Immortality or death.

[old.Tohtori]

I'm jumping on the weird question wagon, though i think i never left the damn thing, and ask this;

Which percent of possible death would you find acceptable in an operation that would bring you immortality?

To clarify;

So you have an operation that will give you immortality(or other stuff, superpowers, whatever. Immortality is just an example).
You have a risk from 0-99% to die from it.

Which is your "nu-uh" point?

I think personally, i might go as far as 75%(to die) or so.

 

[Thorwyn]

It´s a one-time-offer, as in: now or never?
Then I´d say 50% is enough for me.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah, i would say that it's a one timer since otherwise peeps would go; wait until deathbed, then go for it

 

[Thorwyn]

Bah.. you spotted the exploit.

Anyway, if you're 80+ years old, and you become immortal aged 80, you're not exactly going to be a chick magnet are you? Presumably your body will still be old & frail - just that you can't die, right? If you're gonna do it, at least do it while you're on the right side of 50.

 

[ECA]

As long as you don't have to have a mass meeting of immortals in new york where you fight to the death by cutting each others heads off, I'd be all for it even at 99%.

 

[Zenith.UK]

I wouldn't have the operation.

You'd be the one not changing in a world where everyone else around you is changing with the times. You'd watch people you love grow old and die and you'd become a very jaded person.

Who wants to live forever?

 

[Lamp]

I don't know about forever, but I'd certainly like to be around when they discover the Unified Theory of Gravity. And it would be nice to win the lotto at least once

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'd like forever, there's always more you can do.

Watcching the universe collapse on itself would be atleast worth the wait

Though the most boring part would most likely be when earth blows up and you'd be surfing on a part of mexico until you land somewhere.

 

[Punishment]

Im completely cool with the whole death thing personally, it's a huge part of what we are

 

[Job]

If at any point in your life you have an operation to live for ever, then you all ready live for ever.
Think about it.

Stop it man you are hurting my head

[Roo Stercogburn]

To date the human species has not shown itself ready for anything greater than it already has, and often we've shown ourselves to be morally less. Given I do not rate myself any higher than any other then I have to include myself in this.

So I refuse.

Then I make a supersecret organisation of badasses led by Samuel L. Jackson and hunt down everyone that lived through the op.

<cocks shotgun>

You're next motherfucker.

 

[old.Tohtori]

You're next motherfucker.

This wins the internet

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Happy new year Seel

 

[old.Tohtori]

2011 is a year of, well, no one knows

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Would you really have it any other way?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Would you really have it any other way?

Nah, the unpredictability is the best part
