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.

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.

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.

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

Bunch of border-line suicidal people in this thread.

Suicide is for cowards. Take hold of life and make something of it. But you won't, will you. Jack Nicholson was right:

Even if my organs will not wear out I don't want to live forever. It is an eternal meal, every day, to Wake and sleep with the thought where to earn money to live on that.

I see no point in the immortality of the physical body. This is physically impossible, because the organs will wear out.

Immortality might sound amazing and awesome. This just really will not make you happy at all if you will want to rest already. You will just wish to die because of boredom. It would be great if you have a mission to preserve the entire species of humanity and help the light come brighter than the darkness.

It would only be viable if you could transcend the limitations of your self and continually up grade your own physiological and mental hardware.

Immortality is too long. Especially if there is no second half for the sake of which you can live. I would choose 100-200 years of life, but at the same time always stay young and in my right mind.

I like immortality. Humans live very short lives and if one doesnt have money from parents, most of his live spending on his job and don't have time to enjoy life and try something interesting what he wants

Well if the purpose of making babies is to grow our population or replace the deads then making babies could become unnecessary in an immortal society. Any Civilization that is capable of achieving immortality can as well invent stuff to take care of those fears you listed

Right. If there is immortality, then the children will not be needed. Because if the number of people constantly increases and does not die, then all will not have enough space and resources.

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?

It will be impossible to be completely immortal, since you could always get killed by an accident but I think if it came to the point humans reached something even close to it then some legislation will be pout in place, like those that are immortal cannot reproduce.

I wouldn't like being inmortal in this world. You would always see your loved ones die.

Not worth it bro if you dont have a companion or a special someone that join you on your everlasting life.
I didn't want to be a immortal but I want a super powers. Grin
