I personally hope to be with my family a bit longer we never know.

Re: death and Immortality
I think we should all talk about our deaths and what we would like to happen, because I think it would be good, for those who are left behind, to know our wishes.When I was 26 my dad, aged 56, died from a heart attack and I refused a post mortem because i didn't want them to cut him up. It was an emotional time but, on reflection, I often wonder if he would have liked to donate any organs, because he gave blood for most of his life. If we had talked more about what he wanted, after death, I would have known I had done what he wanted rather than what I wanted.

Re: death and Immortality
We all think or hope death is a few years away but as said, you never know what's around the corner. Probably the number 3 bus or a lorry while I'm out on the bike in my case.I think lots of us strive for immortality by looking after ourselves. The sad fact is though, no matter how well we look after our bodies, we will still die. We might ask ourselves "Why me!?" when the time comes. After all, we never did anything we considered was bad for us and indeed, did lots that is supposed to be good. It must come as an unjust surprise when the time comes for checking out.
It maybe doesn't matter what we do or don't do. We're all on life's conveyor belt and we will all drop off the end eventually. Not sure it matters when because mostly, we won't wan't to go at any age and might always feel that we should have had just another hour, day, week or few years.
Anyway, this is all a bit deep for me. It seems a bit like one of those subjects Victor Meldrew might mull over. I think I'll go and make a cup of coffee, then sit out in the garden for a while and contemplate my navel.
