well, it would be interesting to never die. at least if one would not be totaly alone and maybe if one could just travel everywhere without restrictions;) hmm, how unholy thoughts to be godlike?? if we are children of god, well if we grow up we'll be
i'd love to see what happens to the earth, when the sun bursts, when new stars are born. and and and..
and i'd love to have a look at the big attractor beyond

We would probably go insane if we live that long. By around 140 years you will be bored as hell and won't care anymore. Why bother working and getting a job, getting a family is kind out of the question since your kids will get older than you, but I guess you still can have a family. Kind of difficult to imagine what will happen if we will drive ourselves insane or not, but still curious at what technological advancements we will achieve.
I do not solve problems.... I prevent them.

Certainly more than 100,000 years. From something I read a while ago, anyone born in the 1970's and later has a sufficient chance of living well past 100 years and those born in the 1980's and later, an indefinite life span is possible. I don't recall where I read it, but this was based on our accelerating technological advances. Heh, just ten years down the road and there could be a cure for diabetes, AIDS, or even cancer and 30 years from now, micromachines that destroy harmful pathogens and replenish damaged cells could be highly possible.
Just look at the combination of technological advances from prehistory to AD 1500. Then look at 1500 to 1900. If we brought someone from 1960 to today (such as through a time machine), they could be confused on what things are nowadays. Bringing someone from 1804 to 1904 would be about the same as someone from 1960 to today, even though there is a shorter time span. It's exponentiating, creating a curve in the graph starting off slow but ending extremely fast.
Edit: Big hazards, like a supervolcanic eruption (Yellowstone), a nearby star going supernova, or even a dead, dark star coming along moving planets out of their orbits could all cause major loss in life. Another case, but several million years down the road, would be the Sun getting very hot (but then again, we could change the orbit of the Earth moving Earth further away to cancel this effect).

I'd like to live a very very long time, so I can do great things and have as much of a taste of what earth as to offer to my senses and mind as possible.. but I wouldnt want to live forever.
I'd witness world wars 3-10.. all sorts of side catastropes.. and too many relationships of various kinds in my life will live and die when the other parties involved die.
Maybe if I adopted a less personal way of thinking about the mortality of friendships, relationships, family, and got used to the ugliness of mankind's way of existing and coexisting, I might not mind it so much after a while, but I think my emotional self would be too fragile to live more than a millenium or so, even if my body could.

Well Russell..It's nice to be able to live a long time..but if you live forever, youll see things happen over and over again, each time more traumatizing than the last... youll see beautiful things ..and then youll see them passover and die.. youll see wars, and youll see the aftermath. After youve done all the shagging and rocking and helicopter piloting there is to be done... what then?.. You still have forever to live. Not only would it get boring and mentally unsettling.. but part of the reason most of us dont take life for granted is that we have a very finite amount of it. If your supply of it is unlimited tho, it will become unprecious to you. You wont regard your life as a commodity anymore.. because to you it wont be. You wont be careful or at all respectful to your body..and youll end up torn up, broken up and diseased... but still alive (cue the warm fuzziness feeling). Life is precious, in part, because of its finity. We make the most of our time, while not being wreckless most times.. then we die. Death IS a part of life. If we did not have a finity to it.. we would not be cautious, or at all respecting of life, or be motivated to do anything to make ourselves great. It's a good thing life works the way it does.

2075. then i will have seen the first contact (5.4.2063) ^^ and, on the other hand, i will be 89 then. i had a grandma that became 93 before she died, but the last years weren´t life what i call it. i feel my energy will be burnt down then, and you have to know when to leave the stage. if not, the others will make you leave. and that´s something i want to avoid.

