Would immortality be worth it?

[Basmic]

Suicide is a sin. We are not sinners. We want to die like everyone else. If no one will die, then our grandchildren will not for life. Immortality is a choice to kill himself or to kill the children and grandchildren.

The desire to die is border-line suicide. Not enough guts to do it, right?

Well if there's immortality I think then there  should be a law to promote contraceptives so that nobody will procreate in order to control the population or we could let some people sleep for 10 years by injecting them with chemicals whiles others live to sleep when their time is due... lol

If there is immortality in this life, new people won't have to keep on becoming scientists to take the place of scientists who die. A scientist who has lived 200 years will develop great inventions, because he will have a long time to concentrate. He will develop Star-Trek-style space warps. We will leave earth, and populate the infinite number of planets out there. There will never be population that can outgrow colonizing the stars.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Most people that commit suicide have some form of mental illness.

I wouldn't say suicide is ideal, but I don't think it's always a sin.

This is not so. Scientists have also has its own specifics. When I was in school, I had no problem with inorganic chemistry, but I did not understand organic chemistry. And scientists they come up with their idea and forever become hostages to the idea. They did not invent anything fundamentally new. They will only upgrade an old one.

mmm 99% We are already immortal gods living incarnations and 1% We are a  sims of immortal gods.

Very valuable because we can claim as god and have many followers, but on the other hand we will feel very lonely because there is no eternal companion like us.

[daronch]

Not at this point in time. Maybe in the future when we've colonized other planets, immortality may start to look more feasible.

[hassany5]

Definitly. Immortality is something that human kind research and craves for. I think its very important and I think we will find the immortality.

[stoogiemeister]

we all are souls in bodies. while our bodies die off, our souls are immortal. what hasnt born cannot die, the soul has always been there

[anelenaniku]

If someday we actually get to be immortal, wouldn't this mean that:
- The world would, at some time, be with a lot of people and no space.
- Then we would need to resort to abortion and birth control.
- Then, people would start to get bored sometime.

So, would immortality be worth it?

Non of them,  if we manage this , we probably have first create AI, and AI will let us populate other planets.

[Applechild]

only for a while. while its still in your "mouth" it can turn to grape or gravel. it is not worth it at all, not for anything.

[r1a2y3m4]

I think it would be worth it. But it depends on your goal. what is your goal on why do you want to be immortal. If your goal is to accumulate all the knowledge in the world I think it is fine . but if you goal is to just live I think you would be tired at some point and you will regret being an immortal.

I read Borges' Immortal, and there is an interesting part where it says, I did not say goodbye, at some point we would meet again, immortality would bore us, and soon we would look for ways to destroy ourselves

[Neddie1908]

In my opinion immortality is not worth because being immortal means seeing your love ones die one by one and you'll have never ending problems cause when you are still alive problems are just around the corner, being immortal wouldn't let you rest

[BrandonChong37]

In an imaginary world. No. What if everyone was immortal and would we over populate?

[meghansullivan]

if we could save our young bodies and live a bit longer I'd like to try it. immortality is boring

[Boysisig207608]

Immortality will only give you pain and loneliness... what will you feel if all the people you'll gonna love will always die ahead of you... it will be very painful for sure!

[kimataraus]

Maybe if you had someone you love to spend your time with.
