Science tells us that one day we will be able to live forever. I mean we can now clone animals and organs. But if you really think about it, what would you do with eternity?
I mean don't you think you would get bored at some point and just say "let it all end". I think dying is a part of life and I know we have the technology to live longer and even better, but do people really know what they are asking for to live forever. I mean could you imagine watching all the people you love die and then having to live without them for the rest of your life. Just wonder what others would do with eternity?

if you could live life in your prime, possibly although personally happy with the idea of current existence.

if you just continue to grow older and instead of dying at 80-100 or so, you just continue ageing, not thanks.

No, because by all reckoning it'll be unutterably shite living on this planet much longer than i will be.

Yes

but living while still in good physical shape

I believe if you have a positive mental attitude each day should be a joy.

yep. it's slowly shrinking





will have disappeared in something like 20 billion years time




Personally I really am not that keen on living for hundreds of years. Society has got progressively worse with more and more scrotes populating our towns... eventually there will be more of them and less decent people to control them...

Ah but if we were living forever the number of births would have to be tightly regulated-probable only those who could pass similar stringent tests to those wanting to adopt would be allowed to breed.

Nope, I would get tired of it all after a while. Born, have a good life, die, that's it.

Look after Mr. Bond, see that some harm comes to him.

yes you may joke

But think about it-if we live forever and maintain our current birth rate in a few generations the planet will be vastly over populated

There will still need some children to be born-but allot fewer than now- a restriction to one child per family from only the best families who have passed stringent tests.

The Chav problem will not disappear-but it will become less of a problem with time.
