Immortality might be a bit much but I wouldn't mind a few hundred extra years. Having the choice when to end it would make a big difference. Also I could do without getting old, sick, and miserable.

Living over and over the same experiences would make you feel old, sick and miserable.
Why are you making the assumption that people would live the same experience over and over given that they'd basically be able to experience anything they wanted any time they wanted?
because when you have an infinite amount of time you will end exploring an infinite amount of possibilities.
forever.
logic. use it.
If people have an infinite amount of time and are exploring an infinite amount of possibilities, they're quite obviously not experiencing the same thing over and over again.
Logic - something you clearly don't possess.
Experience is not infinite though. There comes a time where a carbon atom will look much like a carbon atom no matter if you found it here or on the other side of the universe.
Infinite amount of possibilities =/= infinite amount of matter
There is only that much matter and if you look at the periodic table of elements, only so many combinations.
sigh. don't make me ridicule you like that.
Really??? Why is the human being so arrogant in thinking he knows everything in the universe? Are you saying that there are no more elements because they are not in the Periodic Table? Think twice, please.
And to think there is an limited amount of possibilities is to be pretty closed minded.
Edit: Of ocurse, you have a limited life but that is something else.
That was your argument, not mine. I merely proved how flawed your logic was.
Completely irrelevant to what I said.
I never said it did. /shrug
So what? What's this got to do with anything I said?
With that pile of irrelevant nonsense? I don't even know what the hell your blabbering on about and I suspect you don't either.
That's why I figure a few hundred years would be a good compromise. I mean, there are well over half a million books published each year, so at a book a week it would take me 1000 years to read one year's output. Plus I'd like to write a few hundred. I'd also like to master the piano and the drums, learn to paint worth a damn, travel extensively and meet lots of people, finally attain my pilot's license, maybe go back to college. Maybe even have a kid or two, if I knew it wasn't going to take up my whole lifetime.
So I don't know, I'd rather decide for myself when I was bored enough to pull the plug.
most books will look the same. I experience this even today after having read some books. most people repeat themselves because really, there is not much one can come up with other than mostly repeating what others have said before him.
