I completely agree with what Theophrastus said and to be honest, I couldn't put it any better.
If you look around at the elderly today and note how they are struggling with things such as mobile phones, computers, even DVD players - simple things that you and I can't comprehend as being complex - you'll get a glimpse at how life would eventually be for you if indeed, imortality could be achieved.
I have worked as a Care Assistant, looking after the elderly, people who were right in the centre of 'new technology' in their own youth, and now alot of them don't even know how to operate a digital clock. I have seen the frustration in their eyes when they simply can't understand a certain concept.
If you were to be imortal, just imagine how much worse that would be for yourself. Technology would be constantly changing at an alarming pace, too fast for your own mind to comprehend, because as you get older, your mind will slow down. I don't believe that you would be able to keep your brain in the healthy state that you were born and grew up with. It simply isn't a natural process and although it may be doable in the very distant future, and you can keep that healthiness of your physical brain, your emotions will begin to destort that healthiness. Living that long, would eventually drive you crazy.
In my own opinion, I came from nothingness, and I will go back into nothingness. I will only have this life, (as far as anyone knows) and so I will try and achieve as much as I can in it, in order to pass it onto the next generation of people who will in habit this Earth.
