Immortality or Invincibility?

Would you rather have the ability to naturally live forever, but still be able to die from a serious wound...

Or would you rather be invincible for a lifetime, so that nothing can physically harm you?

Your definition of immortality is actually just mortality without aging.

I wish I were invincible!

I dunno, could I physically change myself, like with cybernetics and such when I'm invincible? If not, then I choose Immortality, eventually I would become invincible with all forms of cyber-tech running throughout my body.

Part of the reason we are mortal is because we are vincible, subject to wear and tear, especially on the cellular level. If I were invincible, while that may not make me immortal, it would extend my lifespan considerably. I could use that extra time to do more cool stuff, stuff I wouldn't do if I could be harmed.

I'm also not sure I wanna go on forever while those I love and cherish, time after time after time, grow old and die; while things and lifestyles and cultures I grew comfortable with fade into the dust bin of history; while the stars grow cold, then protons decay...until all that is left is kelvin darkness...expanding ever faster...into...infini...ty...

Invincibility for moi.

Eternal Youth vs. Invincibility?

I'd probably take Invincibility, because I can pack more into my life being Invincible, then I could if I knew I was young, but could still die.

The second one, easily. Who wants to live forever?

(good thread by the way 👆 )

TY, and these are the reactions I figured. You could so much in one lifetime if noone could harm. Then again, one's intentions may be of question.

Basically the same with a different purpose.

Immortality... Observe the ages that go by and gain the knowledge of knowing what eternity has to bring, while staying away from sharp objects ofcourse...

Seems rather redundant, one weakness is anothers strength

age>invincibility>harm/injury

harm/injury>immortality>age

immortality, because when the universe starts to implode, you can always kill yourself.

plus, i would get the chance to start over once everyone i know dies.

I'd like to be invincible till I'm about 90.... then croak. faint

Hmm..
I'd choose invincibility, because I would be able to do things in a lifetime which may seem impossible for a normal human..

I'll chose both.

I would love to be immortal.

Hardly anyone actually dies from purely old age anyways...

Invincibility would be far more useful, opposed to an Immortality that wouldnt be able to save you from a random car accident.

With invincibility I'd be able to impose what I want.

But with immortality, I'd be able to make sure that what I impose, stays imposed.

Invincibility!!!!!! Ya never know when you're gonna step out in front of a bus, and then what's immortality gonna do for you?! Unfortunately, either one would make you a freak and an outcast.

Envincibility!!!!!! Ya never know when you're gonna step out in front of a bus, and then what's immortality gonna do for you?!

Or was that "Tales from the Crypt"............good ol family TV.
