This is actually kinda a no brainier because nobody wants to live forever
Emily
I want to live forever :/
Jeremy
Speak for your fucking self.
PureAwesome
@Emily, in a couple billion years when the Earth is inevitably destroyed, you and everyone else in the planet would float around in space, forever. Additionally, the older you get, the faster time seems to go by, so imagine how fast time goes by when you're millions of years old.
Violeta Ordonez
@pure awesome I would honestly prefer to cure cancer but if I had the chance I would live forever consequences be damned. You know why? I'd assume sometime in the future scientists would advance enough that I could just put my brain in a machine.
slayer123129
i wouldnt want to live forever
Shanna
Pretty sure you could probably choose to not live forever if you didn't want to but as for me i'd love to live forever.
Tom
Id live forever in a heartbeat
Peter
My problem is with the phrasing: I'm not going to MAKE everyone on Earth live forever. That's not my right.
kelly
My fiance does, but I do not. I'm not depressed or anything, but I'm actually curious to find out what happens after death. Not to mention, since I know I will die someday, I enjoy life that much more.
Brad Smith
If you were living forever then you would never have to lose a loved one, which is why no one wants to live forever.
JediChick238
Ever saw how your great-grandmother looks at 82? Well just imagine how you will look after a couple a' hundred years!
Demosthenes
@Emily Do you really want to live forever? Forever young?

Pure, time is irrelevant if you're immortal

Who wants... to live... forever? Oh, I love that song!
William
Well, since everyone would be living forever, I wouldn't mind. I just don't want to see all of my friends/family die.
[deleted]
If everyone lives forever it would result in extreme overpopulation leaving most people to be extremely poor. You would also become bored of most things as you'd have experienced so much of it already. Not to mention that you would not appreciate the time that you already have and to take care of the little moments.
Franklin Chen
@Pureawesome At least we'll still have our family and friends
Franklin Chen
Also... soon space would be completely inhabited with humans..
UseThisToAddressMe
@PureAwesome it does feel as if time flows faster as you age but that has nothing to do with getting old. It's all about the concentration of new experiences, strong emotional moments and interesting things that happen to you. If I could live forever I'd be able to devote whole human lifetimes to learning every possible bit of knowledge, attaining and perfecting every possible skill and enjoying every possible entertainment. Intergalactic travel would also be withing my reach. I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty to do for the 10^100 years I have until the heat death of the universe.
AnotherFishyMuffin
Oh well, here will be enough other diseases for people to die from.
ThePorkyJesusKing
I don't want anybody to live forever, anybody sucks!
Loopholemania
Buy doesnt this mean cancer doesnt matter
Loopholemania
Dangit I typed buy insteat of but
Fus-Ro-Dah
@loophole yes, but just because you can't die doesn't mean you can't be in horrible agony...
Aqua
hehe, I made the 69th like :D
AlexAnder Katamadze
sentenced to a jail forever bithcezz
Jake
Here is the thing though, if you live forever you basically do both things because everyone would live forever and you cured cancer because nobody can die so it is a win win in this case for the human race
moses
Nobody wants to live forever because they would be just reliving the life they already lived. And how would it work?? Would they still have birthdays and stuff like that??
jpollo
I want to live forever solely because of all the scientific advancements I'd miss if I die.
Mr.Turnip
You can just shoot your self
Freya
so many agree's
Utah G
Who doesnt want to live forever? You get to witness as humanity expands its dominance to other planets, cures all cancers, and turns earth into a city planet
51%
After a hundred years life would get kinda boring
Utah G
"nobody wants to live forever"? Seriously? Who doesn't want to see the future when we dominate the entire milky way and develop extragalactic travel?
dabowieknife
Immortality on earth would be a curse not a blessing
Utah G
not exactly confortable with the idea of KJU and islamists living forever
Mykaela
I DO!
