I recently read an article which said that 40% of those age 45 and under in the U.S. answered "no" to the question "Do you want to live forever?"
What an interesting question! Even though the article didn't specify, suppose that everyone stopped aging physically when they reached age 40 (and those currently above age 40 reverted back to their physical condition at that age). That would allow people to grow into their child-bearing years and continue to raise families. Assume, just to keep things fun, that magically there were no overpopulation problems as a result, like lack of space or food or jobs.
I think that I would. Of course I'd have to work a LOT longer... to build up a retirement fund large enough that we could live just off the interest. But there would be so much to do and see, generations of people to teach and meet, and all the time in the world to do it.
