Rather than a moral decision I think this would eventually come down to everyone having a mental breakdown at some point. I believe our consciousness could not survive long term. The institution of marriage would likely disappear or be redefined dramatically too. Progress as a race would stall as those who have done something a certain way will want to keep it that way, and the natural process of aging wouldn't remove those members from society. The Earth would eventually be unable to sustain us, unless human reproduction stopped in the coming few decades. Plenty of sci-fi books with this theme. But at the end of the day, I think we take what we have "imprinted" and move on. We have grown. If we don't have that chance to move on, we are missing the University experience for fear of leaving pre-school. So, no, living forever isn't ideal for me, but I wouldn't mind at least a guaranteed solid 150 in good physical and mental health

Sounds good!but knowing I will need to vacate my space one day, I'm gonna enjoy and make the most of it while I have it
And have many call you a liar or an old kook. Yeah that sounds like a fun part of immortal life.I would! Telling a future generation about life hundreds of years in the past would be cool!
As an immortal I doubt if I would care what anyone else thought of me, lol.And have many call you a liar or an old kook. Yeah that sounds like a fun part of immortal life.

You do make a excellent point!How lonely it would be, I think, to know you will outlive everyone you meet, like, and love. There would always come others, yes, but I think the continual loss of those who are dear to you would take a toll over the centuries and make one feel disconnected from the world around him -- such connection being essential for happiness and emotional health.