Kairon156
I do too but there are too many issues if everyone on earth never died.
the ORANGE
over population idiot!!!! EARTH=BIG BOOM-explosion
Quill
@luke, Yep. No one wants to be an immortal and have endless kids until the population booms.
Nick
if you let everyone live forever, they could be invincible if you look at it another way, so criminals would live forever, and you would feel pain, wouldn't u?
Bill
nomorecancerifyouliveforever
Jeff
they can commit suicide
Clover324
Some people dont want to liv forever. Some people want a limited time to do stuff. Also, remember, red section, you hav doomed the world. Every 4 seconds a baby pops out. Dat means a ton of babies. Feel sorry for the women
KylerthegamerMLG
if you live for ever, you would have to deal with, never ending boredom, overpopulation, seeing the world end...
Juliana
technically if you find out how to make people live forever you would have cured cancer.
DragonNadia
Agree
Buzzee37
After I answered I realised that criminals would live forever so I vote blue
Kristina
i chose blue because if you make people live forever everyone would blame you for overpopulating the world.....
assad yaqoob
I mean if you made everyone live forever, the cancerous patients would never die. They would have immortality
Rahn
And then they would live with cancer... forever. I mean you never cured cancer did you?
ColeTheGuy
But the thing is, people would still be here with you forever; it's the perfect fantasy.
Reddemon
If you live forever than wars will keep on going on no matter what.
The Wanderer
If you have a way of making everyone live forever wouldn't that cure cancer.
Lol
Living forever would suck if you get cancer imagen living FOREVER TROUGH THAT HORRIBLE PAIN just the pain of cancer until 1 guy or girl finds a cure for cancer wow rather cure cancer then most people would live longer
Xgreneyd
if you live forever you will probably cure cancer anyways
sourcupcake123
you ever read Tuck Everlasting? whereas killing cancer would save lives without anyone being miserable (though just curing cancer isnt possible period, read The Emperor of all Maladies for more on the treatment of cancer. And no, it is NOT too long, Im a kid and I read it in a few days.
Garrett Netflix Solomon
I do
Emi
But then they won't die from cancer
Emperor Trump
I am immortal but I don't want to giht for my power.
jacob
if u make everybody live forever that includes curing cancer
a fox.
@Emily you would be alive when the world ends, and be floating around in space for eternity.
luke
if you live forever, you would suffer forever as you wouldn't be able to do anything as food and water would run out
Jpodmoney2
Well, if you made someone live forever, the Earth would be crowded like a JB concert, so... we would be REALLY STUCK.
All-Star
Who wants to live forever. Queen reference
THE BOSS OF 2016
not everyone doesn't want to live forever. You're just speaking on yours and the other 64% of people's behalfs.
J.O Martini
why not, its not like it's only you, there is also your family and friends and if you want to die its says u live forever it doesn't say your invincible you can choose when to die
Scottish-Norwegian
You live forever in heaven
BillyTheHonourable
If everyone lived forever then there would be no downside, right?
BillyTheHonourable
Because if EVERYONE lived forever, you wouldn't see anyone or anything suffer in your forever spanning life.
Doge41575
emily if you lived forever you would feel pain
VoidSoul7
If I can be the one who saves ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION from the horrible darkness and bleakness of death then everyone can experience everything this life has to offer then how can I even think about saying no? We will still be able to expand far from Earth. We can still explore the vast universe all around us. Just imagine what can be done when you quite literally have all the time in the world.
SirJonathanG
@PureAwesome yeah, and you would witness the end of the universe. AND the beginning of a new one. over and over and over o_O
Chris Gotswag
I would
Player 1
If you live forever, you would be still alive after a nuclear bomb or something. Imagine how bad would be live 500 years of sickness or after all the others life forms disappeared!
Player 1
Also, overpopulation, necessity of living in other planets, and one day, the wholee solar sistem would be full.
pringgle23
why are you blue the?
the lord
Everyone will forget about you
EbolaNigger666
well thats a descision and plus eternal life is pretty much curing everything
FireWolfGoddess
Guys, one word: Overpopulation
☯Chilled☯
You do realized you could actually become a greater person mentally and socially if you cure cancer.
