I think there's professional help available for this sort of thing. And I don't mean a hitman.

Re: When would you like to die?

Well, I'd guess under the terms of the OP I'd like to live forever, because it's a day to day thing.

In the real world I'd be happy if my obituary read, "Goober, 108, shot by jealous husband"

But ask me again when I'm 107, I might be having second thoughts.

I'm not sure. I'd like to live a long time, but I could totally imagine reaching a point where I'd just had enough. Plus, watching all your friends and family die and having to live with it would be pretty harsh and might make enjoying your long life a bit difficult. Wouldn't want to live 100 years longer and spend them totally depressed.

I guess I'll stick with what I've got.

What's the name of that immortal alien in A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? The one who spends his eternity insulting every being in the universe in alphabetical order?

Hmmm...would you be willing to settle for: "Goober, shot by 108 jealous husbands"?

Re: When would you like to die?

I've thought about this question before. I know that I wouldn't want to live forever. I'm curious about the future, but not curious enough to give up that level of control.

I have to stick with the majority and take what I've got now.

Re: When would you like to die?

I'd like to live to 100, but that's it. I'll be satisfied knowing that the memory of me will live on as a famous historical figure, known forever as "The World's Greatest Lover".
