I don't think so actually. A natural lifespan seems about right to me.

Only if I could age relatively. Living for a trillion year with the body of an 80-year-old would be a living hell. Or if you carried on aging you'd end up looking like Bilbo in Return Of The King xD

I would, as long as I could keep my 21 year old body. It'd be interesting to see how civilization and technology would advance... or decline. It would be awful to live through the apocalypses though (meaning things like ice ages, meteors wiping out entire species, etc, etc...)

I'd rather not been born to begin with, really.

Better to not know any of it, IMO.

No way, I'd be tired of life long before then.

I would prefer to part with my body after a natural lifespan between 80-100 years o_o But if i could get rid of my physical problems then maybe i'll say yes to another 50 years after that :) But not a trillion xD

No, I wouldn't want to live pass my natural lifespan.

I think that might mean outliving our Sun. I could only say yes if I was confident I could get off this planet before it's engulfed or fried by a red giant.

Also in that time span I think a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda might happen.


If I have a sturdy spacecraft then maybe.

No, then I'd have to work for a trillion years to support myself and my ageless body. On the upside my super at retirement would be astronomical.

It would also be older then the universe itself, being what 14 or so billion years old.

No. How long before I'd get completely bored with everything?

It depends, living for a trillion years, you'd see some pretty drastic changes!
Spiders may evolve into some kind of hideous flying spider wasps, I couldn't stand that! 8O
