Would you take the immortality pill?

[BRM62C]

Not sure if this was asked before, but let's say Overpopulation wasn't a problem, there's no risks to the pill, no health problems would ever arise, and it made you younger. Would you take the pill, or just grow old and die like normal? What's your reason?

I'd take the pill cuz I want to explore and indulge in all of my hobbies forever. I want to cherish my loved ones forever too. Yeah it might get boring after 300 years but immortality is basically heaven with action games & love allowed, and that's what everybody wants right?

Would you still age? If so, then no thanks, no way...

I would much perfer reincarnation with the wisdom, skills and knowledge of previous lives.

With the pill you will stay young. Reincarnation is cool but I'd rather just be who I am now, starting over would be a hassle, but that's a very cool idea.

yes, I promised myself i'd live as long as I could years ago back in high school. There wasn't no way I was gonna let myself give up on life or take the easy way out.

No... for two reasons.

One: Because it's a pill. I don't like pills - and that they're the apps of medicine.

Two: We're not built to be immortal. See the video below for an in-a-nutshell-reason-why.

Because, overall, life is a struggle. Some of it can be enjoyable, but that is usually overshadowed by things like work, financial pressure, responsibilities, and illness.

That's true. Very good reasons I didn't really think of. A lot of those problems in the future will be solved, but I don't think anyone can really evade illness though. I really don't know.

Interesting video, but I believe there will be solutions to those problems with technological advances, and medical knowledge of the future. I could be wrong about it all, but it's all very interesting nonetheless.

Maybe a pill that turned me into the Incredible Hulk.

Yes, I like my own company, if need be I can clone myself, tulpa, day dream all the time, whatever.

If you get hit by a bus, do you just regenerate?

No, partially because of this:

It's a great comic, by the way. Highly recommended.

Sure, I guess to just observe life until it ends.
