Would You Want To Be An Immortal?

I feel like a lot of people when they were younger, thought that living forever sounded like a cool idea. Like, who wouldn’t want to live forever and avoid the scary thing known as death. Well, as you get older, you start to realize, living forever doesn’t really sound all that great when you think about it.



Dying doesn't seem that bad.


At first, the thought of dying sounds scary. But when you think deeper into it, like how you would die before everyone else that you love, the thought of living forever starts to sound shitty. You’ll also probably start getting bored out of your mind. And depending on what kind of immortal you are, getting trapped somewhere where you can’t get out of and suffering for all eternity, doesn’t really sound like a good time. Being immortal sounds like it has a lot more downsides than upsides.


And let’s think about that. What really are the upsides to being immortal? Lets first hope that you’re the type of immortal that doesn’t feel pain, cause if you are, that shit would suck ass. Or at least the kind of immortal that can regenerate their body. Like, I guess if you die too soon, you can survive that, but what happens after you reach like 78 and you’re ready to pass. I guess you’ll just have to keep on living. 


"Please, kill me."


So yeah, being immortal sounds like it’ll suck. I don’t really see any real benefits to it whatsoever. You’re going to get tired of living eventually. 


Would you want to be an immortal? Are you scared of death? Is there any benefit to being immortal? Tell us in the comments.

With immortality, I could finally get the backlog of games started on.

On the topic of immortality I always ask the person. “To whom would your death be more valuable than your life?” All your loved ones would be glad to know that they will never have to see you die. There is nothing an immortal can experience that any mortal can’t. To reject immortality is to believe that existence is pain and that to not exist is the greatest heaven. And that is a personal choice

The thing about seeing people you love die is that it gets easier with practice. Besides, they'd want you to keep living. Nobody thinks to themselves, "Man, I really wish my friends would just hurry up and die already."

It all depends on which type of immortality it is and if I can share that immortality with my girlfriend/future wife. If it's the ageless immortality where I'm young forever in my early 20s then hell yeah. If my woman is immortal too than I won't be lonely for eternity. Plus I will always have a player 2 and can try to complete my huge backlog of video games that keeps getting added with new games

Regardless of the type of immortality, I would take it. I'm deathly afraid of the nothingness that comes after we die, the fear of not existing anymore. I wouldn't care about the boredom that comes after the first hundred to thousand years of living, I would happily accept it.

I'm not sure. If I get older and start to feel pain, I say I rather die. Yet if I can remain *young* and do not suffer the pains of elderly life, I say I don't mind living a few hundred years. Yet as you said, it will get boring after while. I might as well then find a wife, have a family, and then die peacefully knowing I will be living on in my children.

I fear aging more than I fear death. If immorality means I no longer age, I don't care who I need to watch die, I'm becoming immortal. However if immorality means aging infinitely, then I'm gonna pass and just kill myself when I'm ready to die.

I would most certainly want to be an immortal. It would amazing to watch the chronicle of humanity as time passes. As you can tell by my grammar I don’t have many personal attachments so there wouldn’t be many I’d miss.

I want to say yes, as long as it's of the no-aging variety; the downsides of getting old would absolutely destroy my will to live. That and sometimes I remember the quote from Carl of Aquateen Hungerforce when he was offered immortality: "Nah, sometimes I wanna die."

Depends on the costs. Like a vampire, feeding on blood, lingerin in the dark? Like a zombie, feeding on brains, being brainless? Like a ghoul, feeding on the dead, falling apart? A big NO! But if I had the option, regenerating all over, but being able to end my own life, why not? There are issues with age, public administration and identity though. You'd have to hide your talent.
