Dilemma 5/6/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. You become immortal, but no one else does.
2. Your child becomes immortal, but no one else does.

Prevent #1, I suppose, since (w/o a child to consider the fate of) that would just maintain the status quo.

I'm tempted to pick neither b/c I don't think immortality would be a blessing. But then both happen...

I think if I put it in these terms, I can pick: chose for myself or chose for someone else. I'll make a choice for myself (prevent #2) and I'll take the emotional pain of watching everyone else go rather than foist it on my child.
