there were 3 and a series, but always go with the first one, you get to see how Sean Connery plays an Egyptian who has lived in Spain for decades and his range of accents 😉
As Queen said, “Who wants to live forever?”. I think it would be a very lonely world, full of heartbreak. You would constantly be seeing all your loved ones die, just as he had to experience in The Highlander.
I totally agree. Plus there’s the ”aging or not” thing. If I kept aging, I wouldn’t want to turn into an old witch-like lady, aching until the en of time. If I did stop aging, I’d be disappointed I didn’t get to choose earlier in my life, LOL
If I could have a positive affect on things in the future by being immortal, yes. But just to try to match Methuselah and bump around the world as an old codger without any positive contribution I think would get boring. If anything is to be learned from history, carrying those lessons forward and trying to prevent the same mistakes would be a good thing…assuming future people will listen better than we do now.
There have been books ,etc., written about mankind’s being incapable of death, one recently in Portuguese. Other problems (disease, pain, unhappiness, suicide attemps, etc.) don’t go away. For that reason, the lack of ability to die would be an absolute and irrevocable nightmare.
The universe is only apparent via my own perception. If I cease to exist (God forbid!) then the universe, and time itself, comes (goes?) with me. Time and space will be rendered imperceptible.
I am already, therefore, immortal.
oh hell no. Who wants to age until they are half the size they used to be and covered with wrinkles like a sharpei? lol https://suziland345332445.wordpress.com/

Highlander didn’t time travel, he lived for ever and if he ever came across an immortal, he chopped their head off with a big sword

🙂 I’m a bit afraid of what the far future will be like… So I think that 50 (or so) more years will be enough for me 😉

I am VERY fearful of what our future holds in store. But as far as an actual number, who knows????? It is all out our hands.
