ForestLogic 09/06/18 3:39:50 PM #1:	So God says he's gonna take an indefinite vacation and hands you a button which will make every person on Earth immortal. However, the big catch is that if you push it, no one can have children anymore. -Rules- 1. Every living human is naturally immortal and will stop aging. Children under the age of 18 will keep aging until they hit 18 and that's it. 2. People can become sick, but they will always eventually recover, even if they contract something like AIDS or cancer. 3. Anyone currently sick with a terminal illness will soon recover from whatever illness they have. 4. Human birth cannot take place anymore. People can have as much sex as they want, but conception will never occur. People are still free to adopt children. 5. The only way to die is for someone to take their own life, which they can accomplish by wishing hard to die 5 times in 1 minute.

SailorGoon 09/06/18 10:38:45 PM #20:	There's a lot of drawbacks. A lot of jobs would be lost. There'd be little need for occupation in the medical field, education, food service, etc. Then there's the fact that there'd be few deterrents for war/crime since people are essentially immortal. Yeah, prison is still a thing I suppose, but death penalty wouldn't really work. And if everyone is sentenced to life... Well, prisons are already overcrowded as it is. There's a lot that can go wrong. Really. Whatll drive people to work? They don't need food to survive. I suppose shelter is a concern. Idk. People might eventually tire of living. There'd be no means to continue civilization. Less drive, even if people work to keep a roof over their head or clothes on their back.

Yeah there will be people but no more procreation And eventually everyone will choose to die, which I bet happens far quicker than one would imagine. New Addendum: #6. This rule only pertains to Planet Earth. If you leave the Earth's orbit and make it to the moon or another celestial body, people are no longer immortal. Does this sway anybody's opinions? Wait, when does the immortality wear off? When you step off the ship? When you leave Earth's atmosphere? Cuz I'd like to pack everyone up and go to a new Galaxy but we'd need to be immortal for the trip. When you leave the ship.

There'd be little need for occupation in the medical field, education, food service, etc. People would still seek medical attention even if there's no threat to life. No fucking idea why people would stop desiring an education just because they're immortal. Hell, if you lived forever, wouldn't your desire to learn stuff increase? SailorGoon posted... Whatll drive people to work? They don't need food to survive. I said they won't die, not that they won't feel any discomfort ever again. You go longer than a day without eating, you're gonna be pretty damn hungry without dying lol. SailorGoon posted... People might eventually tire of living. See Rule #5. SailorGoon posted... There'd be no means to continue civilization. Lol what? 1. Still, a lot of jobs would be lost. The need isn't really there. Especially considering it's cheaper to just storm through the issues and heal naturally for free. 2. Okay but consider people who teach grades k - 12. They'd be SOL. Again, there's little drive for everyone to go to school. Immortality would definitely take away from the drive. I mean, they could learn tomorrow. They got all the time in the world. The point is, working in education isn't secure because you won't have a constant rotation of students. 3. Still, food isn't a necessity. You know people are gonna go ahead and save a buck where they can. There's no threat to not eating or drinking. It just all falls back on adding to the lack of drive. 4. Not what I meant. I saw rule 5. As in people who want to die will die. There will be nobody to replace them and humanity will be on a constant decline. Hence the whole no means. As you can't replace the dead. The old will stay old. The weak will stay weak. --- CE in a nutshell: https://imgtc.com/i/ApLTn8w.gif <cite>SailorGoon posted [p:908262305] in Scenario: ...

SailorGoon 09/06/18 11:08:30 PM #35:	Also, you said immortal. Not invincible. One could force death upon someone by making them wish they were dead through torture, starvation, a captive forced solitude, mutilation, etc... People aren't going to tank the pain of getting, shot, stabbed, mutilated. They'll probably be in a state where they'll do whatever they can to escape the pain. --- CE in a nutshell: https://imgtc.com/i/ApLTn8w.gif <cite>SailorGoon posted [p:908262993] in Scenario: ...
