| If you could live for ever, but the cost of that is that someone in the world will die. Would you still take eternal life? |

There's an option missing: No, I don't want to kill another person for selfish reasons.
I answered "No. I'd eventually tire of living.", not because I'll ever tire of living, but because I'd tire of seeing my friends and family die.
That is so sweet, Promethean. I totally agree. That option should be there, because that was exactly what went through my head when I read the question. And, scarlomane, good question. That was the longest I ever spent on a question.
15% don't care who dies?
Perhaps the estimate of sociopathy in the U..> population is too low (4%)!
Eternal life would suck bigtime. In less than a billion years earth will become uninhabitable. It would suck to have to keep moving though the universe in search of companionship.
We should be able to create artificial life within one billion years, we should be able to have found other inhabitable planets within one billion years, we should be able to have some kick ass star wars ships within one billion years.
Not to mention the graphics on computer games, and of course HAL 9000.
We COULD create artifical life, we COULD find other planets, we COULD have space ships, but do you think in the next billion years we could make a toaster that doesn't either burn it or undertoast it?
Do you think in one billion years we'll have found a primitive culture than had just developed written languages and we come along and convince them we are "God" and when the die they will live with us in heaven, forever?
