Hi and Welcome Miss Chicken
I like your question, but I have to know a couple of things.
If I choose to die in twenty years, do I get my choice of how I actually die, and if I choose immortality does it mean I do not get sick, old or senile?
If all was going to be well, and there was no chance that anything bad would happen to me, then I would choose immortality.
I would love to know whether we ever get contacted by ET, or whether we discover the secrets of the universe. I would love to stay here to find out just how far we go with technology and watch as the human race evolves. I would get to see different species of animals come and go. I would get to find out the undiscovered secrets of the bottom of the oceans. I might even be able to travel into space as regularly as stepping onto a bus. Wouldn't that be cool?
I know there is a downside, like losing your loved ones, but I think it depends on how you view life.
Of course the question then comes to mind that if I'm finally sick and tired of being alive, do I get the priviledge of finally laying down and dying peacefully?
It's an interesting question. My answer is just off the top of my head, but I would have to consider it a lot more carefully before I actually committed to a definite answer.
I would like to see what others say too. How 'bout it folks?
Die or live forever?
Cheers,
Teri
