(click on "Would You Want To Live Forever")

The current voting:

Thank you for voting in the Court of Opinion.

Here is the verdict that the jury has returned so far:

Would you want to live forever?
Yes, unreservedly: 9.0%
Yes but only if body & mind remain healthy, and being alive
for longer doesn't deprive other people of resources: 25.2%
Yes, but only if body & mind remain healthy: 25.8%
Yes, but only if mental function remains intact: 4.3%
Don't know: 3.5%
No: 32.1%

The experts they've added are interestingly chosen, as are the snippets of what appears to be a longer roundtable discussion of the main topic. . . .

Expect to see that 32% to turn into 91% of people having reservations about living forever, BTW. . . .*grin* (Figures don't lie but liars figure)
