depends on the kind of eternal life biological would mean less and less space more shortages more conflict etc none of which appeals to me downloading your consciousness to some mainframe and living digitally not sure that would work the amount of resources needed decreases but all the old human problems still exist except now you can't punch idiots

This would be a Px for sucide

Immortality would be a nightmare, unending, unrelenting, eternal misery, sorrow and boredom

I think that is painting the picture with the "way I want it" and not "the way it is"

immortality is a ways off still, medicine is advancing slowly. most predictors compare technological progress, not medical as the metric to predict, which is wrong.

the real question should be, how do we prevent a special rich class benefit....

also a lot or rules will have to change as well..

The only reason I would want to live forever is if I could be regenerated and be as space explorer.

My opinion is that it would be bad for human beings to be immortal. What would be the point of doing anything if you know you always have tomorrow.? We have accomplished so much simply because we have so little time to do anything.

I like this small talk about Einstein that uses his thinking on energy being eternal: [tm.org]
