Life means nothing without death. If someone said to me "I can make it so you can live forever", i'd reject the offer. Things would become meaningless because there are no consequences. Life is meaningful to us because we realize that everyone dies at one point. I would hate to be a bug or monkey or something that doesn't realize that one say they will die. They will get sucked into the routine of life because it's habit and because they don't know any better.
You only get one chance at this life. There are no do overs as the person you are today, and to me that is special.
