I am not so sure if it really would be desirable to live forever. There are many books in literature which depict a scenario like that, and in most cases the hero is rather miserable and regards the eternal life on earth not as a reward but rather as a punishment, i.e. "All Men are Mortal" by Simone de Beauvoir.
