If you could live forever, be healthy, look good

[sugarlost]

..have money and options? Ok
Maybe not live forever but just much longer... would you?
Have more time to do things that maybe you never achieved?

Why not? Art says it's the time limited nature of life that makes it special. What if that's not the case?

Absolutely. I enjoy life and I've missed a year of it thanks to Covid!

It's my (rather pointless) dream to have eternal life. Like Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger before it went tits up

Depends. Do my family get to live forever with me?

No

Hell yes

Why do you have to "look good"?

Yes, definitely. My first life ended mid 30s when my husband died, I’m now really busy (and struggling tbh) with bringing up DCs on my own - I want more time to have another go at life

Errr, yes, of course if you put it like that, what would the drawback be?

Yes but as the classic vampire film explains you would be sad to lose your loved ones if they only lived normal lifespans.

Do the rules include being happy; not much point otherwise?

No. I procrastinate enough, giving me more time would make me worse. 😬

Not overly long life but healthy and fit without the effort would be great.

Yes, it sounds good.

If I could be healthy and look good I'd take it. You wouldn't even need to throw in the money, as i'd have plenty of time to earn it.

@tiredanddangerous with science I believe it would be possible in the future for your family to live forever with you. My only concern is too many people living forever so this may have to be looked into and how we manage it ...maybe expand the world. I done think everything will sign up anyway

*don't think everyone

Living forever is such a weird concept. Like, what happens when the sun goes supernova and the earth is swallowed? Do you continue to live, floating forever in the infinite void of space?

Yes. I wouldn’t want to work for any longer than necessary though! I nice long and healthy retirement would suit me just fine.

No. 100 years and I'll be dying to die I think!

@Tophatorangebear good point... only if you want to look good.

@Roystonv yes of course we will be happy.

@Cwenthryth not sure of the drawback... hoping there won't need to be one

@tunnocksreturns2019. Reach out for support. Everymindmatters website is good, also think of contacting your GP, local services via your council, gingerbread support online for single parents X

No. But it would be utterly awesome if we could stop people dying tragically young - I’d far rather everyone lived to a reasonable old age than some died in their thirties and some people lived a very very long life. I’d rather science solved dying too young first.

@5128gap good point about the money!

@thyroidhelp 😂

Only if I could be mentally healthy.

Right now it's tough enough just to get through one day at a time!

@Okcookie I know that pain 💐, I hope you're getting support. I mentioned the Everymindmatters website above x
