Here's an interesting idea.  If you had the option to live forever but could opt out at any time, would there ever come a time when you'd say to yourself, "OK, I think I'm ready to die now."?  If you were enjoying your existence, what would be your basis for deciding that non-existence would be better?  Perhaps if you had done everything there is to do a hundred thousand times and were bored with all of it, or if you were miserable in you existence, you might choose to end it.  But I do agree that if you were enjoying your immortal self, you probably wouldn't be too motivated to voluntarily end your life.

Yeah, that idea was mine. But we'll just ignore your trying to take credit for it just now Smile

I think suicide in a futuristic world where immortality was on offer would be a very irrational thing to consider, let alone commit. Would there not be other, less final ways for you to put yourself to sleep, so to speak, waiting for a more exciting future?