Formula 1 racing?
The point is, I (and most of you) won't be able to do these things in life, because it is finite and we are competing with the rest of the human race who also want to do things like fly helicopters and be rock superstars. There simply aren't enough helicopters or job openings for rock superstars to go around. In fact, most people only really get about twenty good years. Once a man hits 40 without having achieved anything great, he never will.
I imagine that for the unsuccessful and mundane masses, after 40 life becomes like a boring game of Civilisation 4 where you loose in slow motion, and after the long fruitless struggle you get told you excercised the leadership skills of Dan Quale.

well after the shagging, rocking, helicopter riding, bungie jumping, formula 1 racing, Starfighter piloting, starship hijacking, wormhole jumping and (insert 99999999 more extreme activities) ..you still have a trillion years to do...(?) with.
At some point you'll reach an apex at which mortal life has nothing new or unboring to offer... and that's when youll get boring and careless..and have a moot existence from then until..the end of time (but hey..if there's gonna be a big crunch and another big bang, you'll get to see that.)

Boring.
Living much longer than everyone else would obviously be a great advantage. Drop $5 in a bank account now, shag your brains out with every girl for the next 1000 years, and you'll be rich off the interest, still the same age physically and you can shag for another 1000! When you get bored of having all the money and pussy in the world, you would have plenty of time to do other cool things like fly helicopters or become a rock superstar.
Here's a question for those of you who think forever is too long to live: Would you be so happy about it if it you were going to die in the next thirty seconds? Is there such a thing as a good time to die? It's sort of like asking, when is a good time to catch herpes or for all your teeth to rot out, isn't it?
And don't you think that during all that long time you wouldnt fall in love with "some" girl/boy, "sometime"? It isnt avoidable, and if you do, and he/she dies, I think you would wish to never wished to life forever...

I've fallen in and out of love before. People I loved have died. My pets have died. I've lost friends and been tormented by my enemies. I've suffered embarassment, pain, disease and persecution.
Then I get over it and carry on.
Thank God for single malt whisky.
Michael, when someone you loves dies, perhaps you might feel like you want to die, too. However, I think you would get over it. Try putting it in another perspective, if you died then wouldn't you want the people you love to continue living and be happy?
So yes, I could live with that.

I think there is no such thing as 'eternal love', so I don't think it would really matter if she would die. What if she just leaves after a while, saying she doesn't love you anymore and she will never come back? In practise it would be the same as when she would die. Since in this theoretical case we would live forever, the love would die out too so to speak, I know some people never come over lost loved onces and some seem to die because of it somehow, so I think those persons would need more time than they have to live to get over it? What if they would live forever, wouldn't it mean they would get over it? Also just as with the fact that life is precious because it does have an end, so is being in love. That would be the only thing that would kinda be negative about being immortal, the value of falling in love might become different, because in time you could find another girl 'sometime' ...
Cheers

I think there is, as long as one of the member is still functioning (alive and sane) - which don't neccessarily falls into the "till death do you part" type love. But i'm talking about the love between a mother and son, a father and daughter, or siblings, or other very close family members. I don't believe that there is anybody in the world, who has ever lost someone very close, would ever say that they no longer love that member, no matter how long time has passed.
And for a human to live for a thousand years, which means that he/she will be in contact with numerous people who will die during the thousand year span. It would a heavy burden to know that you will live to see nearly all your love ones die before you.
But hell, I still wouldn't mind trying it out.

I've heard from doctors that the people most affraid of death are Catholic Nuns.
Whoops, that was off topic.
That would certainly be a reason JCL. You notice how so many rich and famous people are apt to try and hang in there as long as possible. The Queen Mother is a good example.
Not just that though. You can see from the replies that a lot of people are quite religious about this subject. Also, there are people who think they'll be overwhelmed with sorrow at their long life experience. I asked one of my students, who is a budhist, this question. She said it doesn't matter to her when she dies as she won't really be dead, but somewhere else.

Just curious but what does "Mio" stand for in the poll? Million instances onward? Shouldn't it be "MYFN" for "Million years from now"?