MIchael
if you live forever, then life would just get boring, and the world would get WAY overppulated
James
Then jb would be alive forever
Brixzion
you would do bad for the world if everyone would be able to live forever
[deleted]
if the blues cure cancer and reds make everyone live forever, then they can work together to make a better world. :D friendship
PS Shazam
There's a BIG problem with living forever. Overpopulation. Earth will eventually run out of resources, and we'll still be living, constantly reproducing. The beauty of earth will be lost.
superguy890
I agree
SomeJuice
well over population then higher demand on resources and people could be broke because of no jobs for everyone or just watching everyone you know die because that's "fun"
Glumpclaw
o'rly
Gamer Studios
I would save so many lives and if i did choose to make everyone live forever, it would be overcrowded; nobody could die or be get rid of.
lola
Exactly the Earth would become overpopulated and people would have to work for the rest of their lives even if they did not ask to live forever
Alexa
yeah our senses only get worse.
TheArgues
Speak for yourself nerd
DankMemeShitposter
hey but if they live forever that means cancer is not a problem
iLikeTrains
They don't want to live forever because they fear their loved ones will die but in this case nobody will die so it's all good
Criv
very true
SuperMario0518
that's only when YOUR'E the only one who can live forever but in this case its everyone
person
I DONT WANNA LIVE FOREVER CUZ I KNOW ILL BE LIVING YOUR PAIN sorry i love taylor swift
goodra
to be honest I chose curing cancer, because it would feel better, it would be more fun to live forever though, but I'd rather be smart enough to cure a nationally recognized and feared disease.
Aspen
If you live forever then cancer wouldn't kill you. How is this even hard?
zielxx
then you would be living a life full of pain
Eightball
overpopulation & shit
T.P.N
free condoms and no overpopulation 'n' shit
Unitama
Childeren are choices. People are going to make babies. No matter what. If you make it illigal it will still be done like stealing or murdering.
Juliana
if you lived forever you would be too old to repopulate and the people who are will and then there will be more people to work and grow food
Corey
Yes but theoreticly if we can't die then just launch us to fucking mars and start shit there bam no overpopulation problem we are already working on it
PS Shazam
It's not just overpopulation. The earth will run out of resources.
Chubbie
So your pretty much deadpool.
Solstrii
Because when the earth, and every planet dies, you will be sitting there, being the cause of billions, if not quadrilions+ of lives suffering, due to the lack of oxygen, no one can breathe, no one can eat or drink, everyone is being frozen, every sickness uncured, bad memories, being burnt by supernovas, being blinded by stars, being torn apart by black holes, etc. Also, you will be used as matter for the rebirth of the universe, or be torn apart by it's destruction. You won't go to heaven, either.
Cormac
Who's to say living forever isnt like Torchwood: Miracle Day where you 'live' as a pile of ash. Besides, living forever would suck anyway
GamerYoshi
CANCER WOULDNT HURT IF U LIVE FOREVER
Ryu-chan
GamerYoshi, Then whats the point? Earth will overpopulated and you will be floating in space with everyone else forever when the apocalypse arrive
Slyphoria
I'd rather get new people than stuck with all of these idiots.
john
if we live forever... cancer cant kill us
kaid
ur so fucking dumb
Skylar Jay
If everyone lived forever, they would still continue to procreate, and with no one dying, the Earth would become vastly overpopulated.
Chubbie
Yeah, cancer can't kill you but it never said you can't suffer from it.
Ahashi192
But, who's to say this isn't a world where I become famous for making everyone live forever, but someone else still cures cancer?
Emily
Well if everyone lived forever then curing cancer wouldn't be that great cause everyone wants to cure cancer so people stop dieing but if everyone lived for ever then cancer wouldn't matter
Nele
They'd just live in pain without dying, oh great.
