Book of Questions #17

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

Rummaging around in my piles of books, I came across a little gem from a
decade or so ago, called "The Book of Questions" -- Anybody want to answer
this one below? Even if you only answer it to yourself, the questions are
intriguing and thought-provoking.  It's also fun to answer the same question
and then answer it again five years later, just to see if your answer has
changed much.  (And is there any interest in my posting other questions from
the book....)

QUESTION:
17.  Would you be willing to become extremely ugly physically if it meant
you would live for a thousand years at any physical age you chose?

	**Auxiliary question :  How much are you affected by a person's physical
appearance?  How would it change your life if something happened to make you
much less attractive than you are now?  Do you find anything disturbing
about immortality?  What age seems ideal to you?
