Immortality, anyone?

[Coheed]

Someone offers you immortality, but in order to recieve the power of being immortal you have to kill someone else. You could kill the person however you want, but the person would be someone you've never met before. Would you do it?

Personally I don't think I'd have the balls to do it. Killing somebody would be too much of a task for me to do.

[Bodadem]

I wouldn't WANT to do it.. Immortality would suck ass, and I'd probably end up trying to insult every person in the universe -- In alphabetical order!

For a few thousand dollars? Sure.

[Asension]

I wouldn't want Immortality, even if it was free. To much to do, you'd get bored fast, and have to pick a hobby, Bodadem has some good ideas. :p

[Bodadem]

Yeah, I thought of that all on my own. Aren't I clever?

[Impulse]

Would you kill yourself for immortality?

[Vagrant]

I wouldn't want immortality in the sense we think of it.

I mean, everybody you loved and cared for would die, you'd be lonely for eternity, you'd see the end of the world as we know it, and still be alive to witness all the suffering and pain, while being cold and empty yourself.

It's not the killing of the other person that's so much the problem, it's the problems related to immortality.

[Chum]

Ever see the movie "The Green Mile"

[Honeycomb]

I wouldent take it. Like they say people who have power tend to go insane and overuse it. I know it does that. Experiance has told me that before,

And nope I havent seen "The Green Mile."

[Posh Jibbons]

As much as I hate to say it, I'd do it. Simply because I don't want to die.

[Chum]

Heaven, Hell? Anyone believe this?

[Posh Jibbons]

Chum:

No

[Screech]

About murdering someone they didn't know: If it was a life or death situation, i believe most people would do it, as much as they would refuse to admit it.

However, I agree with most people here about the immortality issue. It would be a misserable way to live.

Killing for immortality is not life or death, its for gaining something you want. It is comparable to saying "Would you kill for a new plasma big screen TV?" Its not something anyone needs, but it is something alot of people want.

[mattz1010]

...

stfun00b

Yes. Cause then I would serve my sentence and then kill again.

Plus, immortality, or invincibility?

If it's the second kind of immortality, then only you won't ever die from time, but you won't die from getting hurt either.

Edit: wtftiming. That wasn't for you screech

[Posh Jibbons]

There's a biiig difference between a new tv and immortality.

The idea is the same, yeah.

[Bodadem]

Yeah, Posh, the difference is that people -don't- want immortality and -do- want a new TV. =P

[ToothMachine]

I'd do it. Just as long as the person in question is either a young child or an old and/or disabled woman.

[Posh Jibbons]

I don't...

[DarkReality]

I'd do it. Killing someone I don't know? Where's the problem there? take a gun, pull the trigger, end of it. Close your eyes if you have to. Immortality? At the rate our world changes? Oh heck yes. And I mean, if we manage to kill ourselves, all one would have to do is hitch a ride on a space shuttle, take a lot of video games, and go look for new life.

>_>

[coolguy1351]

good point.

[Blaze Zero-Three]

Ever thought of this?

If you live forever and never die, what happens if the cops arrest you and give you a life sentence in jail?

[DarkReality]

If I live forever, the cops couldn't arrest me. Assuming bullets don't harm me, of course. And assuming a hail of bullets sprouting from various machine guns wouldn't tear my flesh into bits and pieces.

[Sperry]

Immortality? Maybe. Omnipotence/Q-ness? For sure!

[FoH]

Why the heck would you even want imortatlity. I know you coulld see the whole word and its process, which i guess would be sorta cool but still. I would kill the person though, just for the heck of it.

[DevonTheGreat]

I would want immortality with the choice to knock myself off whenever I want. Which isn't immortality. Whatever.

[MercuryLime]

That's pretty much my reasoning - Yes, I'd do it.

[Forsaken_13]

I woudlve about 5 years ago, but then i read tuck everlasting and makes immortality suck.

[Posh Jibbons]

You're IMMORTAL. Wait untill the human race kills itself, wait for the building to decay and collapse. You litterally have all the time in the world.

And if you cant survive a bullet then your truly aren't immortal.

[noobpwner1]

I wouldn't. I couldn't stand immortality, pretty much for all the reasons Vagrant stated. Times change, and all your friends and family would pass, but you would live on.... forever.

[Migg]

I would kinda. Only half immortal. Like when you hit the age 100, you age backwards instead of forwards.

[Vince]

I wouldn't do it, to be honest yes I'm afraid as hell to die. I don't know where we go when we die and I'm ####ing scared, but I couldn't go through the pain of seeing my whole family die and my spouse (if I get one) and then having to live for an eternity.

I love paraphrasing, makes me feel like I accomplished something.

[Kevim]

I've been asked this question before when we read a book with an immortal family in reading class a few years back.

Back then I said yes in a heartbeat, but now that I have converted to the Buddhist religon, and I have gotten a little older, it took me a while to think if I would actually give up everything I believe in just for my own gain ( I would absolutly love immortality ), but then I thought, if I lived for ever, I could probably help enough people to make up for my horrible deed.

What I'm trying to say is, yes, I would do it. I have the ability to live everyday as a new day, I really don't get bored of things. I would also like to see the world change, and of course, being able to take a bullet to the head would be badass.

[Mike Holiday]

Screw that..I'd walk across the street right now and blow my neighbor's head off. The best kind of immortality is one where you can be hurt, but don't die. Like someone cuts your head off, but it fuses with your body again. That's the best kind. I'd definitely take it. Screw everyone else around me dying...too bad for them. You can call me what you want, I'm just looking out for numero uno.

Imagine immortality where your physical body can be completely destroyed, but you're still conscious. Still want to do it?

