Nope. Watching my friends and family wither away, watching the world fly past whilst I continue to be, questioning my very purpose in life as everyone I ever knew dies. Eventually I'd wish for nothing more than death.

We all saw the movie Highlander, who the hell wants to live forever?

That, or you could invent a memory erasing machine and start life over again for your mind.

I would live forever but I would want a weakness. I have to be touched by a rock from Mars to die Or something like that.

EDIT: I'm not a Ben 10 Fan but has anyone watched that episode where that guy goes through a portal of time and he learns time travel since he's somehow immortal or something like that.

I've never seen Highlander and I haven't lived too long. So, my uneducated choice would be that I would want to live for a very long time and escape the ravages of old age. But not live forever.

Living forever is as equal a torture as it is a benefit. Seeing the world change and alter over the thousands of years would definitely be something of an interest. And the fact that the potential of no afterlife existing makes me feel as though I don't want to spend an eternity in darkness were I to have the choice. But the fact of the matter is that at some point life itself grows old. Whether there's a purpose behind it or not, humans are meant to only live so many years. At some point you'd have to experienced everything you always wanted to. At some point there'd be nothing new to you that you've accomplished. The only thing you haven't done is die.

It's a tad depressing but you being the only thing to carry on forever knowing that everything you know and love will eventually move on and leave you behind is the opposite of a comforting thought.

Yes. Years of accumulated knowledge. Able to see into the next century. I don't know if you age, but I assume very slowly like in twilight. Then one day, use this power to slowly take over the world and rule it forever. Once I'm bored I will fake my assassination and go into hiding. I will then write history books anonymously based on my life and create a sense of suspicion that I'm still alive. Eventually in another few centuries I will return to take over.

That would be the plan.

You'd have all eternity to shape up.
