Assuming that all my memories will be intact, yes I would want an afterlife and I would want to be around people I know from this lifetime. But if you tell me I will be able to be happy without my closest ones with me, I'll assume I wouldn't be the same person in my afterlife and I could care less.
If we were immortal, I guess we would be lazier, a lot lazier. But at the same time most of the famous scientists would still be alive which I guess would be a plus point. We could find a higher rate of suicides in the society, I mean, imagine living for 700 years. I know you want to but can you? Even Gandalf didn't live that long, or did he? O_ wait, he doesn't count. Also, the world would have been be overly populated by now. AND JESUS OR MUHAMMAD COULD STILL BE ALIVE! I guess the world is best the way it is. Surely it would be very punushing to our dear planet if crusades, jihads and global warming all happened at the same time, right?
O_o and the most important thing of all: we will need eternal youth as well. Imagine some sexy girl you like when she is 666 years old! And imagine the look on her face when she lays her eyes on your 700 year old face! O_LorD I'm horrified.:cry:
I don't think I want to be immortal any more.
I would still want an afterlife if the above conditions are met.
