Living Forever Would Be A Wonderful Thing (Against)?

Doing a project on it and my partner is arguing for it and i'm arguing against. I have already written too crowded, being too old unable to do things by yourself and no ill person wants to suffer and live forever. Any more suggestions please.

Thank You for all the Help!!! ^_^

    Ever get bored on a rainy Sunday?...Imagine a million of them.

    Eventually, you would have done it all...a thousand times.

    According to Cracked:

    After a few thousand years, evolution would leave you behind, and all the non-immortals would think you're like a caveman.

    Everyone would want to do science experiments on you to see if they can discover the secret to immortality. What good is living forever if you have to do it as a lab rat?

    The human brain only has so much storage, and eventually you would use it all up. You would become more and more forgetful. What good is living forever if you're senile?

    As we age, our subjective experience of time speeds up. The older you get, the faster time seems to go. Eventually, this would drive you nuts.

    And, most worrisome, you could end up in an accident and become trapped under rubble or underground after an earthquake. If you lived long enough, eventually the world could be destroyed and you would float forever in space.

    All in all, immortality doesn't sound that great.

    The "problem" with Living Forever Is- it gets increasingly more difficult to deal with Change as one gets older. So you become more tentative about trying & doing New things; more Isolated from the World around You; and LESS happy with your perceptions of how the World is "turning out" ! You quite literally get "tired of the World"- and no longer enjoy Living anymore ! So the Prospect of NOT having Life's "way out", -& "living forever", is really not so "Wonderful"- as you might Think ..! ;)

    No, once you're speaking approximately residing below modern-day circumstances. yet actually below the circumstances the Bible describes. The Bible says at Psalms 37:10,11 that "in straight forward terms a speedy jointly as longer, and the depraved one would be not extra...however the meek ones themselves will very own the earth, and that they'll surely locate their beautiful satisfaction in the abundance of peace." Verse 29 tells us that "the righteous themselves will very own the earth, and that they'll stay continuously upon it." Revelation 21:4 talks of the circumstances saying that "he will wipe out each tear from their eyes, and dying would be not extra, neither will mourning nor outcry nor discomfort be anymore. the former issues have kicked the bucket." however the only i await the main is what it tells us at interest 33:25: "enable his flesh become brisker than in infants; enable him return to the days of his youthful vigour." Isaiah 33:24 says that "no resident will say: 'i'm sick.' " And the elementary incontrovertible fact that this worldwide is so crime-ridden and adult males have grew to become into such conflict mongers, the scripture at Isaiah 2:4 which tells us that "united states won't carry up sword against united states, neither will they study conflict anymore," incredibly facilitates me to await the destiny when I can stay continuously on a paradise earth, without the depraved, not extra wars, and in suitable wellness with my epidermis brisker than in my infants. The question incredibly isn't if residing continuously is a superb situation, the question is do we would desire to be there? So actually, to me, residing continuously would be a impressive situation. i wish this facilitates and that i wish you do properly on your speech.

    If you lived forever, you would have to watch all your friends/family die (assuming they don't live forever as well)\

    also, you would be unable to adapt to changing technology (even in the life spans they have, older people complain about the newfangled tech)

    You would run out of things to do

    What would be the purpose of living life to its fullest, if you know that there's always tomorrow.

    And, if you're religious, then living forever would mean never going to heaven or seeing God.

    I think it would be sad to outlive everyone you ever knew and loved in your life too, especially if you outlived your own children, grandchildren, etc.
