No I'm not sure I'd like it, ethically seems wrong.
I wouldn't want to live forever as a robot . I'd want to still be in my own body . Even if a biological body host becomes available afterwards it's still not your body and would be too bizarre , plus living forever doesn't sound fun either.

Maybe they don't have the time?

I'm hurtling through space in my head humming along to U2 now.

Yeah, I didn't actually know it was originally a novel. Sounds like the series follows the novel pretty closely though.

No. I need a rest thanks.
If I had to come back then I would like to be a great oak tree, planted in a spot with a great view.

I would do it until i get sick of it. Can my friends and family do it too? because i always figured at first being immortal would be great but after so many friends dying over and over and over again i'd get sick of it and just hide on some island somewhere and be lonely forever

When it comes to questions of immortality, I've always said the same thing, I'd want it with the caveat that I could end it whenever I pleased.

I'd definitely give the Altered Carbon business a whirl if it was real.

On the subject of the thread, I guess, no. "Living forever" just takes away from what life is all about, and what makes it so brilliant. I'd like to think that when it's time for me to drop off, I'll be content with what I have achieved and grateful for what I have been given... or something to that effect. x

Definitely. I'll help the revolution to take over from those pesky humans who ruin the planet by needing stuff like food and central heating to survive

I'm quite happy to be mortal and I would not want to be resurrected into someone's potential robot slave. With our luck, some greedy corporatist will get access to our personalities and shove them into a database at a sex doll factory and then we'll all be fooked.

BTW if they can pull that data like a file, they can copy it. It's not like human brains have built-in firmware-level copy protection.
