is quite a ways from reaching Calment’s longevity milestone.<br /> <br /> Scientist Aubrey De Grey is one of the most respected authorities on anti-aging in the world, and his credentials (Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation, editor of Rejuvenation Research academic journal) definitely speak for themselves. So when De Grey says that he believes we're on the brink of an enormous anti-aging breakthrough, people tend to listen. </p> <p added="null">Read: <a href="http://bodybuilding.elitefitness.com/how-to-live-forever" target="_blank">How to Live Forever, Age 1,000 In Your Lifetime</a>
