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.

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 05:05PM

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

Superbus · 01-01-2011 05:05PM

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.

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?

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?

no not yet,

when was the last time u met one on the street and had a chat ?

Sea Sharp · 01-01-2011 05:20PM

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:

I also haven't had an elf or pixie talk to me, do you believe they might be true too?

AnneElizabeth · 01-01-2011 05:35PM

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

Not in this world. No.

Oranage2 · 01-01-2011 05:37PM

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
