While on a first officer flown visual approach to 16 left at DEN; there was another aircraft on approach to 16 right at the same time. Somewhere around 2500 AGL we got an Resolution Advisory (RA) to climb due to conflict. We had the other aircraft in sight and decided that climbing would make the situation more unsafe because it was slightly behind and higher than us. We elected to continue the approach because climbing was more unsafe than staying on the glidepath and breaking out to the left would send us across the approach corridor for the other runways. We got the RA 3 times total while flying down final. Each time it said to climb and each time the other aircraft was slightly behind and higher than ours. The aircraft was then landed on 16 left uneventfully.
A B737 First Officer; pilot flying; for a visual approach to Runway 16L at DEN; experienced repeated TCAS RA's with respect to another aircraft flying a visual approach to 16R slight above and behind them.
