There was a book I read that addressed the whole concept of immortality, from a purely physical sense, saying that if we were immortal, then everything would become trivial. Whole empires rising and falling would be nothing in the great vast infinity. In a spiritual way, it is far different, because of the veil we put over ourselves when we incarnate. From a purely physical point of view, I would find living forever would just make it so easy to procrastinate. There would be no urgency to anything, so therefore, what would be the point of doing anything? No matter what, you'd still be here. I just hope you wouldn't get life in prison.