I cannot die. I am have eternalyouth. If I had to die...
I would choose fighting some sexy super model. A sexy asian super model babe... and I am fighting her for what I believe in. But being a sexy super model babe, I am over powered. and recieve a damaging blow to the stomache.
Then I'd die... because in a way it'd feel good. However, NOBODY MUST KNOW that I died being beaten up by a female. Something will happen... so they'd say "oh, he was hit by a truck." However, because I have eternalyouth... it seems that'd be the only way I would die... (if it happens.)
I do have dreams of dying like that... but I rub up against her body in my final moments... after dying I usually end up falling into lava or hot fire... I am not sure what that is supposed to mean. Heaven must be hot.

Just a reply to a question that was on the, uhm, I think it was the 2nd page of this thread. Quote:
Would you be so happy about it if it you were going to die in the next thirty seconds
I wouldn't be too happy, but I also wouldn't care 
And sadly, Russells theory doesn't work at all. Being a rockstar or any other pleasure that we can feel exists only because our life doesn't last forever. It's only fun because we all know that sometime, we won't be able to do this things anymore. Living forever would be an interesting experiment, but especially with absolutely no possibility to end it, it would be what most of us call "Hell" (as I've stated in my previous post). And also with 500 Mio. years, being a rockstar would be extremely boring, because it's nothing exciting anymore. Maybe the first 100 things that you do would be cool, but then you'd most probably lose every interest in any other activity, because you know that you could do it anyway - it loses all it's excitement.

Sebe, you're full of crap. People who are rock stars love being rock stars and usually do it for as long as possible. Don't believe me? Try doing a search for some popular 80's bands (if you were around then), you'll find that a lot of them are still going (you'll know INXS at least). What usually happens is, they get rich and famous, shag and drink everything in sight, retire, then discover that that was what they really liked best and go back to it.
Since you are not a rock star, or anything very interesting or important, but rather a good boring Christian, this might be hard for you to envisiage. However, I, for one, think it would be awesome to be a rock star, or a formula one race car driver, or a porno star, or a member of the royal family, or all that and more. What is it I like best? Money, sex, fame? -I like all that success. I like living, and I'll take as much as I can get.
EternalYouth, your death fantasy is wicked cool.

Absolutely, I don't doubt that. What I've tried to explain was that life in this form (which ends for everyone in about max. 120 years) is very fun, especially as a rockstar or anything else that is fun. But imagine, what if being a rockstar wouldn't be anything exciting anymore for you, because you could get it anytime? It would surely be fun for the first time or some more times, because it's a new feeling and you are what you ever wanted to be etc. But after being a rockstar twice and a pornstar five times, you'll most probably realise that there is nothing exciting about it anymore, because you already know it and it would be no problem to get it once more. That's my theory (can't prove it since nobody lives that long and has such powers )

I'd like to live as long as possible, with the option of "turning myself off" for a period of time, with some kind of escape from dangerous or stressful situations-- so you wouldn't be living forever stuck in a box-- and with the option of killing myself-- with some kind of confirmation interval a few years apart, so I would be certain.
I like the idea of living forever, with a "psychic hibernation trance" ability-- so when the suffering of life became too much, I could have a means of "peaceful sleep" to get away from the intensity of prolonged life-- but without being gone forever --like dying for a short time, then coming back.
Uuh, you're prepared soooo well!
Sure, that you are not already participating in an investigation program on 'how prolonging life'?

Life forever? no.
I don't think that would be very great.
You would see lots of disasters, wars, etc... Maybe you can't handle that.
I think suicide would be a daily happening indeed.. and that's not good either, i think.
Many people are curious about everything that happens in life, but why not being curious in what happens after life, in dead. Nobody knows, and the only way to know, is to die, i think.
But, a long life would be good. I hope i live long, but not forever.

