If given the chance, would you want to become immortal or stay mortal?

Question

Immortal = living forever; never dying or decaying.

ShortCircuit · Accepted Answer

If I positively knew there was an afterlife, then I would choose to stay mortal. If I positively knew there wasn't an afterlife, I would choose to become immortal for sure. If I was being offered immortality, but didn't have any way of knowing whether there was an afterlife or not, then I'm not entirely sure what I would do, but I'm leaning towards choosing immortality, because I wouldn't want to risk permanent death in hopes for a better life, if I have the option to be immortal on earth. Earth life isn't so bad. Nearly all of it's problems can be solved by having all the time in the world that comes with immortality.

Immortality can be curse. Especially if you live in this broken world watch your loved ones kids and your grand kids die of old age. You will experience physical and emotional pain on a level you can't imagine.

Flower7 · Accepted Answer

I'm torn because I don't like dealing with painful situations in life. It would be hard to know I'd never get away from the unhappiness. But I also don't like the idea of losing my looks to aging. The choice of being able to keep looking the same instead of looking any older is very tempting.

menina · Accepted Answer

I would love to become immortal! I would see so many changes happening in the world and I wouldn't have to be worried about dying.

HawkPerception · Answer

The truth is, I don't think anyone would want to live forever. They may say they do while they're young. But when there's not much else to see, do, or experience in the world, it can become dull and tedious to exist. I don't want to be immortal, but I would like the ability to extend my life indefinitely and be able to choose when I die. There are so many things I want to experience in life, and I am fearful of not being able to do them and die with regrets. I just want more time. And what comes before all of that is more time for my loved ones. If I had the option to extend the lives of my loved ones indefinitely over myself, I'd choose them in a heartbeat every time.

modelUN242 · Answer

I would become immortal because you would the only person on Earth and that would make you unique and stand out. Plus, you would have the power to do anything you want without the risk of dying. Secretly, I like the idea of being a vigilante like Batman.

KeziL · Answer

I don't really even want to live after 85 years old, I think, so take that immortality crap somewhere else. I would accept an offer to restart life upon the time of my natural death, but the only way I want to keep living is if I start over every 85 or so years in a new body as a new baby.

genericname85 · Answer

depends on the condition of said "imortality". like would i also be invulnerable? because at a certain point, being "alive" can be pure agony and pain with no chance of ever getting better (physically speaking). and not being able to die is not a positive thing under those conditions.

Ifriqyan · Answer

I don't want to stay alive and have to burry my children, grandchildren , and everyone i loved.

Either all of my loved ones are immortal as well, or I just want to die like everyone else.
So i pick mortal.

I believe in an afterlife anyways.

BlueScorpio · Answer

No, cause then everyone you know or love on earth is gone and people you meet will eventually go too. It would get boring, plus you have to wake up and work forever while living immortally on earth? Naw... im good.

I would live forever if had the chance. Not gonna lie... If I somehow became immortal, I would totaly start doing some SuperHero/SuperVillian Shit! I would Deadpool it up! Why not? If you can't die, then live it up! YOLO!

NamerOfStars · Answer

I'm a religious guy, which probably shapes my answer, but I think even without that, I'd stay mortal. The experience of losing everything and everyone over and over again, of having to either go numb or totally callous yourself? No thanks.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Life is better when it has an end. That said, immortality does give rise to interesting ways to "game" life. But it'd get boring fairly quickly.

I would want to be immortal. There’s so much I want to learn, I could never do it in one lifetime. And yes you’d outlive everyone you love, but you can create new relationships.

Stay mortal. Never dying or decaying sounds good till you consider what it would eventually mean - floating alone in space with only your thoughts.
