slurpster (11/04/2012) [-] FunFact: No ones dies from 'old age' since the 1950s, as that was when they removed that cause of death from death certificates.

its the unknown which follows it.

I am personally scared of the regret that is caused by the knowledge of death coming. Many opportunities to do something useful in life were never done. Life is long and many people take life for granted, but when death is near, they stop to think about the stupid **** that they've done. Take for instance, a high school drop-out drug addict nearing the end of his life. He would welcome death, but regret the fact that he had more-or-less wasted his entire life on drugs, whereas a better path could have been taken, ensuring a happy, more fulfilling life. This is what scares me the most, not death, but regret.

ningyoaijin (11/05/2012) [-] All that matters is what happens to you yourself, and that's a total shut down of every thought process. So I see no reason to fear it. What I do fear, however, is the suffering that may come before death.

graphenz (11/04/2012) [-] Not hell bent in any way, I would like there to be a afterlife, but why bother? if we can't properly test it, it's just a useless hunt. Theorize all you want, but you can't test it, so why bother? it will just be a question which burns up your mind for the rest of your life.

masdercheef (11/04/2012) [-] That's actually the main reason I would consider myself terrified of death- I have no idea what it's going to be like, and I will never get a chance to see how Humanity progresses after I'm gone.

happygrowman (11/04/2012) [-] exactly. you do not want to lose your state of consciousness. your state of mind.
you want to be able to identify your own existance.

novastroyer (11/04/2012) [-] If my atheist friend ends up on her death bed before I do, I just want to mess with her one last time and hold a flashlight over her face as she takes her last breath and just say "Head to thee liiight, come my child.."

negr (11/04/2012) [-]
yea except after a couple hundred years most of earth wont be habitable. you would be alone only with your consciousness to suffer and go insane for the rest of eternity. i dont think you understand how terrible that really sounds. 100 years is a long time to begin with but more is just plain horrid.

icefried (11/04/2012) [-] If all the humans died and i were immortal i'd spend the first couple of hundred years watching all the porn ever created. Then i'd go exploring with a portable DVD filled with porn (solar charger). Then i'd start minecraft building a house and paint it with pornographic images. Then i'd read every book ever written and watch every movie ever made.
Then i'd start digging a hole and see how far i can go. Then i'd do some more minecrafting.
After that a couple of millenia have passed probably and i would have gained immense knowledge, i'd put together a solar powered computer and i'd start programing all the while making a VR machine, like the GECK from fallout. And then finally i'd be able to return to the world i once knew through.. nah, just kidding. I'd make a porn scenario and stay there for the rest of eternity.
See, i have a plan.
Really isolation is only a probelm if you liked human contact before.

fedegon (11/05/2012) [-] I guess I would also invent time travel and go 6000 years to the past, create the universe and fill the earth with weird skeletons, then later I would make humans and put a bearded dude into a madness state, then after he dies I'll bring him back and everyone will go mad.

mikaelkid (11/04/2012) [-] Right now, most of us are afraid to die.
But when I'm old, I won't fear death, I will look back on my life and know I lived and did many great things, I'd die happy. Now I'm afraid because I have so much to experience
like the internet

semisane (11/04/2012) [-] Actually radical life extension would increase your chance of dying of old age... Because you would be less likely to die young... And you still wouldn't be immortal... So that leaves death of (or at least AT) old age.

thee (11/04/2012) [-] The way I see it: If we managed to extend the average lifetime from 80 to around 150, the terms "young" and "adult" and whatever would probably be moved. Since our aging is reduced, we would probably be as young at age 60 as we are at age 30 today. Given that "old age" is now considered ages between 130 - 150, our life as a working adult person would be longer, thus increasing the probability of dying in for example a car crash.
Of course, if you choose to go by the present definitions, then yes, there is a bigger chance at dying of "old age" (60+)

ChanChan (11/04/2012) [-] >Scientists invent life extension using nano bots
>Inject nano bots into self
>Biologically immortal
>Feel secure with no sense of urgency and that our actions don't mean **** since we have all the time in the world to make everything "perfect"
>Doomed to be a miserable cunt
>Get hit by truck in accident
>Die
Point is: Even if immortality were possible, it is undesirable. What keeps people motivated and constantly taking that next step is the fact that we have a limited amount of time here, and we never know when that time will be up. In order to live to the fullest you need to know, NOT fear, that one day you're going to die. Until then, you're worthless.

infinitereaper (11/04/2012) [-] I don't think humans are evolved enough to handle immorality yet.
I plan to found a company one day, with some R&D in science
I doubt it but if we ever do figure out immortality, no way in hell is it going to be shared or released.
The scientists and I *cough* will wait around a few thousand years to see if mankind is ready yet.
Seriously though. I'm not sure if people living longer is a good thing, on the other hand healthier and more youthful would be nice.
