When I was young, I was one of those who thought "why not? immortal sounds fun and different from the usual option"

Then I explored immortality through writing and thought it's not such a fantastic thing afterall.

But what remains.. I think life extension / longevity / immortality should be explored (ethically if that's even possible..). Even though I've long accepted the nature of death, I rather have the option to be immortal with the option of "turning it off".

That said, if dramatic life extension can be achieved.. this will totally change the game of life (politics, relationships, economics, etc.)..
