Would any of you want to live forever?

It's for an essay question

I absolutely want to live forever, and I wish every person I love felt the same way.

Explanation:

1. A paradoxical slowing of the population growth rate because people who live longer start having children later, enough later dampen the exponential effect of having children far more than the linear affect of not dying adds to the population.

2. Vast increase in productivity and wealth. Right now we have to acquire excess over our 40 productive years so we can survive our 20 declining ones. Imagine not having to store away the excess, not to be in the 20 year expensive declining phase. Huge free up in economics.

3. Right now war remains a reasonable choice when the risk is only 30 or so productive years of life. When it's 100s of productive years, few will want to take that risk.

I understand why others don't want to live forever. They have been conditioned to see it as hubris, as tied to evil, and as somehow a tradeoff against humanity. But these were stories. If you go back in your past and examine the stories you'll realize they were done by people with little interest in really understanding how these things would play out, just an interest in getting you scared enough to buy the book or movie ticket.
