(17) Would you be willing to be extremely ugly physically if

...it meant you would live for 1,000 years at any physical age you choose?

Odd question but no!!

Nope - not just cos I'd be ugly like but cos it wouldn't appeal to me that much to live for 1000 years to be honest. Not when all my family and friends that make my life so good would all be dying around me and I'd have to go through major heartbreak and then try to move on with new people in my life.

No, every one would be dying round you

No, I have no desire to live for 1,000 years. Imagine how insufferable the conversations with the "young folk" would be: "When I was your age we didn't have hovercrafts and we knew the value of our Space dollar. WE had to clean our bionic feet in acid every day before we were allowed to take the shuttle to the mall" ... or something

who the hell would want to live for 1,000 years. that just means you would have to work longer like say 900 years sod that i'd rather die at 70 after 5 nice years of retirement.

No thanks!

I don't want to live for 1000 years, even the thought of eternity in an afterlife gives me the willies, thankfully I know it won't happen. And I don't want to be ugly. So it's a BIG FAT NO from me!

What a strange question. First off, what's ugly? And second off, no matter what I looked like, I wouldn't want to live that long.

I'm fond of another question - would you rather be really ugly or really stupid? A tough one!! But for the question in the OP, I'd say no. I don't want to live for 1000 years (I think part of the beauty of our lives comes from it's shortness). I don't want to be the same age forever (how do I know what wonderful things lie around the corner as I age?) I don't want to be ugly (we can say 'beauty is on the inside' all we want, but people who are ugly are treated appallingly in our image-obsessed culture).
