I guess some folks have more attachment to people than myself. With the ability to change my age, it's inevitable that I'd make new friends and families, and could therefore never truly be left alone. It would be terribly sad if one if my families chose to die instead of live forever, but more would come along.

I would want to keep a stock of 21 year old clones. Transfer my conscious into one of them on death.

I wouldn't want to be some powerful leader, or head of a multi-national corporation.

I just want to see what the fuck is going to happen for humanity. I want to observe what we are going to do, where we are exploring, the new discoveries that await our species. I want to be an observer until the extinction of humanity, whenever that may be.

But the only way I would want to live forever is if I could have my dog live forever alongside me. I will only ever truly love one women, and I need a companion. So thus, what a better fitting companion for the immortal man than his best friend.

Life that only has meaning because one might die seems like a very limited one.

This is a much more concise version of my thoughts. Life is thrilling because of the lack of it, I think. I have to use up every second, or elseI lose them forever. If I have all the time in the world, then seconds become unimportant. I'd waste away.

But you could die, at any time. You're not immortal, we're assuming science will go so far as to rejuvenate life if desired. If you want to die, just don't get "rejuvenated".

I'm rather terrified of death, so I would definitely be okay with living forever. I would love to see humanity rise to interstellar travel, and maybe even the decline of human civilization. As long as I had some way of travelling through space, though. I guess kinda like Dr. Manhattan. If I could be like that, I could fulfill my life long, and as of yet unattainable, dream of exploring the universe. Hell, I might even stick around after the heat death of the universe, just to see what happens after that. I'd like to say that I'd only want it if I had some way of ending my own life, but honestly, I'd probably be okay with just existing probably forever.

I'd probably want the aging process in my body stopped. Being able to see the advances in technology and humans in general would be amazing. I'd love it.

That being said, I'd have zero interest in it if I couldn't have at least a loved with me for the ride.

I don't know man, I don't want to outlive all my loved ones. "No parents should bury their sons".

Yet I do want to outlive my enemies...

As long as I retain the possibility of commiting suicide, yes. Living literally forever after the end of the Earth and then the heat-death of the universe would suck.

Depends if we ever find other universes or not. Time and spacey.

Me too. I just don't want to live forever AFTER that.

I'd go for any of them, though transferring consciousness into a new body would be my first option, simply because I'd most likely have the option to backup my memories in case I died unexpectedly.

I dont want the transfer, I want my entire brain put into a machine. Think of it like this. Say you have a word file and on it is "War and Peace". then its copied and put on another. that second copy could then be changed into anything like Mein Kampf. so while they were both originally a work of art, one is now the work of a mad man. I dont want there to be 2 possible versions of conscience. There can only be one and I want it to be the original, which is one I am using now.
