An eternity would be far too painful. Yes, there's always more to learn, but to what end? Your family and friends all die off after 80-100 years and you're alone. Make more friends, why? To watch them all die too?

The conecept of eternal life seems initially like a great boon, but the more one considers the less appealing it is. For me, anyway.
