Would you live an endless life?

I was wondering the other day. Lets say there is a way from tomorrow to extend your life endlessly. You don't die of natural causes. You are not invincible, stepping in front of the train is stil a no-no. Would you consider living your life without expiration date, or would you stay on the course of the current natural trajectory of aging and eventually dieing?

Personally, it is a vexing thought for me. On one hand, it would be an oppurtinity like no other! I can live 5000 years before I get bored. I can see days which was completely out of touch before!

On the other hand, what if my loved ones doesn't pick the same path, and I see them wither away? And to add salt to the injury, as of today, every human lived their life with the eventual outcome, no escape. I don't think my psyche would be prepared to live multiple lifetimes, I would go crazy.

Obviously, it is only theoretical, but still...
