Supposing there was a pill that granted eternal youth....

....but it only worked on those without children. Would you choose to have children and then grow old and die? Or would you choose to not have children and live eternally?

I can't have kids anyways, but also do not want to live forever. I can barely stand this life.

Which period of time would the youth be based on? I have no desire to be sent up chimneys to clean them. Nor do I wish to be laughed at because I haven't yet learnt how to wear a pair of trousers properly.

@Thodsis it would be based upon now and into the future. And you could select the age which you considered to be your prime.

@Jm31xxx I'll have the eternal life please. Children are horrible things.

@midnightrose that's a good answer. But I feel I must point out you'd be missing out on holidays in deep space and stuff like that.

@Jm31xxx Well dang. Changing things on me.

@midnightrose its too late! You already have kids. Just be sure to tell them not to make the same mistake you did. Unless you [i]really[/i] want to be a grandmother.

eternal youth, then id get to see the world ends :)

Jm31xxx · 41-45, M

@xSharp we would all be living among the stars by then so you could watch it from a safe distance.

xSharp · 31-35, M

@Jm31xxx highly doubtful, humans will most likely be the cause, and those humans with the money to cause it and the moey to escape it will be among the stars while we all die

@xSharp so just make sure you get rich

Well crap, knowing how things have gone with my kid so far I'd go back and take the pill.

One life time is enough

@jaymic64 might seem like that now but the future is probably going to be awesome. You'd be missing out.
