Quote from: "laetusatheos"Is this under the assumption of good emotional and physical health?  

I'm known, and heard of a lot, of older people who were simply ready to die by the time they reached the late 70s range.  But of those emotional and physical health seemed to be playing a huge role.

If I could be immorally healthy, both physically and mentally, I think I would not ever reach a point where I was ready to die.  If you are ready to die that would mean that life is no longer something to be enjoyed.  If you are not lacking in physical or mental health then there would be no reason to be tired of it all.

If phyiscial and mental health would decline in a normal fashion....I'm not sure I'd want to live much past 100.  And only that long because I'm a bit stubborn.

This is my opinion too

I'm not sure how long i'd choose to live.

The movie Death Becomes Her comes to mind. As soon as people would grow suspicious since i never aged, or aged more slowly, i would have to go into hiding. That would be TONS of pressure on me to make as much money as i could to sustain me. Or i would have to create an illegal drug ring to supply me with a constant stream of good money.

but, putting that aside, i'd like to live a good 250 years. Just to be able to see the difference in technology. I mean just think of those who are 100 years old. They saw technology go from a steam locomotive to the computer i'm using right now. Awesome. I'd like to see how flying cars are made.

I don't wanna go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end

Actually I think I'd like to be around for the collision with the Andromeda galaxy. What a show that's gonna be, eh? Although I guess once it got close enough, we might not see much of a difference in the night sky.

Does that sound right?

...So you are optimistic about humanity EVER having efficient means of intergalactic travel? Or for that matter an efficient way to travel within this galaxy?

It depends....

If atleast most of the conditions were favourable - for eternity - I'd want to live forever.

If they weren't it would be  very very very hard to put a number on how long...I would have NO idea...too many variables...

But like I said if atleast most of the conditions were favourable - for eternity - I'd want to live forever. Not sure if that's a number...

And I don't mean 99% of the conditons being favorable but then possibly 1% being unbearable...I mean if atleast MOST of the conditons being favourable, then the rest being atleast bearable - to be more specific.

I saw a movie a couple years back where a man was moving on from his job and life, because he lived forever. He made a practise of moving on every 10 years or so when others realised he wasent aging. This group he decided to come out to were all college proffesors being an intelligent group they proceeded to prod and question him. It was a good movie, very low budget, but really thought provoking on what it is to be human. I for the life of me can't remember the title. For me anyway I'd live forever all I'd see, and learn, and do. An eternity of knowlege to receive and change to observe. Thats the only thing I envy religin the eternity they think they receive.
