You spelled "dying" wrong.

It's also a matter of circumstance. Perhaps he was very old and/or dying. If that's the case then it was probably a good thing.

No, not really.

It's never a good thing to die. I think.

No, not really.

So dying naturally of old age should be prevented else it is bad?

I would argue with that in a Spiral-esque fashion, but I don't have a Mr. Dark avatar so I'm not engaging in this.

Personally, I wouldn't want to live forever if I get old. I don't know if I'd want if I stay the same age, like in Tuck Everlasting, and I don't think anyone knows. Also, he was about 60. But unless he was going to get over the Alzheimer, I guess it was a good thing.

I would actually like to live forever, or perhaps just a very long time. Why? I want to perfect my skills and knowledge continuously. I don't want age to get in the way of that. Thanks to stem cells we may live longer yet.

But what purpose would your knowledge have if, the moment you know everything, you die and every bit of your consciousness disappears? I would like to learn a lot (not everything) and then enjoy that knowledge for a few years. Unfortunately, as I won't and couldn't live forever, I will not dedicate my life to learning as much as I can (though I can completely identify with people who do).

Just as RayFan and Spiraldoor, I share the same opinions about eternal life.
This site might be useful for those who are interested in extended or eternal life:

@iambored:
The same question could be asked to someone who only lives to ten years old, thirty years old, or even 90.

@Pat:
I'll definitely take a look through that site, it sounds very interesting.

Yes, of course. Death should be postponed for as long as possible. I’d never want to die: being alive is far too interesting.

I agree with you there. I guess it's a matter of opinion.

 

[ikke471]

but being alive forever would not be very good either!
all people around you would die sooner or later!
I would like to die at some point if it continues like that..

Again, that's why I'm not gonna dedicate my life to the search for knowledge. You guys should really read "Tuck Everlasting". It's an amazing book about eternal life. In fact, Tuck Everlasting and "Guliver's Travels" are the two books that made me think what I think of eternal life.

If you could live forever, presumably the people around you could also live forever via the same method.

true... but if you where the first and the others couldn't use the same method?

 

[Rulez]

And I don't want to think about death too much and spend my life best I can.

Like looking at Rayman Pirate-Community.

The idea that I’d somehow end up as the one and only immortal in the world seems like a bit of a long shot, but even so, I’d rather be forever alone than dead.
