Thread: Eternal Life, Would You?

No, I would not. Being the only one in your family and friends left alive decades after your parents, husband/wife, kids, grandkids, etc. passed away would be extremely lonely and sad. Just like at the end of the movie The Green Mile, where Tom Hanks is 108 years old and outlives everyone he knows. I probably wouldnt want it for everybody either because it would cause huge overpopulation problems and I would want to have kids at some point.

It would have some benefits, because you would literally have all the time in the world. You could master every sport, musical instrument, read every book, visit every city in the world, etc. Doing all that would take hundreds of years. But, you would still have millions of years to live assuming nothing happened to you. Its an idea Ive thought of a few times as well, but no, I would not want to live forever in this world.
