Well at what point do you choose eternal life/kids?
Surely someone could just knock out a couple of kids and then go for the eternal life deal.
My other question is, if you choose the eternal life protecting you from old age, do normal rules of death apply so you could theoretically end it by suicide?
If so, there are some scientists who believe they're very close to making this a reality.
This is only true if you have those successful traits in the first place.Originally Posted by CountFloyd
Well 1, this is more of a thought experiment, so the presumption is that you could only have eternal life at the expense of procreation at any time. And 2, yes you can still die by any means, just not by age. That said, you would retain the immune system of youth. You would never be 90 years old and waiting to die.
Not true. The idea of evolution is that if you are able to procreate, that means you out competed the competition and thereby have successful traits to pass on.

I would probably choose to live forever but do dangerous/adventurous/exciting things with high risk factors. The idea of eternal anything sounds terrible to me (one of the reasons I choose atheism over religion). Even love, one of the greatest feelings ever, gets old. Nothing lasts forever for a reason.
lol sorry what
That is the most terrible reason for being an atheist i have ever heard
I mean, to begin with eternity is generally understood in theological circles to denote something extra-temporal; let alone the long list of similarly poor exegeses implied by this statement
