With the laws we have nowadays, I would rethink your age. Not sure how fun it would be for a sexy, horny 16 year old to remain celibate for all of eternity.

Would you like to live forever? Sure. Why not? you would be young/old/kid whatever you like forever until you choose to kill yourself or by accident. Would you like to live a life like that? Not as excited with the "by accident" part, but I'd still do it. More than likely I'd end up in a government dungeon experimented on to "accident." I wouldn't like that. I prefer the truly immortal (unable to die no matter what) or only capable of dying by my own willful choice and directed action. If you could choose to stop aging(through technology) at whatever age you like, would you do so? Why? Or why not? If I was the only one that could do it, or was offered that choice, yes. If it was a technology that was offered to everyone (or anyone else at all), like an OTC pill, then probably not. Why would I like to live forever? I like life and living.

That’s too tiring I think and wasting resources

Why wouldn’t anyone want to live forever? I THINK life is a good thing, but I don’t KNOW that. Whether or not it is is not something I need to decide. If and when I become wrong, I will die.

Nope! Just watch Altered Carbon if you want some insight as to what someone gets up to when they have literally done everything because they are so old.

Yes, but not in this reality. Is there any other 'reality'? If we actually define reality.

Are you sure there are limited this things to do in this planet? We haven't even explored our own planet fully let alone the entire galaxy. Our adventures may never end if we are to live forever. There are infinite things to do, that's how vast reality is.

Thats very good to know that you like life and living. I'd like to know why would you not take the offer only if its offered to everyone else?

This is contemplated a little in Lord of the Rings; the immortal Elves and the mortal Men. It makes one think - what is the value of losing an immortal vs a mortal life? If you're immortal, do you play life with less risk than a mortal? I would take myself through to about 28 - which is not a bad age for health and fitness. I presume I'd still keep building experience from there and gain wisdom and all that. After a while, like a century or two, imagine the quality of tennis at the tennis club! (With all that experience building; assuming that others get the same opportunity.) What about procreation? If I was 28 for ever - every now and again I'd probably meet some new lady and go through a baby making episode. Wouldn't that create a huge overpopulation situation with no end in sight?
