- ALittleLight 4y agoGenerally people aren't looking for immortality in the "evil magic curse" sense. They want immortality in the sense of being able to preserve your body and your mind in your prime indefinitely. A magic curse where you suffer forever is bad, but being healthy is good.

- raydiatian 4y agoNon-ending life (as you describe it) is terrifying. But non-ending life (in other more positive conceptions) is the literal basis of religions.
