No I don't think that I could. knowing that the loss of so many lives was responsible for making me live forever would be a horrible feeling to have to live with. Plus I wouldn't want to live forever in the first place, so there would be no point in taking the drug.

The only issue is that a knife cuts both ways! Whose to say the same meted at the victim's during serum extraction won't apply to me? Only that for me would be worse because I will then be immortal!

Never. I don't want anything obtained by torturing people.

I have no wish to live forever. It would also be morally and ethically repugnant to me to prolong my life based on something that killed many. Nothing could make up for the evil that made this treatment possible. What could you do if you changed your mind? I'd prefer to die than regret taking this treatment and not being able to move on.

No. I'd rather not be immortal at all. I've never wished to to begin with. I don't think my own life is worth the lives of all those who were sacrificed.
