What the hell is wrong with people?
Would you rather stop existing FOREVER?
Or live forever and make constant impacts on everything.

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

Pro: It would be like being put in time-out forever. (as in, when we do wrong as children, we are sometimes isolated and told to think about our actions) The reason this is a pro is that you'd be given so much time to think about stuff that your understanding of the world would go far beyond concepts developed by anyone else; no one would ever have enough time to understand the things you would understand. So you'd be so brilliant due to your very nearly infinite amount of experience.

Con: You would go crazy. Not many of us are very patient when it comes to waiting millions of years for certain actions of unfold. (after all, many of us are already impatient when a person in a car in front of us takes more than 2 seconds to recognize a green light)

Pros: You can go around having sex with random women forever.

Cons: Once you form a relationship that you actually care about, she'll die and you won't. You'll do something horribly irrational out of temporary or permanent insanity. If you go to jail for life... you better know how to break out of prison, or avoid getting butt-plugged.

Someone would capture you and could cause pain to you forever since you always stay alive no matter what happens.

If the government ever caught hold of it i bet they would be doing experiments on you constantly.

Pros: I can't think of any besides that you would never have to worry about aging and would learn more about the evolution of human life.

Cons: The sun will only last about 1 billion more years, although buy that time you could gather enough knowledge to find out a way to move to another planet.

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

Pffft...

Pro: Infinite time to perfect, think about everything. Its freakin' immortality...

Cons: I'll devote this to disputing the other cons in this thread...

Watching your friends and family die: I'm pretty sure that you'd be able to deal with it, and move on, as everyone does when their parents, or friends die...

Jail for life: Nothing lasts forever... Except you >_> The building will eventually be destroyed, or you may get your chance to escape. Also, why are you planning on going to jail for life?

Growing bored: This is the only one I think has a chance of standing true, however, since our overall technological abilities as the human race doubles something like every ten years, I really doubt we'd grow bored. Further, its not like you'll run out of things to do. One could say that the things to do on this planet are finite, and will eventually be exhausted, but thats like saying the blades of grass on this planet are finite >_>

You could get really really good at sm with that much time.

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

Once you've made it near the 40th cosmological decade, there isn't a single one of you that would not regret taking up the chance to be immortal. You would all beg for a death you couldn't have. I'm thinking about the longterm, and longer portion of time lived that would be experienced through this journey of immortality.

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

overpopulating?
if like. 500,000 people started off,
they'd probably just keep reproducing
especially the chinese

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

Pro:I think you would enjoy it at first because you could pretty much do whatever you wanted. Be batman for reals. Whatever. You'd have time to study everything and also time to master almost every skill. But I think in the long run you would want to die unless you had another friend that was immortal.

Cons: There can only be one highlander!

Re: Pros and cons of eternal life

I don't see how anyone could ever get bored with life. There are countless things to do, countless problems to solve, countless things to learn, countless places to go, countless people to meet and befriend...

The only problem I would see would be when, inevitably, all life on Earth would cease (sun can only run so long). Then I could see things getting a bit painful and boring. I'd have to somehow trick myself into going into some kind of mental experience coma or something.