i think it must be terrible to live forever.
imagine you would live and live and live... and it would never end...horrible.
i think, when you lived 200 years it would be boring.
thats also why i don´t like the idea of life after death in heaven, then i would prefer to be born again in another human, or maybe animal or even alien and forget that i lived and died already.
ich denke, es wäre schrecklich ewig zu leben.
stellt euch mal vor ihr würdet leben und leben und leben...und es würde niemals enden...SCHRECKLICH. ich denke, spätestens nach 200 jahren wäre einem schrecklich langweilig und man würde sich wünschen, das leben würde enden, was es natürlich nicht täte, man ist ja schließlich unsterblich.
deshalb gefällt mir auch die vorstellung vom ewigen leben nach dem tod nicht, dann würde ich es doch ehr vorziehen in einem anderen menschen, einem tier oder sogar einem außerirdischen wiedergeboren zu werden und zu vergessen, dass ich schon einmal gelebt habe und gestorben bin.
Jeder Mensch hat ein Paradies auf Erden, er muss es nur finden.

Why would living so long possibly be boring? It would just mean that different kinds of things would be of more importance to you than normally would have been to a mortal. For example having a bit of 'luck' (chance), would you still care about it when you would live longer than the time that it will eventually mathematically MUST have happened once? Would you even still care about materialistic things? I doubt it. Would love be important? Depends..? Those are the kind of questions that I find interesting and being immortal would make you find out. I think ideas will become more important than living a certain life, for example becomming a rockstar or president, but that would be in the long run, there are plenty of things to do in the first couple of millenia and since times change, there's a good chance you will never get bored. Actually aren't we still limited by past, present and future in what we would like to have been or be in a certain time? Being immortal doesn't mean you can live twice in 1998 and do anything you like within that time. Maybe after 1998 there will never be a world so full of nature as it is now, just to give a little example of what I mean. On the other hand positive changes could or since the time span is forever, would happen too. Cheers

I wouldnt want to live forever... just maybe a few centuries. Life isnt meant to be endless. There's a certain level of appreciation and specialness that comes with our finity.. and would be lost if that were not so. If we lived forever or.. maybe beyond a thousand years, we wouldnt appreciate life as much as we would having just 1 century to make our mark. I would want to live long enough to do everything I want to do.. and everything I want to try.. but that's all. I want to die.. after all that, but before any end of the world or..nuclear holocaust comes to pass. If it does, I dont want to survive it.

Oder zumindest solange, bis die Sonne als Supernova explodiert, und Du wieder freikommst ... zumindest kurzzeitig, solange bis Du wieder in einen anderen Stern hineingezogen wirst.
Wenn Du Pech hast wird die Sonne womöglich auch zu einen Schwarzen Loch, und Du kommst nie wieder frei.
Also ich stelle mir das nicht so lustig vor, unendlich lang zu leben und unzerstörbar zu sein. 
Ach ja: ich möchte zumindest so lange leben, bis ich mein "Fotorealistisches Mittelalter"-Spiel fertig programmiert habe. Also noch ca. 150 Jahre.

10.73 months from now seems about right. Quoting MENSA mag cover entity jcl, but corrected some smelling. Quote:
Suppose you can now decide your natural life span, but can not reverse that decision once it's made. The speed of your aging will then be determined by the desired year of your death. If you want to die within the next 10 years you'll age very fast, but when you want to die in 200 years or later, you'll age very slow or not at all. In which year do you want to be dead?
Above, I replied before properly digesting the quoted material, but oh whell, it's too late now.
The question is seemingly too one-sided, with too much con on one half the mark. Perhaps, it's a coded prompt for planning group activities, or a quick, simpleton weeding device? Basically, take a little off the top and make me smell like a flower.

Es gab mal vor langer Zeit eine Geschichte im Comic "DC Horror". Da hat so ein Typ genau diesen Wunsch geäußert. Er wollte noch 150 Jahre leben oder so und bekam diesen Wunsch von einer alten, häßlichen Hexe auch erfüllt.
Also zog er los und kletterte auf den Bergen rum.
Er rutschte ab, zerbracht sich beim Aufprall alle Knochen und war dazu verdammt, völlig regungslos die restlichen 149 Jahre in einer Felsspalte auszuhalten.
Hagel, Schnee, Regen, Gewitter, alles brach über ihn herein. Irgendwelche Krähen hackten an ihm rum...
... hm... ich bin zufrieden mit dem Leben, das mir Gott geschenkt hat und wenn mein Körper nicht mehr in der Lage ist, meinem Willen zu folgen, dann ist es auch ganz gut so, wenn ich von der Bildfläche verschwinden muß.
WÜRDET IHR EINEN DEAL MIT EINER HEXE AUSMACHEN??

