No, it wouldn't.
"Death has a dignity all its own"
I believe this 100%. At some point it is time to give up and just die.
I worked at a nursing home once and found it to be the closet thing to Hell on Earth I've seen. The minds are long dead and the bodies are barely alive, but we have to keep them alive because death is such a bad, bad thing.
I don't think death is really a bad thing. When it happens to the young before they get a chance to live life, then it is bad. Once you get older and have lived it becomes a very positive thing in my opinion. Something to look forward to like you look forward to going to bed at the end of a day.
I am not afraid of death. I feel it is often made to look like the most horrible thing ever when in many, many cases it is not.
I think I would have more trouble sleeping at night if I were to think I was going to live forever then having the knowledge that someday I will die and no longer have any worries or pain.

but, what if you had a chance to live forever on earth...
and things were still challenging and life was interesting all the time? And there were still always new things to learn and to experience? Would that change the way you feel about living forever?
