Do you want to live to be 100?

65-70: the right time to go.

Damn. You wanna go right after you reach retirement age? That's pretty young.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I wanna live to 108 so that I can live through three centuries. 20th, 21st and 22nd.

I've thought of that but in order for it to happen, I'd be 120 at death.

People that are 100 now have lived through some of the most poignant things in history. It's something to tell your kids. First two world wars, the invention of television, etc.

The major downside to me, other than the possibility of mental and physical deterioration, is that at 100 it would be entirely possible that you could end up burying your children who die at age 75.

Someone I know told me about an 80+ year old who attended the funeral of his 63 year old son.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I certainly want my kids to bury me, not the other way around.

I have great grandparents who were still walking around and conversing well into their late 90s, so it is possible. The older you get, the more your stance changes. Nobody wants to die unless they're just in agonizing pain.

I don't think I'm alone in saying that Alzheimers disease scares the (BLEEP!) out of me. If I got to the point where I couldn't remember my children, the year, or where I was living, I'm not sure I would want to live any more. I would never try to take my life but in that kind of situation, I might become ambivalent.

as long as i'm not hooked up to a machine, sure. think of everything that's happened in the past 100 years. living to see another 100 could be amazing. key words are: could be.

There is the possibility that in the year 2060, people are regularly living to 100 with sharp minds and decent mobility. If that is the case, I'd love it.

It'll be an ironic ending like The Mist. You tell your kids to pull the plug on you and the very next day they discover treatment for whatever you had.

 

[Gilpesh]

I don't want to live to be 100.

But I would want to live forever under these conditions:
-No health problems
-Frozen age
-An option to die whenever I felt like it

This.

What if the treatment is retroactive? Then when my kids would say, "Dad, you're alive!" I could say, "Yes, Sky Linx, and this time no force in the universe can stop me."

 

[SuperFerret]

The way I see it, the older I get, the more crap I can get away with. I'd just be crazy old SuperFerret.

 

[terry78]

You can grab women's unmentionables and people will just laugh it off.

 

[SuperFerret]

Not just laugh it off, it'd be considered downright adorable. I'd be an old perv and I'd be loved for it.

 

[Sawyer]

If there's one thing I'm looking forward to with old age, it's getting to be as much as an ***hole as I can be.

 

[-Arya-]

Not just laugh it off, it'd be considered downright adorable. I'd be an old perv and I'd be loved for it.

Im sure as hell looking forward to it.

 

[Sawyer]

I think I'll try being as much like Larry David as possible once I hit 50.
