Would you want to live forever?
#2
I've heard from a number of elderly relatives that as they progress through their 80s and 90s they have difficulties in that they become increasingly lonely as their lifelong friends, partners and other people they have lived their lives with pass away. Even if one retains a reasonable state of health and quality of life the realities of continuing beyond your personal circle of familiarity does detract from the enjoyment of life.

So, unless the immortality extends to those you hold dear, which would obviously present overpopulation problems well beyond those we currently have, I would be a no vote on that idea.

The movie 'Mr Nobody' is a great and thought provoking watch along the lines of immortality: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi23832857/?p...t_pr_ov_vi
