Who wants to live forever?
Nowadays, health has become a very
important matter, not only for people who want to have a perfect body by doing
exercise or being on a diet in order to look younger but for scientists as well
who are doing research on new medicines to treat diseases. But, are they only
looking for new treatments? Absolutely not. They are trying to find out the way
to fight against death, to find immortality.
Living forever is an unattainable
dream but let´s imagine that it was real. Would you want it? There are many
reasons to live for a long, long time, even as long as centuries. On the one
hand, you could do anything you want, no matter how long it takes because time
is not a problem. If you want to be a doctor, you can do it. If you want to be
an architect now, you can. Moreover, you could learn and speak several
languages and travel all over the world. Think about it: anything you are
thinking will be true sooner or later.
However, there is a dark side, a
side effect. The main disadvantage of living forever is that you will see all
your family dying: children, wife, parents, all of them. As a result of that,
there will be a moment in your life when you will be completely alone. You will
only have friends instead of family. Besides, if you are a healthy person, it
is perfect, but if you are not, if you have a disease or tend to fall ill, you
will always have headaches, sneezes and other such symptoms, and you will spend
most of your life sick. In that way, you could not enjoy life. You will be in
hospital, making appointments with your family doctor, or going to a pharmacy
to buy some pills every day. What is more, you will have to have a medical
check-up twice a year at least.
To sum up, I think life is long
enough if you know how to take everything it can give you. Why live more than
one life when everything you like to do and everybody you want are in it?
