I asked my mom this question, and she said she'd be an Elf. Her reasoning was that she already knows how to be human, so it would be interesting to experience soething new for a change. It wasn't easy to get that straightforward answer out of her. She said that:
1) We are not Halfelven to decide that
2) We don't know how the Halfelven feel and live, and we can't really decide without knowing that
3) We don't know how Elves live - maybe they are actually miserable about their lives
4) We are humans, but humans in ME could be a totally different thing, and we can't make decisions based on that or judge their lives by our lives
5) I'm pondering about unexisting questions of an unexisting world, when I have plenty "real" things to think about
In the end, she decided on
Elf, though.
I guess I'm just gonna have to avoid Tolkien discussions with her for a while...
