2732.... Who here would want to live as long as possible? If so, what would you be willing to do to achieve this? Do you believe the soul is real? Do you believe you could change bodies?

I would like to live to about 2000 years, but after I think about it for awhile... people would need to die eventually because the world would get overpopulated like crazy if you could live as long as you want while simultaneously breeding as much as you want

i have no interest in eternal or even absurdly long life(like more than 200 years). it would only be a tool of our own destruction because we prefer the novelty of eternal/super long life over the practicality of it.

if say it was used for space exploration then sure it would have its purposes, but you'd have to do alot more than just extend our life spans to keep us alive.

the human consciousness is our biggest hurdle not just the flesh sack we use to get around.

Oh I do not mean making everyone live that long, just if you could. I hate citing an anime but in Naruto the char Orochimaru becomes obsessed with learning, he realises to learn everything he wants to know he would have to live a lot longer than a normal human life. This is partially my reasoning. There is a lot I want to know and explore 1 lifetime is not enough

My answer depends on what happens when i "die"

If i simply seize to exist all together after death, then i want to live eternally.

If theres some sort of continuation in a different reality where i still retain memories from my previus reality then i wouldnt mind dying here in certain period of time to have a change of scenery :p

get out of your comfort zone. life without struggle carries very little meaning.

death is one of 2 things.. 1 the end of life ... 2 the start of a new better life ... either 1 is nothing to fear .. rather it be the start of a new better life tho B)
