If you could push a button and get immortality but not invulnerability, i.e. you don't die of ill health or old age but can still be killed, would you do it?

If pushing the button meant everybody else also gets immortality but not invulnerability, would you do it?

[philstar22]

Yes. Honestly yes. I have a phobia around the idea of not existing/not being consciously aware. Death really freaks me out for this reason, and sometimes it causes insomnia too.

[(Anonymous)]

The problem is I just like pushing buttons.

"Would you push a button if"[click]"it unleashes the murder-rape-leopards... wait for me to finish next time!"

How I die, probably.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL This is unfortunately very relatable

I'm not sure, I'd be concerned with the rich and powerful now living forever

If everyone can still be killed, they're in the best position to hold power forever instead of idk, a max of 100 years or so. And still in the best position to kill the rest of us if we have a problem with that lol

[kaijinscendre]

If my family also gets it, yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. Would that mean we'd be old forever or would it freeze us at our current age? Either way, I wouldn't press it. Immortality sounds awful.

[(Anonymous)]

No. I'm tired, boss. I don't want to live forever. I don't want to die now, or even soon, but living on this earth indefinitely isn't an appealing idea for me.

If everybody was immortal the fertility/birth rate had better drop very very low indeed or we'd use up our resources even faster than we do now.

Even if we don't die of old age or illness, do we still get old and sick? If someone is already old and/or sick to the point where they're in horrendous pain or comatose, will they heal and be old but spry and healthy eventually, or just stay miserable or unconscious until someone mercy kills them?

Do people age normally until they'd be on the verge of dying of old age, so eventually most people die of falls in the bathtub?

Do people just stop aging instead, so there's a bunch of immortal newborns? (It would at least solve the population problem if pregnancies stopped progressing, but that's a horror novel that ends in a lot of pregnant people who'd otherwise want kids having abortions, or maybe even committing suicide if anti-abortion nutjobs insisted they had to stay 8 months pregnant forever.

Can people not die of starvation? Because starving forever sounds like hell and there's too many people who die of starvation now, so unless everyone gets fed (and clothed and sheltered; imagine the pain and horror of freezing to death all winter and not dying) I'd say no on those grounds, too.

Idk, I hate the idea of dying but there are so many societal problems that would get worse if people were immortal but nothing else changed.

In a world where you could pick the age you stayed immortal at, resource scarcity and birth rates weren't a problem, and power hungry billionaire shitwads and their lickspittles were the only ones who still died of old age* maybe I'd take the deal. Otherwise, nah.

*imagine if the only way they could become immortal is if they gave up almost all their money and stopped trying to fuck the entire world; that might be worth it all by itself.

No

Death scares me and I love vampires, but death is inevitable. The immortal but not invulnerable thing would give even more people reasons to try to "outwit" death. I also think it would do immense harm to disabled folks and poor people, as if the state of things as they are right now aren't dire and inhumane enough.

I also would prefer to know that life will have a natural span of existence. The idea that humans can live forever unless some sort of event happens in which kills them scares me. I need to know that with progress comes some form of ending. What sort of purpose is there if there is no end to seek and find?
