1000 years old?

[Klash]

"...the next 10 or 20 years science will have advanced sufficiently to allow people to live for, say, 150 or 200 years. And then by the time those people turn 200, science will have figured out how to allow them to live to 500. It is not that the battle against aging will be over shortly, but that there will be enough steady progress so that we can all live forever."

Despite the fact if you think it is possible - would you want to live for a 1000 years, if you had the option?

Oh yeah! In response to my own question. I'd live for as long as my body would let me. Hell in a 1000 years they could download my consciousness into a cloned body!

i think they will prob be able to regenerate tissue and skin in prob then next 10-15yrs. So if you are over 70 you will look like a newborn babe.

Well she wouldn't be fat - stimulating the immune system to attack unwanted cells is a step in the "curing" aging process.
That makes me think we'd have to find a cure for std's, I don't think it would take long for eveyone to have all of them living that long!

Re: 1000 years old?

Hell no, I would not want to live to be 1,000 years old. 100 would be tops. I don't care if science 'could' promise a healthy way of life either. 100 years is long enough for this lifetime. IMO

If we could all look (and "perform") like 20 somethings forever, I'm in.
