Title says it all folks. Honestly, I want to live a healthy and long life, but for all eternity, NO THANK YOU! Imagine that you had to be stuck on this earth for the rest of time. Exactly, we can barely even comprehend what that means. Even if you were Bill Gates, eventually you would run out of money, and would have to work and work and work, for all eternity. In this scenario, if you take the option of living for eternity, you may never retire, and you have to work a 9-5 job 5 days a week, with two vacation weeks, make the average salary for the United States, and basically have to deal with all the pains of life, that the rest of us who don't pick the option do ie. sickness, pain, debt, bills, war, tragedy, etc. The only different thing would be that we would eventually pass on, but the ones who choose eternal life, don't. I don't think I could handle that, I would be in a state of emotional panic for all of time. Something we can barely comprehend. So NS, would you want to live forever?
Edit: Think Tuck Everlasting.
2nd Edit: You are spawned on earth, and while I wont personally give anyone the ability to leave it (which means not included in the immortality package), I won't make it impossible either. So if humans invent machines to go to Pluto later down the road, that is allowed.
3rd. Also, you get to set an age for your physical body and stick to it. Your number will change, but not your vessel. Also, if you choose to be immortal, you cannot take it back.
