It depends on whether the life would be good or not. Why not want more satisfactory life? In realistic terms, health becomes an obstacle in the old age, I wouldn't want to live with large limitations for a long time.

I would love to be immortal - but at the same time I also would love to live in the world that reached the seventh level on the Kardashev scale :D So as we could create new universes and so on when our own universe is as dead as a dodo :skull: Anyway, in my fantasies I live in a house somewhere beyond time and space where I have accesss to everything I need - or that I have the whole planet just for myself in them :D :D :D I live in there with my best buddy who is a robot, taking care of me :D It wouldn't even need to be big - the King Kai's planet (vide Dragon Ball) would be sufficient for me :)

This is a vaguely asked question. 'Would my body stop aging?' Is the first question that comes to mind. Then there's, 'Would I be guaranteed to live all of those years, or could I still be killed?' The specifics of impossible, 'What if?' questions are important.

Regardless, my answer is no. That sounds like too much time to live. I'd watch countless loved ones die and, eventually, become tired of every hobby, person, culture, etcetera that exists.

Or you might meet the heat death of the universe.

f**k no. 40 years of misery's enough to make anyone suicidal.

That's an interesting question. Personally, I would probably go for it, but then I think I would start to regret it after a while. Humanity as a whole would become extremely predictable after a few hundred years. You'd watch them all make the same stupid mistakes over and over and over and over again and get tired of watching them find the same solutions to the same problems. On the other hand, it could be interesting to live in entirely different worlds as culture changes around you. Especially technologically different. That could be worth seeing in and of itself. But then you'll probably see how humans try to abuse it for their own ends when it first gets invented. There's also doubtless going to be countless pointless wars and deaths you're gonna hear about over the ages, and you'll be just as capable of stopping any of it from happening. And this is just over the next thousand years.

Humans aren't used to living that long. That's what makes it hard to understand what it'd be like.
