I probably would, even if I ended up eventually being driven to insanity from being alive that long and watching so many people die... But eh... I'd love to watch the world change and see all the damage were causing to this planet with my own eyes... ^_^

So would I. The price of my loved ones dying would pale in comparison to the knowledge I could acquire.

Exactly.
The thought of all the time in the world to be able to learn so much...
I could learn all of the languages, lead so many lives. ^_^
It would be amazing...
The thought of not being able to do all of that is what scares me the most about death.

This might sound kind of weird, but I'm looking forward to death. I want to know if there's something beyond it, and if there's not, then that's fine too. It would be a relief, actually.

Definitely not me ... xD

hmm honestly, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone looking forward to death. Thats kind of creepy.

[_Nadie_]

When someone I know dies,
I get sad and cry.
As Ignorant as I may seem. I never seem to show my sympathy about someone's loss. I say I don't care, what's the point of crying if they're not coming back? they're dead already, there's nothing we could do about. Not only that, everybody dies. I shouldn't be a surprise for people.
That's just the way I act.
But in reality, I feel totally the opposite.
I try not to show that side of me though. You know putting up a tough front.
For what I feel towards my death:
It scares me. I fear it.
Since I was around 12 yrs old.
I had this weird thought that I'm going to die young (below 30)
Now I'm 16, I still have that thought in my mind.
If it's true, I only have 14 yrs left to live.
But because of that it's thrive me to live everyday to the fullest.
I try to make the most out of life.

I just hope I die after my mother.
If I die before her; she would be devastated.
I wouldn't want her to go through that.
I love my mom, but.
She would suffer more of my loss than what I would with her's.
I love her too much.
Just because I'm more emotionally stronger than she is... that's why.
I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

I hate the thought of death. but unfortunately it's part of life.

No son or daughter should ever die before their parents. My aunt died 5 years ago and to this day, my grandmother is still a wreck about it. It's completely understandable, she just can't let it go. It's a pretty rough situation.

[Dogenzaka]

Eternal damnation for my sins. Well, if I believed in that sort of stuff coming out of a merciful God. Hell isn't exactly a rehabilitation center.

lawl.

I don't fear death. Simple as that.

Wouldn't that make me God? I gladly take up that offer.

No. It wouldn't.

Anyway on the immortality issue. Defineatley. There's no way I'd want to not take it. Loved one'll die. But they were going to die anyway. So really you're just being there for them.

Why not?

I mean, it'd be damn close to it wouldn't it? To exist in the same form of existence would bring out some kind of God issues.

Ugh... it's not dying I'm scared of, it's what happens afterwards. >.> Where you might go, and whatnot.

I'd like to think reincarnation was true, but, ehh... I must admit I don't 100% believe any of the religious views... Not sure about the afterlife. I'd love to think there was an afterlife, if only to know that I'll see those I love again.

I do fear death, but in a different since than many people do. I can "die" and still live. It's the death of myself that I am most afraid of. Like, again, the situation where a son or daughter of mine were to die. I'm 100% sure at least some of me would die with them, if not all.
The body dying, ya, my time I'm not afraid of. Since I'm highly religious, very Christian, Jesus is the Lord and Savior to me, so I'm fine when I go to heaven. I don't have to fear that kind of death. The other kind, I do have to fear until my time. So I am kinda like Peter Pan in the sense that I think "to die will be an awfully great adventure." That death, the death of my body, will be a great one. I am excited for that, to see the Father, but I know that if it's not my time, it's just not gunna happen.

[sorafan1203]

When I think about death, I think I can't breathe (well duh its the obvious considerng your dead). I think it's dark thing and I worry about what happens to me. Like where I go in the afterlife is really WHAT I worry about in death and how I just die at times but mostly it's the afterlife...so yeah.

You may be immortal, but otherwise you're still human. Yes, you may have gained much more knowledge then any other human, but you'd still be bound by all of the other laws belonging to a race of flesh-and-blood creatures.
