That's an interesting point. Would you age with immortality, or would you always remain the same? Could you choose what age you want to start being immortal? Say you learned about being immortal at the age of 10, could you wait until you were older to make the choice? Or do you age very slowly over time? Is a 100 years like 10? A 1000 years like 1?Immortality with eternal youth would surely encourage me to accomplish much more.

What an amazing thought! Have you heard of the great elder, Bheeshma, of the epic Mahabharata? He was gifted a boon exactly as you described by his father. Even when he was fatally wounded in the battlefield of Kurukshethra, he had the power to choose to die at a later, auspicious time.Insomniac07 wrote:As a concept immortality sounds great, but it'd be better if we could choose when we die rather than live forever. I feel like I'd get bored with being immortal really fast. It would become a curse instead of a boon.

Of course, Bheeshma's story from the epic is one of the most memorable ones for me. His powers would make for an interesting superhero, don't you think?Swara Sangeet wrote:What an amazing thought!

This is so inspiring! I hope to have a beautifully planned out schedule like you! I wish you good health to do all you can and wish to in this life itself!!Mannie913 wrote:If I currently just became immortal and my life was the way it was now, I would continue to live it the way I am. I don't think anything would change until my daughter and husband passed. I would continue to work and constantly continue to try to climb the social latter so then my later immortal life would be easier. My goal would be to not have to work the rest of my immortal life so I would definitely invest. I would end up going to school for probably everything under the sun. I currently have a degree in Business Admin but I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I would probably live that life for a while. Then maybe go to school for Writing. I would just explore every option that I had. I would travel the world and meet interesting people. I think I would be afraid to open up to anyone knowing that they would end up dying in front of me but I hope that's something I would be able to move past.

I too believe eternal youth should be combined for a happy life of immortality.Acwoolet wrote:I agree that it would depend on how the immortal life was lived. I Definitely wouldn't want to be immortal if my body would keep aging with the immortality, losing ones physical and mental capabilities only to live forever wouldn't be very ideal.
