If you could live forever, would you miss the possibility of an afterlife? If immortality was an option, would you take the plunge?This may seem like sci-fi fantasy speculation, but life extension technologies and techniques are on the horizon - we need to be prepared! The Common Room is here in Part #2 to take a long hard look at the promise and potential nightmare of everlasting life. If you could become an immortal, would you choose to? Would it matter if it was just you, or possibly friends and family as well? What would you use your everlasting life for? Or would the negatives be too significant - loneliness, loss of meaning, no afterlife, etc? Are there positives or negatives we didn't think of? Let us know what you think in the comments below! We'd like to thank Mark Register, Anthoney Rey Perez, Samantha Schacher and Hermela Aregawi for joining us in the Common Room!
