I was just reading an article about a way life expectancy could be extended enormously, to well over 1000 years in humans.

With a way to almost cure ageing being theorised, would you like it to be done for you? Would you like your aging process to be reduced so that you could live until you were 3000 years old? What would you do with all that time on your hands?

I think this would certainly lead to the earth being way overcrowded, so it would have to be done selectively if it works. But it's really an interesting topic

I saw this on Richard and Judy about 2 years ago, I wouldn't like to live 3000 years, because it would be really boring.

lol most of the people would suicide before reaching that age, as saralk said it would be too boring it would reach a point where you would have no objective in your life.

Haha, especially if they committed murder or something and got sentenced to life imprisonment.

Imagine if Einstein had lived to be 3000 years old and had the knowledge we had today...

Not a chance, They'd raise the drinking and voting ages again....

lol all the possibilities of prolonging human life and wj brings up booze

I think it's crazy, we would get beond over crowding, it's messing with nature, we are meant to die, simple as, why fight it.

Minimum drinking age 360 year old

I hate it how scientists put time into research for eternal life. Put that time in cures for cancer and aids and let everybody die a natural cause.
