I voted other.... because.....
I would like to be uploading into a computer or find some other way of living forever.
Or at least until 2100 when I will be 145:

If I am still alive when I am 80 in 2035, life expectancy could be going up a rate faster than
we age and virtual immortality could be a possibility:

Yeah, I'd like to be frozen in case they find a way to bring me back.

Well, traditionally, the idea is to freeze someone after she or he dies;
it would make more sense to do that before death.
I think once you're dead you're dead, after a certain amount of time.
I know it's possible to die for a short amount of time and be resusitated, but
I don't know if it's possible to be resusitated if you are frozen for a number of years.

Oh, actually "indefinate" is more accurate than "immortal":

Life expectancy at birth was only 31 in the early twentieth century.
By 2050 it should be much higher than it is now.
