There seems to be a lot  of debate over the morality of biological immortality, and what it would mean for the economic and social structure of society.

If you were given the option to become biologically immortal, would you take it? Would you want biological immortality outlawed? Or would you just want people to have a choice?

EDIT: Biological immortality is the ability to never age. It's very different from mainstream immortality since you can still die from external circumstances like an accident or starvation.

Lol at these type of ques-tionz. "what would you do with a time machine" "what would you wish if you had all dragon balls" etc etc

 

these things will never happen

I would encourage you to do some research on the topic before writing it off. I'm actually doing research on my way to becoming a biochemist, and this is the kind of stuff we study at times. Perhaps not in our lifetime, but it is possible. Aging is a process caused by many different aspects of our body. One of the major ones is the degradation of telomeres on chromosomes over time. Tons of money is being poured into research to slow down or eliminate that degradation, and with genetic engineering right around the corner, scientists will be able to do things with the human body the human race could never have dreamed of.

Now, I'm saying it's right or wrong. That's what I'm asking you.