Max
Yeah, Chemo exists. If everyone can live forever, they just get enough chemo to remove the cancer normally.
Marcel Bostelaar
DO you people use your minds at all??? if everybody lives forever, nobody gets killed by cancer, and thus there is no reason to cure it!
Ducky Mo-Mo
But living forever would mean at the end of the world, all the people who get eternal life would be gripped in permanent pain and cold for they can not die. As for curing cancer, all the people who get diegnosed with cancer may be cured and granted a heathy normal life and will die when it's their time.
Erin
But the people with cancer would live forever in pain
c0d0ps
It never said that we can't find the cure for cancer with the red option. Just think about it, we have infinite amount of time. If there was a cure we would find it eventually, especially since technology is becoming better and better at an incredible rate.
Skylar Jay
If everyone lived forever, they would still continue to procreate, and with no one dying, the Earth would become vastly overpopulated.
Solstrii
You will be the cause of an endless amount of species unable to die, suffering in space due to the lack of oxygen, food, water, being frozen, etc. etc. etc. Also, you'd get bored very quickly. You can't hear anything, either. Also, you'd get torn apart by basically anything space has to offer, and you still would have to go through all of it for eternity. You'd literally be famous for making everyone suffer for eternity. That's the actual definition of hell, and from what I know, It sounds worse.
Troy
Eternal life would be a curse.
Shakyl Lambert
Overpopulation, people.
Danythekid
Birth control, the chinese kind
Llama
We'll have an excuse to colonize Mars.
Solstrii
And what happens if Mars dies? and the others? You would be responsible for suffering for eternity in space, being burnt by stars, frozen in space, starving, thirsting, etc. etc. And no one can escape. Sounds like hell. I can't even go to heaven.
Rikujin
if everyone lives forever, then no one dies, thus making the earth over populated in 100yrs or so
John Tanner
Evolution,turdbrain!
Llama
But what is overpopulation if we're all immortal? No need for food or water.
Solstrii
Yeah, but we'd still likely feel it. You would also feel the infinite wrath of space once everything dies out. Including getting frozen, burnt, torn apart, repelled, etc. etc. etc. I mean, can you imagine feeling the sun and not being able to die?
GONZO
Hey look I'm talking to myself
Owen Fisher
After watching torchwood miracle day i learned that we would all over populate in months, and use up all our resources so of corse cure cancer
RI0TV4N
Fuck Yeah Torchwood! (:
John Tanner
well we wouldn't because this is ETERNAL LIFE,not immortality,people can still kill each other,there is still gonna be war and people would evolve and find a solution to overpopulation. They would probably allow voting for a better president.
Solstrii
Eternal means forever. It literally means live forever. If within the span of "Forever", you live, where can you die? Also, you would suffer being torn apart, being burnt, frozen, etc. due to space when the planets die and all that. And everyone would have to suffer because of you.
Mario Andres Valencia
if you think about it making everyone live forever is basically already curing cancer.. and letting everyone live forever
Ducky Mo-Mo
But if you were to cure cancer then peoole would get to live happy normal lives. But as for living forever, at the end of the world the people would just be floating in space forever in pain and cold since they will never die.
Abigail Carroll
I don't want to live with these idiots forever.
Chubbie
same
beatlesgirlie
If allowing people to live forever, wouldn't you have inevitably cured cancer? If no one could die...
Jerry Jerryson
Living forever would suck but theoretically you've cured every disease ever rather than just cancer.
Unitama
Be famous for save people or for fucking up the earth by overpopulation. I know my pick.
andrew
do you know how bad it would be to live forever after a while? painful diseases, horrible pain, extreme old age. plus Huge overpopulation leading to not enough resources everyone will be pour. plus religous people want to go to heaven AFTER THEY DIE right? however, curing cancer can give people a chance to live their lives fully. have you ever heard of pity killing? it means they are alive with pain SOOO bad they death would be better
beatlesgirlie
If allowing people to live forever, wouldn't you have inevitably cured cancer? If no one could die...
