Would you rather live forever, or one day.

Well, it really depends on the conditions. Does this include ageing? What happens if you're mortally injured? I mean seriously, if your body is cut up into little pieces, are you still alive? Do you have an Alucard-like way of healing yourself? Or do you just... remain like that? Side: Forever

Only because there is no 80 year option. Life would become depressing for me after 70 years. So, I would freeze all my friends the die and wait for medical science to advance to the point we can bring them back. Also I'd be able to help the world by detonating IEDs with my body. Side: Forever
Life is already way too short and I'd love the idea of living forever. Sure, there will probably be times where you'll be bored out of your mind but there are also so many things you can do out there in the world. It would probably take 'forever' to do everything you could possibly want and will ever want to do. Side: Forever

I think if anyone were to live forever, life in and of itself would lose meaning. By that I mean, life would lose it's value to us, if we were to just keep on living forever. In my experience it seems as though, all experience perpetuated on a continuum with no breaks anywhere, would become boring. There is only so many days, or weeks in a row I can play one video game until I don't want to play that game anymore, as it would become more redundant over time. Let's say I had infinite video games to choose from, I might be able to play videogames significantly longer due to the significant variables thrown into the experience of playing videogames, but even with those infinite variables of infinite videogames, the experience of playing videogames would still eventually become so redundant, that the experience itself would lose value to me. Sooner or later, I would become bored, and then after boredom comes disgust (in psychology, disgust is actually just a more intense feeling of boredom: http://www.quora.com/ As much as it would suck to only live a day, I'd much rather live a day with significant meaning and value due to it's temporary nature, than a dragging eternal existence that may drive me insane for eternity, perhaps that would be the worst hell... Side: One day
