That will be a sad day on your death bed. There you'll be expecting to be hovering or whizzing around the room and other dimensions with your subjectivity when instead the damned screen goes blank. Or maybe some text will appear that says "Game Over". Oh well enjoy the illusion while your old noggin is able to keep the consciousness fires burning. Who knows maybe all those neurons and organs really are just for show and we're real just astral bodies with a strange affinity for waking up in the same boring physical body each morning. You could be right. 
If you can not kill the energy you also can not kill the consciousness. 
The two always go hand in hand but this is a notion that you and your little mates will learn later on. 
How those two concepts even remotely connected is anyone's guess.
You might as well say that energy is eternal, farts are eternal.

I would like to be immortal, not because I'm not willing to die, but because I would like to see how humanity, and civilization develops in the future. But I'd like the ability to give up my immortality when I want to.

I would just like a shot at spending a small amount of time with the ones who I have loved and lost, eternity would be overkill, just telling them I loved them would be enough for me.

I don't know about being immortal but I would love to not age
The thought of aging really does scare me, I can't stand the thought of losing my health and my looks

That's why I believe in growing old disgracefully.

Absolutely. I see myself being that type of person who fights it so hard. I can't even judge Madonna for getting her 97th facelift because that's gonna be me in 40 years lmao

This is what I'd tell a daughter. You are a great role model.
