Imagine in a few years we invent the ability to stop the aging process for us humans. For simplicity, imagine it can by done with a simple injection.
You choose when you want your body to stop aging. Most would probably choose something around the age of 25 (if they are still young enough). But that's not important.
So you stopped aging, and became immortal in a sense that you are not going to die as long as you can maintain your body via energy input from the outside. You can still be killed. If someone cuts your head of, if you fall from a building, if you crash in your car... you're dead. But you won't die just by aging anymore. So, all of a sudden, your life expectancy changed from let's say 100 years, to now thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. Imagine all the knowledge that is suddenly in reach. All the inventions you are going to be a part of. All the things you can learn. All the epxeriences. All the science you are going to witness.
Would you change your current life/lifestyle?
Would you even go outside, risking death by stupid car accident or something similar?
What risks would you still accept?
