Is this a good or a bad thing, how long would people like to live? id imagine it would get boring after the first 200 hundred years

Liam Gallagher would like to live forever.

Eve_Dublin · 01-01-2011 4:03pm

I decided this morning I want to live ´till I´m 90 but with my genes, I´ll probably be dead in 10. Oh well! Good while it lasted.

TeddyTedson · 01-01-2011 4:05pm

I'd love to live forever. But only if everyone else was doing it too.

Superbus · 01-01-2011 4:05pm

I'd like to skip ahead in to the future, Futurama style. Having to live through all those years would be mind-numbingly dull though, I'd say.

RVD420 · 01-01-2011 4:07pm

It would be a disaster imo. Planet would get over-populted in no time at all. And I wouldn't fancy seeing the people I care about, who didn't go for this, die off one by one.

People who are don't really have much to say, do they?

Larianne · 01-01-2011 4:20pm

I had a discussion about this a few months back.

Would your brain be able to take living for 200 years? Would it be able to deal with the stresses and strain of life for a longer period of time? Or would you have less stress?

Regarding being bored - I guess it gives you a chance to do all the things you might want to do in life but never get round to. Say you'd like to be a farmer. You'd try that for a few years and see how you get on. Get bored of that, then you go off and train to be something else or go travelling or be a bum for a while. Keep repeating that cycle..

But again, would the human brain be able to take that?

Sea Sharp · 01-01-2011 4:20pm

I'd be happy if I make it to the year 2100, then after that the senile 120s would kick in.
Imagine riding someone who's young enough to be your great great grand daughter. :pac:

AnneElizabeth · 01-01-2011 4:35pm

I'd rather be young for a long time and then die.

I would like to die at 66 years old, any older and you're basically just p!ssing and sh!tting yourself - No quality of life

kerryman12 · 01-01-2011 4:40pm

My grandfather died 1 week before his 98th Birthday. Up until he was approximately 92 he still drove, went to the supermarket (by himself) and did the weekly shop and p1ssed and sh1tted when he felt the need in his own toilet. The same man didn't retire from work until he was 71 and never worked a day in his life in an office based job.

So I seriously don't know where you are getting this 66 and you're a mess of a human bullsh1t from

We don't know until we try it. Since we're posting here we clearly haven't tried it, so therefore we won't know conclusively until we're dead.

I know a good few people who have tried it, and have yet to meet up with them in this world again.

thats proof enough for me right now.

Nothing too unbelievable, ageing is another accident of evolution as is the human body itself, and many credible sources are now suggesting that by the 2020s we will be able to halt ageing using stem cells, biotechnology, RNA interference, and later on with nanotechnology. And of course it is a good thing, what good is there in death? Sure you might say now that you'd hate to live that long, but if you were 199 years of age would you really think along the same lines, if you had perhaps a few months to live?

How is that proof? Perhaps they are on a different plane of existence or a different dimension? Or maybe they're just decomposing back into the earth who knows? So until we die we won't know. Does death mean the end of everything? Or is it merely the passing into a different state of existence? This is a question humanity has and will always continue to ponder. If you know the answer for sure? You better patent it quick because you're sitting on a gold mine. Me? Well I haven't got a clue.

Jesus Wept · 01-01-2011 7:10pm

It won't be allowed to happen unless people are capable of continuing to work.
Perhaps available only to the very rich.

can I draw ur attention to post #23.

I am not talking about the after life or what ever, just dead people co habiting in this one.

I am not sure a patent on this would stand up in court

My posts have been talking about what might or might not happen after death. I wasn't talking about this current life or existence, but what happens after when we die. So we've crossed wires I think. The quest for immortality maybe be irrelevant though, if we do 'exist' after death.
