What would be the value of a life if it never disappeared? Idk, I would definitely 100% want to die... but I'd prefer to die before anyone close to me, so it'd be cool to have some sort of button to choose when you die lol.

Would you choose to remain here, or leave, if death became optional (for everyone)? What would you choose and why?

At the time of this post, there are more family members that are already gone than exist today, so I would rather be with my ancestors. I love my children/grandchildren, but their world is different than the world I would wish to stay in.< the world as it will exist at the time of my normal demise. I truly miss the seventies.
( truth be told, I think knowing what has been is safer than knowing not, what is to come, just sayin'...lol)

Peace

I don't know. Immortality is pretty tempting, but I wouldn't want to be crushed under colossal amounts of dirt or somehow launched into space and have to just sit there for eternity.

so true I never worried if I lived or died until I had kids, now my biggest fear is not being there for them. I don't think id want to live forever, but if I could live a few million years and travel out into space to see the universe id be cool with that, but then again according to my personal beliefs that the universe is just 1 living thing trying to experience itself from all possible perspectives I guess im already doing it
 
imo, the thought of not being able to ever die is way more scary than the thought of dying

I don't think a human lifetime is long enough, if it were up to me I'd cap it around the 1,000,000 year mark
 
"To one as young as you, I'm sure it seems incredible, but... ... it really is like going to bed after a very, very long day. After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. ...As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would chose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them." -Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Pg 297

from Hook (1991)
Captain James Hook: Prepare to die, Peter Pan!
Peter Banning: To die would be a grand adventure!
Captain James Hook: Death is the only adventure you have left!

I'm ready for the adventure....
 
While the thought of dying prematurely is scary as hell the thought of never dying is even more terrifying. Also in some ways I do look forward to death as possibly being the next great adventure. Or just an end to suffering. Either way doesn't seem so bad if I get to set my affairs in order first.

Looking forward to getting old with the wife. One lifetime is enough for me.
