I guess but a woman's body is so spectacular, often more so when younger but plenty are amazing on into their 50's and beyond. (No reason why not.) But surely you'd want to document your greatest spring bloom?
Speaking as someone who used to leave tracts in people's doors that said we could live forever on a paradise earth, nah I'm good.
Death is necessary. It isn't even an evil. It's just part of life. All good things, and such.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I would like to be immortal only if I was certain my body was invulnerable and I couldn't break any limbs or loose an arm or something, and if my brain could store infinite memories.
I don't know. All other things being the same, if we lived eternally, eventually our bodies would crap out on us, and sooner, not later. Also, not only would divorce shoot up to 100%, but disownment would as well.

I got bad news and good news for you Soc.  The bad news is that you will not have a body.  The good news is that you will be free without having to be stuck inside a body that will eventually get sick, old and rot away to the dogs. Happy?
