Life and Death decision
This may seem silly, but trust me, I'm going somewhere with this!
If alliens came to earth and offered everyone who wants to accept, a life span of 200 years + plenty of money + a good life + healthy body and brain of a 30 year old + your friends and family could join you.
But the aliens want one thing. After 200 years of a great life, you die a peaceful and painless death. They ship your body back to their home planet where you are eaten.
This is not a deal-with-the devil with hidden consequences or anything like that. It is just what it says.
It sounds good to me. I get eaten after I die? Go ahead. I just rocked it with my peeps for one helluva long party.
Why would I care what happens to my body when I am dead?!? If buried, the worms eat it...worms, aliens, what's the dif?
I hesitated. For some reason I'm voting none of the above.
@BeerAndWine Remember Soylent Green and Sigourney Weaver and Alien? Aso, would you want another two hundred years even looking good as well as healthy?
And even if I said no, if they could promise all that, they'd probably eat me anyway. So I'm conflicted.
@BeerAndWine No.
@BeerAndWine But..but...indecision is a hallmark of being human.
There’s SOOOOOOO much life to explore on this vast planet (and beyond!!) that 200y may not be enough time to do so but I’d jump on the opportunity to explore in a heart beat! Besides Europa is my girl!! I just know she has life on her and I don’t want to die before knowing for sure!
One important question - do I continue to uglier and creepier and repulsive to young gals and forget more sh** and get more aches, or do I start getting younger year by year after 100?
I HATE that 'Sir' sh**.
