No I do not want to live for ever. ( assuming that nothing else around me, is granted this) because everything you love will always die. over and over again. I don't know how much of that shit I could take. I think that I may have missed the Core of your question. But no!!

I wouldnt want to live for ever. Unless I could somehow forget everyone I know dying around me, but even then I would eventually get bored with my time here and be ready to move on.

I would like to live for a long time say several hundred years but not forever. Reason is after a while you see the human race making the same mistakes over and over and that would get old (no pun intended) and you would be powerless to stop it. I think just having my aging clock stopped and living for say 300 years would just about right then just fall over dead.

Hell yeah I wanna live forever! I want my brain in robot gorilla body so I can stronger than all the people and smarter than all the gorillas. Plus, I'll be on the winning side of either a Terminator or Planet of the Apes situation.

I'd like to live forever, but not at the cost of my body and human sensory experience. I also don't see the point of a clone carrying on, since that clone would be a unique consciousness, not a continuation of my own.
that restoration of a backup concept would be worthless to me as well. The newly spawned instance of me would in no way prevent the cessation of my original consciousness. From his perspective things would be peachy keen, but from mine, I'd be dead.

Personally I would not want to live forever. Love would be pointless as you WILL see your SO die over and over every time you love. See your kids die, over and over as you procreate. Be without your mother and father so long you forget their voice, smell, feel. I would lose myself and want to end it. Love and family mean too much to me to watch the people I love die over and over. But that's just me, I could also understand that it would be really cool to see the world develop more and more throughout the centuries. That I would love.

I guess my question worded a bit strange. Every person on earth has the option to live as long as they want through the miracles of science. Your family could stay alive with you.
