Anti what? Not me.
How can anyone live forever when it is an absolute certainty that one day every last star including the red dwarfs will die.
Then our whole universe will be well and truly dead.
What makes you think anything can last forever?
Entropy and the arrow of time will ensure that nothing will.
All other notions are just flights of fancy.

It always goes like this.
I would absolutely want the option of living as long as I want to. I would not want eternal life (as in no option to end it) forced on me.
You should specify what you mean because when you say immortality, most people automatically think they would not have an option to die if they wanted to. It's a very important detail because if you think about it, forced eternal life could be a form of hell. Forever means forever. Most of us can't imagine living forever without eventually reaching the point where life would be unbearable. Eventually, you would reach the point where you have done absolutely everything you could possibly want to do and would stagnate to the point where you would want to die.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I don't wish for immortality.
Reason: boredom.

Life is fun because it carries an expiration date. We enjoy living because of the memories we make and how we spend parts of our lives doing various things. Living till infinity would mean any memory we make, any person we love or anything we do would be inconsequential and meaningless because of how infinitesimally small and insignificant each moment of life would be.

Most certainly not. I would not want to live forever. Especially if I factor all of the shit I've had to endure this last decade. Nope. Not for me. I'd rather know I have lived a full life and can eventually die than experience one that would continue to cause me endless sorrow, grief or pain.
