Would you rather have a set lifespan of 100 years or die normally?

    If you had the choice to guarantee your lifespan to last till your exactly 100, would you take it? I know i probably won't live till 100 but i wouldn't chose that because i would rather death remain a mystery to me.

    hmm i'd rather not take it
    like if you get like a horrible disease when you're 90, 10 years of suffering if you want to live all the way to 100
    it isn't worth it.

    sometimes things are best left unknown

    I would definitely choose to live a normal life...

    UNLESS the 100 years life span comes with health warranty -- I remain healthy until the moment of my last breathe. In which case I would still choose to die normally coz 100 years is an awful long time...

    Evil is not supposed to die. Gosh, to have thought you were everlasting was so wrong. :p

    Oh, the vessel which holds evil may perish, but evil exists until the end of the world... Wind is silly to think otherwise.

    And since I thought the question asks about the physical existence (the body), so yeah, of course it WILL die. But there will be plenty of new vessels to hold the spirit of evil -devil

    No, probably 234890809435898234-aa0001 or something. Evil is too numerous to be named... -tongue2

    normal death. i don't think i can stand living knowing that i'm going to die when i'm a 100 but when and where and how? suspense kills.
     
  14. normal life for me, living till 100 may result in me living through the burden of witnessing my own children's deaths due to me exceeding their lifespans. -cry2

    I rather die normally and not take the 100 yrs deal. There is a chance for me to go beyond that age,

    Also I think if I lived that long i would've turned into "living dead person" because nostalgia would kill me inside out...

    It's not quantity but quality that counts

    ^haha I think the same! More and more people are getting 100 years old or beyond nowadays due strongly improved hygiene and health care so I think there's a good chance I'll live much longer than the current generation of elderly by the time I belong to that same category.

    On the other hand...hmm to know when your 'deadline' on beforehand is might work for some people who would like to achieve certain things in their life or solve things in their life first before they become maggots food.

    MDD and Tax are so optimistic... All I can think about the deal is that "what if I wanted to die BEFORE I hit 100?" -innocent