Ich will solang wie möglich leben, aber lieber früher sterben, als in irgendeinem Altersheim nurnoch als sabberndes Zombie sich den Po wund zu sitzen.
Unsterblichkeit find ich mal übelst genial. Meistens haben das ja in Sagen und Geschichten die Elfen. Das wäre mein Traum =) Du könntest alles Mögliche machen, überall hinreisen, viele Berufe lernen, es würde nicht so wie jetzt sein, dass man einen Beruf erlernt und zwei andere "Türen" gehen zu, man könnte sich unendlich viel Wissen aneignen (müsste halt das Gehirn irgendwie auch mitmachen). Da wäre schon krass. Kann mir vorstellen, warum das in so vielen Sagen vorkommt. Da wünscht man sich halt schon, dass isch der Körper immer wieder vollständig regeneriert.
Aber alles in allem will ich noch so lang leben, bis der größte Teil der Autos auf der Welt nichtmehr mit Mineralöl fahren sondern WASSERSTOFF! Das wäre mein Traum, den ich noch erleben will. Alle Fortbewegungsmittel mit umweltfreundlichem Wasserstoff, da wäre absolut krass für mich.

There are some strong taboos against extending your life. That is visible in some answers here. The taboos result from a longstanding tradition and have the purpose to make you accept death because you can't avoid it. This can also be observed sometimes in disasters, shipwrecks and so on, some people struggle to survive and others just sit down to die.
However you can outwit the taboo with clever asking. In the poll at the beginning, 39% have voted "never", which means that 61% want to die by old age. However I guess this result would be different when you formulate the question differently, like this:
"You are 78 years old and hospitalized because you're suffering from the usual age diseases, such as mental confusion, rheuma, Parkinson, and incontinence. Now the doctor approaches your bed and tells you:
'We can keep you alive for a while but you'll die within the next 5 years. But there is a cure. I can give you a pill against the Alzheimer, Parkinson and whatever else you have, and you can then immediately go home. There's only one catch. The cure works by removing the physical effects of your age, and thus gives you again the body and mind of a 30 years old. Shall I now give you the pill, or not?'"

Well longing for an infinite lifespan / immortality is a rather silly attitude if you look closer. Denying death means denying life itself as both are connected.

Immortal things of any kind are impossible in this world of ours.
There are animals that are 'sort of' immortal, it's called ""biologically immortal" and means cells that do not age;

There are organisms with cells that do not age (or at least incredibly slow), so from the perspective of living it's not that impossible actually.
However I guess it's not quite right when you look at the definition of 'immortal'. ""Immortality" implies, an inability to ever die." A lot of these organisms can still die, they just tend to not die of old age,

Ich bezweifel das Unsterblichkeit so toll. Zumal das unserem sowieso schon überbevölkertem Planeten nicht gerade helfen wird. Ich denke so zischen 2075 bis 2100 ist eine nette Zeit um den Löffel abzugeben. Ehrlich gesagt bin ich sogar ein bisschen gespannt was nach dem Leben kommt (wer hat recht? Religion?) und denke nicht das Unsterblichkeit das Wert ist. Außerdem: So schlecht kann sterben gar nicht sein, immerhin ist bis jetzt keiner von denen wiedergekommen

Well imo you shouldn't equal non-aging with immortal. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to really discuss here but AFAIK non-aging doesn't imply being immortal (not mentioning hostile conditions and so on of course)...

would religious people have enough trust in the existance of heaven to not use that possibility?
I wouldn't be too surprised if many would be among the first to 'convert' to non-aging beings in such an event.
Because in all honesty isn't the whole conceptual idea behind their wish for the existence of a 'heaven' the ability to live forever? It's usually the biggest 'promise' of religion... obviously in exchange for your soul.
Perhaps this is just bias on my side, I don't know, but I seem to notice that a lot of religious people don't really enjoy being alive because of the fact that it's relatively irrelevant anyway when there's an eternal afterlife waiting for them...

