I see youth perpetrating biological immortality as being the highest possible thing that humanity can strive for. One can twist things this way, that way or every which way, but when it comes right down to it the highest order in the end is the preservation of ones individual living life. Obviously the way things currently are, with all the wild beliefs, confusions and stupidities, humanity as we know it, is not at the stage in sufficient understanding or consciousness evolution, to be able to make it work without the constant squabbling that we accept as necassary....

Life holds more value knowing that it will end. Ask anyone who came really close to dying. They will all tell you the same thing. How much more appreciation that they have for life since almost dying. One shouldn't need a near death experience to give them that sense however. The best way anyone can conduct life is as if no such afterlife exists to begin with in order to strive for the best in the here and now really having passion and zest for each moment alive. That is sane. That is rational. That is what counts! That alone tends to obsolete the "boredom" that people with less vision worry about in thier complaints that biological immortality wouldn't be worthy.

I dont want to live forever.  Why? All you do is sit around all day and say, "hmm, ive done everything i can do, i guess I'll wait another 200 years so i can eat a new kind of candy. 

Dude, if you sit around all day it is your own fault. Boredom is a horrible reason to argue against immortality.

Boredom is a lazy mans disease. It results from doing nothing and buying into and accepting the "spin that others" control our lives. Boredom creeps in to the mind that sherks thier responability for what one has in life and where one is going in life. Much easier to watch TV or just sit around and do the "excitable" nothing. There is no lack of things one can do, unless one lacks real vision. Boredom is a personal thing and requires effort not to allow it to consume you by not being accountable for its existance within to begin with. The ability and potential for mankind is never ending, immortal in fact. Unless you believe the opposite then life is obsolete and useless.

Youth perpetrating biological immortality is for anyone whom cuts through the BS that anything less is acceptable.

I want to live forever, well, let me rephrase that, I would like to have the 'option' of living forever (because I think that I'm taking a big risk when I try to acount for my feelings several thousand years from now), but right now, yes! I want to live forever, mostly because I want explore as much of the universe as possible, listen to music created in 2300, really find out if there is life other than what occured on earth, and also... to watch a VR re-enactment of how matter first became animate and how the first multicellular organisms were formed... oh! and VR-pr0n should be pretty fun as well [thumb]

I love learning, building and designing things, whether it be a computer program or a drawing, but yeah, I think the most important thing would be spending a lot of that time with my dad (my mom isn't too hot on the idea because of her [airquote] beliefs [/airquote] ), but my dad... he's a very creative person and he is very optimistic about the future and thankfully able to appriciate living for periods longer than what is commonly accepted by society, we get along so well and have so much in common and would love to explore the future technological acheivements of our civilization by his side!


Ok, I'm done. [tung]

I dont want to live forever.  Why? All you do is sit around all day and say, "hmm, ive done everything i can do, i guess I'll wait another 200 years so i can eat a new kind of candy.  Why would you want to live forever, I believe there is a reason for death.  When somebody dies, diseases die with them.  Thats why I find saving people who have devistating diseases and will just pass them onto the next generation and life will get hader.  Just let Darwins theory go! "Survival of the Fittest" I dont want to go in for therapy or take 20 pills every day so i can sit around and do nothing.  We dont know whats beyond death, why not go for an exploration.  Sure you might not ever return, but who cares.  The only thing you may have ever done would have been death, so why not dive in.

I suggest you try sex, good books, falling in love, playing in the rain, cuddling by a fireplace, eating sushi, writing poetry, teaching a child, hugging a wet dog, and yes, good candy - just for starters. What makes you think you have the adventurous spirit to explore an afterlife if you haven't the courage to explore the current, real life?

I want to live a long time. (in good health of course)
Living forever? I don't know. I don't want to live in an old, sick body..[mellow]

Why? To leave the mother planet Earth. This is not my home. I don't where it is but I know here is not.

I feel the same about that. [thumb]
I want to explore space, visit other planets. [thumb]

I don't think you get the point. The idea we work or is to STOP AGING, meaning you WON'T be nor feel old!............
Think of it, you can't feel older than how you feel when you are 100, so if you reach 10,000, it means you don't feel old, savvy?

I get your point. [thumb]
If aging can be cured and if they can cure my chronic sickness, I do want to live forever.

sorry to hear about the chronic sickness. Yeah what if a person has no hope with illnesses a thousand times worse than yours , death may feel like the right thing. Living is beautiful. It's good. Death serves a purpose too. We need to balance them. Right now, there is no option of living forever. If there is, wonder if people will still choose to die
