the thing I think is funny is that you have so many opinions about things you know nothing about... it really gets to me when people have opinions about things that they know nothing at all about.... you are what? at the most, 20.... and you don't know anything you are talking about. You can't truly know anything until you experience it... and you only have shown me that you don't know shit...

@roninblade7 I'm 22. If you wouldn't mind, could you point out exactly what you had a problem with? I'm well aware of how little I know. I'm concerned that you don't know how little I know that I know, and how little you yourself probably know. So, please, with all the wisdom you must have, would you mind pointing out my faults in detail?

@Did007z I don't think it's a compliment if you're telling me to shut up....

I don't think science should be trying to prolong life, there are other issues that are more prominent, sure, we manage to get people to live to the age of 350, but that is all irrelevant compared to what will happen when the Earth just dies, regardless of our age we'll die as well, if we spent the time that we'd theoretically spend trying to prolong age on, say, space travel. It would benefit mankind a whole lot more as a whole. I think so anyway (Even though it'd be bad-ass to live longer)

Point blank. The fewer years of life there are means that each year is more rare and more valuable. The globe isn't expanding, there isn't physically going to be more to explore if the life-span were lengthened. The amount of knowledge that could be learned would and is expanding far beyond our ability to learn it all, even in 300+ years. I say, just improve the overall human condition to its fullest height...and let me be health and ready for sex until a ripe old age.

"I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know anything like enough yet; that I haven’t understood enough; that I can’t know enough; that I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way." - I would want to learn as much as I could. Yes, I would eventually get bored, or go insane and kill myself after a few thousand years. I don't think my morals would change over time though. :P

No.... thank you.

Wouldn't want to live that long.

Traditionally, the idea behind the vampire, or any immortal earth dwelling being, is that immortality throws off the shackles of society and allows the monster within everyone to emerge.

[AcidReflux27]

people grow and change as they age.  Buddhism suggests this as a person reaches enlightenment. Enlightenment only comes with knowledge of ones self, and that comes through experience. This leads to something else you mentioned. perception is reality. Expanding life is only the first step. The next is space exploration, which will be affordable in 20 years thanks to the carbon fiber nano tube. After that will be terriforming of Mars. and since we live longer we will be able to see it happen.

@Brittanysofficial Honestly i don't think this person can since they only talk about how little you know, and not why. Yeah there's a limit to how much you can type, but im sure by now, about 5 months later, there should be something correct? :P

[DrRegnig]

@Brittanysofficial I doubt I could add much more than alienbanjopicker as I feel similar, I'm working on treatments or hopefully a cure for osteoarthritis currently though, which has a lot to do with age: Cellulite has a lot in common with osteoarthritis, well a lot more than you'd perhaps previously have thought I won't say any more on that though, either you'll want to know and find out yourself or you'll ask me and I'll feel wanted or something haha :) Peace.

[ThePurpleHarpoon]

I think it's a great idea to try to prolong life through scientific means.As long as there's enough food and drink for everyone, it would be great.

I think I'd choose to be 46 years old (my age now) because I know more now than I did yesterday, and I wouldn't wanna lose that.

What I'd do if there was no fear of dying is....erm...probably sit here and make lots of comments on youtube whilst drinking either tea or coffee, and the occasional glass of wine.

[Mulletboi86]

If I lived to be 300.... I would be constantly on the run from the govt and other private sectors and being made into a specieman to be used in ungodly told amounts of research and development.

[darkaquarose]

I think that prolonging life is a horrible idea, for more then one reason. If we live to, say 150, then the world would be waaaaaaay over populated, then we dont need that long to experence life! If you wanna do something before you get old its called a bucket list. Go do what ever you wanna do! Go skydive, wrie a book, jump off a bridge! Live your life to the fullest because eventually you won't be able to. (Don't jump off the bridge to die... thats a horrible idea) Dont prolong decrepedness!!!