Years for some, but the shell, tagged user "ICEman" is honored here.
As to the real purpose of this mark, the 'true' point or sense, regarding definitions held and slung by the lesser fool common collective, that party of reflected self assertive illusion, those bound servants of transient lying interest,
...to great a fool is this to answer.
With time, the root of mark upon itself here may lay, and perhaps, then again on death and choice, the cosmic lass, will silently, have her...

Lol, right. Yes, I like it, more power to you testDummy. Okey, I'm going to take a shot at interpreting your words there, so forgive me if I'm completely and totally off. So you are basically saying that death can be sort of a beautiful thing as it's what gives meaning to life, an otherwise boring infinite existence?  Well, I'd like to take my chances as immortal being anyway, even if it would be boring. Also zog er los und kletterte auf den Bergen rum.

I guess it would have been nice to be invincible / unbreakable as well in this scenario, but it would only make sense to as least try to crawl away, no matter how much bones were broken. After all, he had time enough to try.

@smitty: Please go ahead and explain the difference between eternal life in heaven and eternal life here on earth (or wherever future space travel would take 'us'). I think it is very interesting that according to the poll on the first page, the majority of the people who took it want to live forever. I would not want to live forever in this life. You'll have to put things in perspective when it comes to people that actually very much hold on to their current lives. Perhaps you're life isn't that great and although my life certainly isn't perfect, my life is great enough to want to live much much longer than humanly possible. Living for all eternity may become boring after a while, but on the other hand just think of our current world and compare it to 50 years back. Enough interesting differences in my opinion. Then again, what's 50 years on the scale of infinity? Regardless, there would suddenly be plenty of possibilities otherwise vastly limited by the factor time. Of course it is better than the alternative if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Saviour and are bound for eternity in the Lake of Fire. I know that God is sovereign in all things and that our lives our in His hands. Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ! Blessed be the name of the Lord! So... do you get like bonus points from your God for mentioning this or something? :P What a terrible thought to think that we would just continue to grow older and sicker in this world which continues to decay as a result of man's evil and sin. It depends on your look on what it would or should be like to live for eternity. In my opinion, I'd not want to live forever if it would mean living 80 years in good health and the rest of infinity as a half rotten corpse. Having said that, I don't think the world is decaying. A better observation would be that the world simply changes all the time. Cheers

It would be interesting for me to live eternally or at least a million years on earth. According to scientists, earth does not decay but will continue to exist for many million years.
But what would mean eternal life on earth for me as a Christian? If our scientists are smart enough to find a way for living millions of years, then because God gave us our smartness. I see no reason why using it would be against Gods ways.
By the way, I believe in God, but certainly not in lakes of fire or such, which have no base in the bible. The lakes of fire are as existent as Santa Claus or the little angels with the trumpets. No one knows for sure what happens when we die, but most likely we cease to exists as individuals.

most of the people want to live forever including me. but the thing is that now it's like that. but the life could become dull to you and everything might become boring to you in less then 100 years. yes i voted for never to die but who knows what will i think/want 60 years later. some people get so exhausted of their life and it's problems. i'd like to live forever, but under one condition. that i can die whenever i want to. so if i become exhausted of living, i can die and become free. but that's just my theory

Realistically probably wish i had never been born after looking around the world, but now i am here, survival is the thing.
I could never succeed to kill myself really since i left my body once and know that the essence of me does not die. I know those who has not had any such experience may think different.
I don't think the world will come to an end in my physical lifetime so i have no fear of "spending eternity in the vacuum of space".
Anyway energy exists in space so why not i too when i shake off this physical vessel, for i am but energy trapped in a physical vessel.

