If you could live 10,000 years, would you?
With no option of cutting it short once you commit.

It would depend on the parameters of my life. There's no option for it to be cut short, but could I be killed or die from disease? If the entire world exploded, would I still remain alive for the next 9,000 years suspended in space, all alone?
Wow that's a long time. Even recorded history isn't that long. Recorded history is only 5,000 years. Human instincts are only 20,000 years old, so in another 10,000 years, humans would probably change drastically.
I'd probably end up a guinea pig trapped in a lab getting sliced and poked and prodded if I wasn't careful. Yeah. Immortality without the ability to, like, teleport or have some way to counteract the humans which would systematically tear you apart to find out how you worked probably wouldn't be worth it.
With no option to cut it short, I'd have to decline. But it would be a tempting offer with certain parameters.
I wouldn't mind it if human life span was 1,000 years. That said. Scientists are treating aging like a disease. And if they find the cure for aging before I die, I wouldn't mind quasi-immortality and staying young forever.
