You can compare plants to humans, but for the sack of argument, there are also some fish and turtles that seem to have negligible senescence. If we as humans could also enjoy this, here are some points to consider:
1)economically, much less money would be spent on the elderly, and much less effort
2)earths human capacity increases drastically every year and the birthrate goes lower. Overpopulation is very overrated and as china did, policies will always be implemented that controls these factors

I agree with you, there might very well be no reason for our existence, but why does that matter? We genetically can feel happy or sad and can have a will to survive or not. Those people who wish to enjoy life longer can choose to do so and those who deny taking anti aging treatments don't have to.
If its a question of should we live forever, I would say those who choose to can. If its a good thing, well there are arguments for both sides.

Oh piss off MsManjuEm. I made that comment ages ago. Go bore somebody else with your inability to extrapolate.

You're comparing humans to plants? Really?
Sorry, but that doesn't work. Find a better example.

Since humans are the ones to run around and assign meanings, then yes, life and the cosmos will no longer have a meaning. But will that negatively impact them? Well since they are not solid, thinking entities I think they can survive without a forcefully assigned purpose. They won't feel lost and empty, wondering why they were created. They will just exist as they always have, humans or no humans.
Sorry, but we're not that important.
