are you serious
being immortal means you cannot die. it's being the opposite of being mortal, which means you can die
if i remember properly, you can be immortal and the only effect it gives you is infinite age, preventing you from dying from natural causes. but you can still be killed
also you don't need to be dramatic, it looks stupid

Do you even know what 'mortal' means?

im mor tal - adjective : not capable of dying : living forever - used to say that something will last or be remembered forever


Now that we've got that cleared away, immortality for myself, assuming that it's in perfect or normal health, having painful and incurable cancer or MS or paralysis or brain damage and it never ending, or simply waiting around until there's a cure has no appeal.

i don't want to burden my friends with the consequences of immortality, so i'd take it myself
i'd still get to live in their lifetimes with them right, even if i'll have to dread living on forever

Definitely make myself immortal.
I want to be around long enough for people to invent time travel
Then I could help people throughout time
Anyone get that reference?

I don't even have any friends, so I what else would I choose?

make myself immortal. friends come and go. ill always find new ones.

p much this. I doubt my friends would appreciate existing for eternity anyway.

if youre immortal your chance of getting a horrifying disease skyrockets too 100%
Your chance of surviving long enough for a cure to those horrifying diseases also skyrockets too (although maybe not to 100%).

Well, assuming I don't physically age, I would choose myself.

I think it's going to have it's own horrible aspects, being immortal, but I'm afraid I am greedy enough to take away the obvious benefits over giving them to my friends.
My atonement for that is knowing that I will see every person I love die, including those friends.

On the other hand, I could guide my family for generations.

i couldn't choose either
i can't watch the people who i relate to majorly as a fatherly figure die if i choose my own immortality
and i can't put my friends through the same stuff
i know it sounds bad
but
i want to die at the end of my life, i served my purpose and that'd be it

Neither I don't want to be immortal.

Unless I know something happens after you die i'm going with immortality.
People are going to die in your lifetime, its inevitable regardless of it.

I would make myself immortal because it would be a curse
I value my friends too much to have them live forever, everybody must rest someday

that, and it takes a special kind of person to use immortality for the good of the majority

i dont have friends so i'll just make myself immortal

Immortality is the greatest curse that can be bestowed upon an individual. I'd rather take the third option of "neither"
