Merp...I tried to reply to this topic last night but the forums crashed. So here I am trying again.
Personally I think we have extended our lives long enough. If we all lived forever (yes I am being a bit extreme here, but that is what I think when someone mentions immortality), it would get boring (anyone see that one ep of Star Trek Voyeger with the Q that wanted to die?), not to mention we would have serious population problems.
Death is a necessary part of life, no matter how much we dread/fear it. Nothing lasts forever, not even gods(IMO).
There was a saying that is so true I got from a cartoon years ago: "It is not how long you live, it is what you do with the time you have."
