It's a tough choice, living forevr watching evryone you know and love eventually die, never changing or trying to cram a lifetime into 24 hrs.

I don't think this one is as hard as the 24 hour decision. I know I am already going to live forever, but I will be better, stronger, and at peace, and I will see Jesus.

Forever as in until I decide I wanna die? Or as in nothing can ever kill me, even if I wanna die?

Living as long as I can until I decide I've lived enough sounds good. Living eternally.... not to sure about that. I can't honestly say whether I'd choose irreversible immortality or 24 hours left to live.

If I chose immortality, my family and friends would age and die, along with anyone else I was or will ever be close to. I'd probably end up an altruist, trying to stay away from meeting other people, because I'd rather not have to continue going through the cycle of making friends then having them grow old and die. It'd be cool keep learning more about science and stuff, because no matter how long I live I still couldn't possibly learn all there is to learn. But that also might get boring after a while.

If I chose to only live 24 hours, like I said in my post in the other thread, nothing much would change at all. I'd live out the last day as I always do. But to tell you the truth part of me is terrified and frustrated at the thought of death. To stop existing is not a pleasant idea, as I enjoy existing very much.

It's a tough choice. I'd have to think about it a lot more.

In the film The Green Mile God punishes Hanks' character by slowing down the ageing process. He has to watch all his family, even his own children, grow old and die before him. Without a doubt in my mind, I would pick 24 hours. That would be the best 24 hours of my life; a lot better than a "forever" of misery.
