Extended Life, Immortality, or Average Life?
0
Immortality as long as my body doesn't age. I want to learn everything there is to be learned. Also, does the immortality allow me to breathe (or not breathe at all) underwater or in outer space? If yes, then definitely immortality.

If aging was slower, I'd pick extended life. Many of the meanings we find in our lives would be lost in Immortality and the Average Life is long enough to appreciate what we had, but still leave us wishing we had done other things too. Give me 150 Years at the same Aging Ratio as 1-70 and I'd be happy.

Immortal except I can kill myself by flying into a black hole. like a kill-switch.
I'm assuming if i can have the power of immortality i would also be able to fly and shit, right? O__o

I wonder if immortality would mean you cannot be injured, or no matter how grave your injuries are, you simply cannot die. If you'd had multiple limbs cut off and your entrails torn out and had to survive? That would be hell.
If it were different, where you just don't get hurt at all, eventually I might take it upon myself to become some sort of hero. It would be really fun to lurk around sketchy streets at night, looking vulnerable, waiting for muggers/rapists/murderers to come along. Then they punch you in the face, and you don't even blink. They try to stab you and the knife breaks on your unscratched skin. Hahaha. That shit would be so amusing. Even if you were physically weak (can't throw a punch), you could eventually beat anyone in a fight just by being a supertank. You could kill them to slowly erase the population of criminals, or hope that they were so frightened by the experience that they act a little nicer in the future.

I agree like vampires. :D

I would like immortality as long as I stop aging. I probably be a hermit for a good portion of it, just living by myself and enjoying the little things in life, traveling, doing random jobs for money so I can support myself and avoid people noticing that I never age.
Then maybe later I would attempt to establish world peace and have humanity focus on space travel.

Eternity, in a flawed world doomed to succumb to entropy? On an Earth full of people that tend to exhibit the most obnoxious characteristics of the species, or some future extraplanetary colony full of the same?
No thanks. It'd be nice to have long life, but only so far.
I'd much rather remain young and vital for all of my mortal years, and then expire in a suitably explosive fashion sometime after my first century is up. :D

Immortality, but only if it could come with an unlimited memory.
I want to remember everything that has ever happened in my lifetime.

on the downside, the government would capture you and do experiments on you in an attempt to acquire your immortality.
flaunting your immortality in such ways wouldnt be a smart thing to do unless you also had other powers to prevent capture. you might be immortal but without super strength or something, you could be easily imprisoned for eternity. wouldn't want that to happen, so you'd want to keep your power on the down low. become a hermit or something.

Well, on the other side of that, if you became immortal, you might acquire an all-consuming "eh, fuck it all" mentality after a few centuries or so.
Tortured? Been done.
Imprisoned? One place is as good as another.
Other people made immortal based on unethical research conducted on your body? Doesn't matter.
That sort of thing.
Man, I'd hate that guy.

Average Happy Life...
Immortality makes you go crazy....
Extended life - what if you're in constant illness during that period?

Immortality, because even though it would be desolate and lonely after humans become extinct, I can just wait another couple billion years for a new species to evolve, or build a rocket to visit other planets to search for new life forms. Also, I'd be an undying BAMF who could do anything I wanted because no one could kill me.

Absolutely not immortality (I am a fan of Gilgamesh)
An average life.... I don`t want to live to long in this planet to see the world`s end....

Immortal, but with the ability to relinquish that ability whenever I choose. I'd like to witness the end of everything first, and then finally kick the bucket.
