Fuck no. I'd rather die with everyone else than keep getting close to people and losing them.
Nothing is worth the pain of emptiness.

Oh man, is it not clear in my post that you're able to die by any method a normal person would? Nobody is becoming immortal. In this question, science simply allows you to live as long as you want. Few extra years? Sure. Literally until the world collapses? Done.

I would do it for sure if I always had new bodies.
I think immortality gets bad press because no one is openly immortal. I'd not be surprised if there were a small group of immortal people who are regular humans who became immortal through some harmless ritual, yet hide it from us and spread the idea that immortality would be bad so they can keep population numbers down. Also they're not regular humans they're reptilian and they aren't from Earth.

Do tell! What are the implications of technological singularity? I've always been curious what the fuss was all about.

The most profound implication is that for the first time since we were pitter-patterning around scourraging for food off the jungle floor on all fours, something will come into existence with relatively monumental intelligence. Nobody knows what will happen, nobody knows if it has already happened. The hypotheticals are equally infinite in quanitty. One such hypothetical is that everything is going to go in our favour and uploaded consciousness can be an overnight (literally overnight) reality. The hypothetical in which things do not go in our favour are equally, terrifyingly profound.

Yes I want to live forever. How else would I play Half-Life 3 when it's released in the year 3000?
