I wouldnt want eternal life, what are you going to do if you know you cant die?
I just don't get people who'd want immortality.
Forever is a scary concept to me. To exist
forever, for all time... Ugh, no *** thanks. Granted, I'd like to see humankind explore the universe, meet aliens and ***, but that's what my TARDIS is for :)
I think most of it is because modern day humans (i.e. post agrarian society/35-40 hour-a-week-tops job investment) are so used to a hedonistic lifestyle, that they try to cram every free moment of the day in with pleasure-seeking activities.
So it is natural to hope for an extended (or indefinite) lifetime to pursue all that pr0n...er, I mean that healthy, active, pleasurable lifestyle. :p
That being said, unfortunately the human condition is also such that we all tend to get jaded as we get older, and that the "rush of passion" we get from a new turn-on grows stale the more we experience it, to the point where even the kinkiest fetish becomes "ho-hum" after a while.
Just look at Marv Albert or David Carradine...these guys were into some whacky stuff just after a *single* lifetime of pleasure-seeking LOL. Imagine what kind of weird depraved stuff has to be invented for someone who has lived 2,300 years... ;_;
