Even assuming it were possible to have the requisite quality of health in order to enjoy a productive life at 100+ years of age, there's no way I'd want to.
If I had to define "hell" in my own terms, it would without question include "immortality" of this life.
Thanks, but no thanks. Assuming I'm forced to suffer the indignities of an 80+ year life on this planet, that's more than enough for me.

biteme said:It's the process that scares me. Do you know the amount of suffering that many people go through before death?
IvanOffelitch said:Painfully aware of it bro. I watched my mother rot from the inside for 7 months due to cancer before she passed on. That still haunts me to this day, and that was almost 1/2 a lifetime ago for me.
One can only hope and/or pray for a quick demise when it's their time.
FWIW, I know this'll prob. get slammed on this BB, but I find comfort in the following:
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
Romans 8:18

SCK said:Even if is possible why would you want to be immortal?
Death makes life important.
Remember that silly.
ohashi said:Well, technically, at the end of GT he became something equivalent of an all-present spirit after defeating all of the dragons. That's pretty much immortality, minus the physical presense of the body or the soul.

GoldenDelicious said:absolute immortality? not sure...but for a long, long time, yeah
if you could offset any dementia, and repair the cardiovascular system, keep kidneys/liver ok or replace them, that sort of thing (all around the corner really) then yes, the human body could last aaaaaaaaages
GREGORY said:It's aready been done in the lab with rats and mice. Our Health club has some nice connctions with the medical board here in NJ. We had a Doctor from the Medical Board come in the do a seminar on cancer for our members (we have good member benefits) and he talked about research on the human DNA and the Mapping of our DNA, all very interesting stuff. But he also went off on a tangent and spoke about cell death and the mechanism that allows it to replicate only so many times before it dies. So the mechanism has been isolated (this is for cancer research) and the scientists have managed to turn it off in the lab mice and rats. He said they have these animals already living 2-3 times their life span and still going he was saying how it's going to be a HUGE dillema on who will get acess to this once it's perfected and humal trials start in a decade or so, his exact words were "this is not science fiction, this is here today and it's being done by the pharmaceutical giants".
Left me with something to think about.
