Yes, I would...but eventually the sun would swallow the earth...but until then...yes, I would...

...On a more serious note, I think it would be interesting to see how civilisation advances but on the other hand it could be quite upsetting to just be there while everyone you know passes away.

Depends if I would be living it alone or not.

Well if living forever wouldn't send me into a sinkhole of depression, then yes :o I think i would get way too gloomy if i lived forever :/ And if everyone lived forever, we would have a problem.

probably not. I don't think the human psyche is equipped for forever.

I wouldn't want to live forever. If I think poorly of troublemakers now, imagine what I would think of them, 500 years from now.

^^ Greetings Jitro. I believe that I find this very interestng. ^^ I personally believe that, in some sense, "I" have previously passed away a very large number of times. ^^ Indeed, I do believe that my current self is a very different entity to my self at eight years of age, for instance.

Living a long time yes, living forever no.
After a very long long time you're so bored that you try to kill yourself.

No, I wouldn't want to live forever alone or with someone. Even if I had someone, I would continue to outlive everyone who I wanted to become friends with.

No, I wouldn't want to live forever. I think it would be very lonely.

Haha. I can't believe they are Ireland's Eurovision entry. Welcome to the 'Nil Points' club :)
