That would mean that you'd be invincible and immortal, I think. Given the choice above, if you chose immortal, then your life span could not naturally end without help from external forces. I'd go immortal just to see how society evolved (also I'm jonesing for a flying car), and when the sun exploded, I'd happily go, too.Redingold said:
Poll:Immortality or Invincibility

You can be a superhero with invincibility. Wading into heavy gunfire without fear would be awesome, and something you cant quite do with immortality (or your definition of it).
Invincibility. Because living forever is a burden and if I were invincible I could wouldn't feel the pains of old age.
People say immorality would be boring, but I believe eventually invincibility would be come just as boring.
Certain things in life are only exciting because they are dangerous. If they no longer pose a threat to you, then they won't be as thrilling. Jumping off cliffs and absorbing bullets will get boring at some point.
You still get bored with immortality, but at least something might come along in the future that eases your boredom.

Immortal. Just because I like to be able to tell people about stuff happened today a hundred years from now.
I could be my own history book

well rather than let people catch on to your immortality you move to an area at say 23. then feign death at 36, maybe 49 or so if you have kids. the downside is that you have to be able to emotionally detatch yourself from every relationship you ever have. or you can just go around having one night stands or whatever else you want to do. of course if you have more of a conspiracy mindset. reveal yourself to the government and try to secure a permanent role as presidential advisor. the possibilities are endless for immortality, just like your life.
Immortality, I want to see the technology that will be bred. Plus, if I get bored or don't want to see the road humanity chose to go down I can always shoot myself.

Actually, invincibility means you cannot be overcome or defeated. It doesn't mean you can't be hurt, but that nothing ever gets the chance to harm you. You could fight an army of Chuck Norris clone while fighting off AIDS and win. But, you could for example still commit suicide.
What you're thinking of is invulnerabilty.
I'd still go with that though. Who wants to live forever?

If I was more of an intellectual type I would chose immortality. But for the fun factor, invincibility is my choice. Jump off buildings, to extreme stuff without any experience, ect.
I guess I didn't read it well enough, seem that what he's asking isn't really about invinciblity or immortality but rather if you'd want to die a natural or unnatural death.crudus said:
