Probably, if you're spending time thinking about the possibilities and consequences.
I challenge your statement though, and suspect you've got a near-far conflict in your wants. Unless you state the conditions under which you'll want to die, and think those conditions are inevitable or desirable, you want to live forever.
I predict you'll always want to live for at least another few years, and only induction failure is making you say you don't want to live forever.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
