How much would you pay for immortality?

[jerome892]

Maybe an option to stay younger and have better health would be better than immortality. And I can imagine people would pay a lot for it.

I think immortality is something that in some time will have a certain cost. Because medicine is developing. But I really don't know how much should it cost. And I don't want to be immortal , because everything should have its ending. This is how our world exists, this is a kind of a rule, and we shouldn't destroy this system.

Considering the value of goods right now in your respective countries, how much do you think should immortality cost? This, of course, includes the option to die whenever you wish to.
I just thought about this because of another thread that reminded me of a news predicting that there will be a technology that could provide virtual immortality say 2060 or around that time. I am not expecting them to give it for free so how much do you think should it be?

The medical can't even grow an arm back on a person who lost one. Doing the impossible (at least at present) is impossibly expensive.

I wouldn't pay anything. The truth is that I don't want to be immortal. I think that all the days that I live, I am lucky to have each of them but everyday wouldn't feel special if I was immortal.

You could offer me £1 billion to become immortal, and I wouldn't do it.

Both life and death are part of living here. Your life here is a but a camera flash in the big picture, the picture you become able to see once you exit this world.

Same here.Not only what you said, but for example how would immortal person experience the feeling of fear or danger.Our mind and body are alarmed the most when our life is in danger, so that element would be gone forever.I think that immortality is a very depressing and boring thing.

I can see ways to keep it fun and fresh for maybe 200-300 years, but after that it would probably turn into agony.

So in this perspective, we never die

Would it need to be in $/€? I wonder if I could strike a deal where every ten years or so I would need to meet my maker and retell a story/experience I had live within that time that would earn me the opportunity to continue living. Once every 100 years the maker could choose what story he wanted to hear in ten years time. A good way to balance agency between the two parties.

Nope not interested unless you are richman interested holding on the wealth or despot clinging to power for eternity

[EllaLand]

What resources are accepted for payment? Materials, money, soul? 

[luispitchler]

hmm.. it has never crossed my mind.  immortals have big responsibilities, too.  they're usually thought of as having super powers. there shouldn't be any price for it as immortality is a divine gift.

[cryptomax217]

Perhaps, half of my bitcoins will be fine.  I have to leave some for my survival for eternity, right?

You could calculate the value of immortality as a rent.
Set the value of a life and pay 10% of that value annually.

xLife = 2.000.000
yImmortality = 200.000

If you do not pay you are no longer immortal, so you die.
