Wanting to live forever is a childish fantasy, it's the big brother of wanting to eat nothing but chocolate. Grow up, already.


It's very hard to make a proper judgement on this without knowing what will happen in the future, beyond your natural lifespan. If the mental and physical limitations of age are eventually transcended, and one's peers are still alive, I wouldn't be willing to bet against it being worthwhile.

Interesting article: it seems seeing all your peers die off is perhaps the hardest thing about living longer:

Ridicule isn't much of an argument, though.