[Tanktunker]

Define this "Immortality".
Do I age mentally?
Does my body decay?
Am I invincible?
Can I survive conditions such as loss of oxygen without being harmed?
Etc.
Etc.

It all comes down to how immortal I really am, because if I'm Godlike type immortal, which is completely, then yes, and there's enough to do for an eternity in this universe.

[Teh~GD]

I wouldn't want to live forever. It would get boring after a while. And then what? Sit and go on runescape and tell people they are idiots?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I think I would do it, but nly if it was a convict or something and it was a quick death.


And, Bodadem:
I wouldn't WANT to do it.. Immortality would suck ass, and I'd probably end up trying to insult every person in the universe -- In alphabetical order!
Have you ever read Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy?

[Teh~GD]

isn't the christian's belief that heaven you get to live forever with God?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Imagine immortality where your physical body can be completely destroyed, but you're still conscious. Still want to do it?
Wasn't he talking about his body regrowing or something like that?

If you are masochistic, and you get sent to hell, wouldn't that be a reward?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I might like immortality where you get old and die, then you are born again with all your memories.

[Kevim]

Can I survive conditions such as loss of oxygen without being harmed?


This is the only one I wouldn't like. If the entire world is destroyed, I want to be destroyed too. I would hate just floating around in space for eternity.

[crusty]

I probably wouldn't.

[Coheed]

You won't age, you cannot be physically harmed, and you can kill yourself when you want. So if you live until your entire family passes and you don't feel like living anymore, you can die.

[oblivion666]

well after killing the guy, you would spend time locked up anyway right???

[Doomed Rasher]

I would want to be immortal. (Programs a super-massive online game made in BITMAPS!)

Some people just don't get it.

[Forsaken_13]

I dont think the idea of the question was about the jail time but more about how ethical it was. I guess i would. It would be amazing to see the advances in technology.

[mattz1010]

Coheedandcambria's post is the one I'm agreeing with.

[¿CRAZYØ¿]

You won't age, you cannot be physically harmed, and you can kill yourself when you want. So if you live until your entire family passes and you don't feel like living anymore, you can die.

I still wouldn't do it. Knowing that you have to watch every single person you know die... seeing it... then dieing? I wouldn't want it. I'm fine with mortality.

[Arca]

Pshhh I do it in a snap, if it was someone I knew like familly no, but never met before? Hello eternity :)

[domsyodaddy13]

Immortality would kinda suck because things would get old. I would just like to live for like... 800-900 years, then die.

[Arca]

Lol I'd be a permenate Evil doer :), and they couldn't kill me! I could rule the world! Muhahahahahhaha!!!!




By the way I already control parts of russia :)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Another thing. If evolution is real (of course it is), then everyone will be changing around you. Would you change too?

[domsyodaddy13]

By the way I already control parts of russia :)

lol, thats believable. I control parts of Microsoft.

[Arca]

IT WAS YOU!!!!!!!












Nice job *high five*..... I'm soon gonna have a theme song

"Evil, Evil is his one and only name" You know from Austin powers 2.

[Kevim]

I still wouldn't do it. Knowing that you have to watch every single person you know die... seeing it... then dieing? I wouldn't want it. I'm fine with mortality.

You don't nesicarrilly have to see it.

And lets face it, even when your mortal half the people you meet who are the same age as you are going to die before you.

[STICK.FU.MASTER.]

Athiests would take it, religous people wouldn't.

[Coheed]

Wow, thats probably the dumbest thing I've heard. Atheists don't believe theres a God, but they do have morals.

[Arca]

Thank you Coheedandcambria you've earned my respect again! High Five! And STICK.FU.MASTER..... I have nothing positive to say to you...

[STICK.FU.MASTER.]

Thank you Coheedandcambria you've earned my respect again! High Five! And STICK.FU.MASTER..... I have nothing positive to say to you...

You are saying you would rather die than live forever? And what morals? A moral to go straight to hell?

[¿CRAZYØ¿]

Now Stick.Fu, they can not believe in God and still be good people. It's not like they worship Satan or anything.

You shouldn't have anything against athiests, except for the ones that don't necessarily represent them all(I hope), that go and make a big deal out of the 10 Commandments on a Court House.

[mattz1010]

What? Satan, Lucifer, Charon, Dante, Virgil (at my side, my guide and master), Gorgon, Medusa...they're all really good friends of mine.

Besides, if I was atheist, how could I be Satanist?

It's like an oxymoron.

The only reason I still have a shred of respect for you, STICK.FU, is that you've got Grissom as an avatar

[Posh Jibbons]

I was waiting for a good opporunity to say that.

Grissom = leet

[c00lryguy]

Yes, I'd take that chance as fast as possible...I just im not caught and sent to jail for life. Which would be the horrible HORRIBLE irony of the devil himself.

[Hex]

Wew... CSI..... needless totally overdone special effects!

Yay!
....
-cough-

Hmmm....

In the case that you would also never age/get sick:
Pros:
-You could "pork", as aptly stated in Jibby's title, millions of people without having to worry about any VD's.
-Wait a few thousand years and then totally pwn history tests.

Cons:
-Everyone dies
-You would be ####ing bored cause if you did anything illegal and got a life sentance.... well, thats pretty rough... (thinks about how much anus would hurt)
-Get divorced = an eternity of alimony and child support

[!FiShA!]

You won't age, you cannot be physically harmed, and you can kill yourself when you want. So if you live until your entire family passes and you don't feel like living anymore, you can die.

So if we are going by those rules, theres a good chance you'll be able to break out of the prison by head banging those cement walls, or just run it your way.

[Posh Jibbons]

-Get divorced = an eternity of alimony and child support

How would that work out when everyone dies?

[Hex]

Dunno.... you have a really ####ty lawyer?
>_<
