Being on a plane can be rather boring and I didn’t have a good movie to watch, so my mind started to wander. Then I remembered that thread with @icedquinn and @realcaseyrollins (and maybe others, I don’t remember) where they discussed someone comparing dying from C00F to picking poisoned skittles out of a bag

I know this metaphor is entirely incorrect for a great plethora of reasons, yet my brain came up with a bit related but different thought experiment

Imagine for a second, that after a scientific breakthrough the cure for aging was discovered. You are presented with a pill. If you take it, there is a 50% chance you stop aging and remain at your current condition, quite possibly for eternity. Accidents and diseases can still kill you, but other than that, you’re in for a long long ride.
The catch is, in the other 50% you die that instance and shit your pants in the process (just for lulz )

Would you take this pill? Disregard the possibility of more breakthroughs that can decrease this little negative side effect. You have to make this choice here and now.

While at this, what would be the maximum acceptable for you risk of instant death in a thought experiment like this? If you say zero, you are a pussy.

As always with fun stuff like this, boosting is welcome

@newt @icedquinn @realcaseyrollins
First: i would sit on toalet before taking the pill (just to be safe)

Second: It might be worth waiting a few yers before I take the pill. 1st, because that way I lower the loss. 2nd because it's better to be an older immortal with ocassional muscule pain, then a youngie immortal that still does not have a hardened face.