Except for the fact that what you've experienced has been nothing more but a dream-like state of conscious. Your interpretation of that experience is not an actual proof of anything other than the fact that your brain did not stop functioning...

So when your brain stop functioning what do you have?
Death, ergo if it does not stop, life, albeit in a different form.

Of course not. Your brain only continued to work for a little longer because you obviously did not die yet. When it comes to experiencing live, you're not dead until the oxygen in your brain cells are depleted.
By the way, when it comes to near-dead experiences, the time you've spent in any random dream is relative to the real time, in other words you won't really notice a difference between dreaming for about 5 minutes or 6 months. This is often why people consider it to be a different kind of reality, but it's not.
Just ask people that were able to wake from a comatose state. They will tell you all kinds of stories. The brain's very good at making us believe all kinds of things are still going on, some of it might have truly happened, most of it not. It's actually a powerful survival mechanism.
Without any motivation to live, most people will actually die relatively soon.

That may well be true.
I can only experience it the way i did for now, and
in the end all we have is our own personal experiences and
our own heart and mind and understanding to explain these
experiences to ourselves.
//
I was floating on the ceiling looking down at my body with my hand laid across my girl, and as soon as i thought i am afraid to go further, i was back in my body instantly.
My girl then said you became very heavy(my arm) for about 3 minutes and i was afraid.
I actually saw her trying to push my arm up off of her.
So maybe my body died and my essence fled out of it, i just dont know for 100%, it has never happened again.

I can only experience it the way i did for now, and
in the end all we have is our own personal experiences and
our own heart and mind and understanding to explain these
experiences to ourselves. I agree very much with that. It's just that people often don't seem to be open to more rational explanations. We could of course pretend we can't possibly know the real explanation or instead fantasize the heck out of it coming up with all sorts of interesting explanations, but there's a lot more known about the brain than people usually are aware of. Regardless, interpretations will always be relative and erroneous to some extent because of a simple lack of knowledge here and there. No offense to you and I don't mean to say that I do know everything, I don't... It just amazes me how many people think of such events as something supernatural or miraculous. For example; the thing with your arm becoming heavy causing a hallucination is actually something that is known to possibly happen when you are in a certain condition. Hypnotists abuse this little trapdoor to our human psychology often with their stage hypnosis acts. You should read up on it, it's very interesting. It's all a matter of starting a chain reaction and bypassing the brain's control system. After that.. even just a single word can cause what you've experienced. For example if your girlfriend said something about not wanting to lose you. Your brain will do the rest. Of course, this doesn't change your experience nor devaluates it... Cheers

This reminds me of the book "False memory" by Dean Koontz and, as well, of the movie "Dragonfly" with Kevin Costner. In "False memory" an evil psychologist controls the brain of several patients by leading them on a lower area of consciousness. Maybe you, paralelist, experienced something that way (without outer influence). In "Dragonfly" an anesthetist is quoted who had said that there are 100 layers of consciousness. In each the experience of yourself is different. The deeper you get (or the more you are dead) the weirder it gets  It's all a matter of starting a chain reaction and bypassing the brain's control system. After that.. even just a single word can cause what you've experienced. For example if your girlfriend said something about not wanting to lose you. Your brain will do the rest. It will really be interesting when software is able to act this way. Guess you leave the toilet lid open and your PC slaps you in the face  No seriously (and back to topic), I do not want to life forever since I will life longer than all people I know. That would be awful to see them die one by another...

I would like to live to a good age but if I am ever unable to wipe my own butt, that's when I would like to die regardless of age.

Think about this brain-experiment: if the existence of our world / universe is endless, our life must also be endless -> we die endless times and we gonna born endless times. Cause in an endless system, all things in the system is also endless. funny think / thing cheers Marcel
