If it's forced, eternal life might become hell at one point. I'd still take it over forced death if it were really available. The true prize is being able to live as long as you want to. I'm not a particularly happy person but I think 70 - 90 years is a tragically short lifetime. I'm such a damn procrastinator, I would need 150 years to really get my shit together. Then, I would need more time to actually do something useful. I can't see me getting board in anything under a thousand years.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
