Do you want to live for ever, like Tolkien's Elves etc? be in this world until humanity survives, reaches new highs and deeper lows?

as Achilles said: "Immortality... Take it. Its Yours" (though he probablly meant it in a Name-is-immortal kind of way...)

I do not want to be immortal because I will prolly want to kill myself after the age of 50 anyway.

lol.. the way my body is deteriorating despite exercise and all.. I know wat you mean. hardly anything does not ache!

this thread doesn't make sense.

I mean, if you say that I could just choose immortality, but I'd still age double you tee eff?

I'll be a fudgeing walking skeleton?

Exactly why I said no.

well not really.according to the logic behind immortality, your body ages at a very slow rate. Like in trees. Wee human renew our cells every 7 odd years. Trees and longer living beings will have a recycle period with a much longer duration. The timing of aging is controlled in the genes of the species. An immortal being, supposedly, doesn't have a cell breakdown limit, i.e. its cells never lose vitality. Or you can say, regeneration of cells is extremely efficient.

Hence they can persevere.

take it like this... if you are an immortal being, you will reach adulthood like normal human and then, your body will stop aging in a manner of speakin!

nah .. id get bored :p
