    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

    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

    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

    i would say its pretty conclusive.

    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'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:

    Fingers crossed.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    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 :D

    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.

    But seriously, no. You'd be old for most of your existence. No thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    A few hundred years would be good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Nope. I'd rather die and meet our absent friends.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    Nah! I wouldn't be able to handle getting close to someone and then having to watch them die, heart breaking.

    That's what the song 'Who wants to live forever' is really about.

    The full line is:

    "Who wants to live forever, when love must die."

    This world is full of disease, corruption, greed, envy, lies, deception, hunger, hardship, bills, debts, taxes, infidelity, calamities etc. etc...

    Do you really wanna remain in this cesspool forever?? Really??!



    I don't really mind how long I live. I just wanna die before I get to a stage where I start peeing and crapping my pants and have to start worrying about incontinence wear...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Nah: a hundred years or so in good health would be fine.

    Hey, if you mean eternal life in Heaven, then yes, I would! I don't think I'd like to live on Earth forever, though. I've only been alive for 39 years but that's long enough to know that I don't like the way the planet has been going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    If I could live for ever I'd work for 300 years straight and save it all and live forever on the interest with some investments.
