Writer's Block: Who wants to live forever?

Why is that second question even on there?

Also, it would depend. How "old" would I be? If I can stay in an aged 21-40 year old body (24-25 were some damn fine years), then sure. But if I'm in a body that's crumpled, doesn't allow me to walk without assistance, or exercise anymore, or have sex without breaking my pelvis, or that has all the cute boys running away like crazy from the sagging tits, or that requires my blob of a skeleton to be carted around on a gurney, then FUCK NO. I wouldn't want to live forever if I couldn't do it with vitality and pizzazz.

But is it because it's unnatural, or just that they don't want to have to go through the pain and suffering of burying their children. Mourning and suffering sucks, but if you are strong enough to mourn and move on, then living forever is doable. If you are one prone to mourn, and then fall into deep depression or some other psychological break from reality, then living forever is not for you.

I think I could write an infomercial on this.

('Infomercial' was already in my spell checker. What is this world coming to?)

Dunno. I can't even imagine what it's like inside the mind of someone who actually loves life enough to want it to go on forever so it's all fiction to me.
