If you could live forever, would you and why?
Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live
forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live
forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."
--Miss America, 1995.
No, I would not like to live forever.
The fear of death or time passing you by,
is what makes life exciting.
You'll get bored!
What would you do with yourself? Learn how to play all the instruments in the world?
Read all the books ever written, twice (all the good ones anyway).
The reason you do things now, is because you're not going to have enough time to do them tommorrow along with all the things you have to do tommorrow.
You'll get lonely!
Wouldn't you want to share forever with someone? Or do want to see all your partners die?
(I'm stealing from the Highlander movies here...)
Queen said it best:
Who wants to live forever,
Who dares to love forever,
Who dare who dare,
Who wants to live forever,
When love must die

But is not the goal of many world religions eternal life in some form or another? Good people live on in good places/forms, whilst bad people go to hell or get turned into yucky bugs.
Maybe we only think we'll get bored, because we have not yet had the opportunity to live for such a long time. Our entire mindsets would be completely different i.e. we'd look at our daily lives differently. I think that we could adapt to extended life and be as happy and as fulfilled (or as sad and empty) as we are today during our short lifespans.