Otobot9
I you make everyone on earth live forever then you have cured cancer. In a way, with exceptions.
ladyperrynaj
I forgot about all of the 12 year olds saying yolo and insisting they have swag.
DARedditmaster
Yep.
Schmackadoodle
If everyone lived forever the world would have gone to shit. Overpopulation, bitches.
Llama
No need for food or water. Immortality, bitches.
Nope
Oh, and about the inevitable 'when the sun destroys the world' argument, we have about 5 billion years until that point. With no need for food or water, as we're unable to die, we can leave our solar system and colonise others. We can build gain space-station cities in deep space. Who cares if time is irrelevant with the inability to die, we have literally forever to explore the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Also, on the topic of painful and currently incurable diseases, we have literally all the time we need to cure them. That includes cancer. That way, it wouldn't be an eternity of people living in pain.
ohwouldi
There would be no need to cure cancer, because everyone would live forever
Robert Chu
Down side is I would also be blamed for over population
Rhys Campbell
Eternal life would truly be a curse, especially when Youtube commenters would accompany you in immortality.
camryn
thank u
Floatybug
if you make people live forever they cant die from cancer
nathan
If people live forever they would not have cancer
Ender1
lol :(l)
Marta Cranmer
Whaaat?! If you make everyone live forever, no one would die of cancer.. Why would you like to get the cure for cancer...? It would mean you will save the ones with cancer
JustCallMeLiam
Living forever would have so many negative implications, overpopulation/overcrowding would be the worst
kittymcscratch66
.
SmartOne3
If you live forever, you get the "privilege" of seeing ALL the people you love and care for pass away around you, but if you cure cancer, think of how many families would have a family member that they thought was going to pass, that they now get to see again...
reaper 99
it says be famous for making everyone on earth live forever
Loophole maker
Did you even read the red option?
locoriley
If everyone lives forever then cancer wouldn't kill anyone
aditi
yeah, who wants to get old and wrinkly and be unable to do anything?
Omar Jelly Diaz
If everyone lives forever cancer would be like a cold
nathan
If you make everyone on earth live forever does that mean that the people with cancer live forever too?
`-`
If someone lives forever that means cancer won't kill them. So. Wat.
Emma Butler
I'd choose to make everyone live forever, because if cancer struck, it wouldn't kill them because I made them live forever.
ringfinger
I hate too many people for them to live forever.
Ευηη Σηφακ
If everyone lives for ever, than the people with cancer do to? right? So than i'll be ''curring'' cancer and other illnesses just by making them live forever... than there is time to cure cancer.
Xerxes2113
Well, I just kinda chose the one that fixes cancer and helps people in another way :/
Conrad
um first off if you made everyone on earth live forever that means all the people with diseases live forever as well lol and who doesnt wanna live forever
llortemageht
Most people, actually.
dzamie
I like how the question never says that you actually managed to cure cancer/made everyone immortal, it just says that you're famous for it.
GreenMudkipz
The value of the human experience is living a limited life. Living forever would mean overpopulation, and probably eventually leading to life long depression. I know I wouldn't be able to handle living an infinite life, even the idea of dying to live forever in "paradise" depresses me.
Koi
there'd be so much overpopulation
blood storm
too many people that SHOULDN'T live forever…
Spleadle
Being immortal is actually pretty horrible.
NamnaWeawe
if u live forever you cant die from cancer
Papos
If they choose the cure for cancer, those with the disease will die anyway. On the other hand, if they choose to have those with cancer live forever, they will never die.
JzTH
If everyone on Earth live forever, any disease can't kill everyone, even if its overpopulation, no food, no water, no oxygen, no land to stand, eaten by anything, pain almost forever, bad people, I still would like to live forever.
