How many years you wanna alive? In terms of life extension, what is reasonable to expect in the next few decades? How many years can we add to the average life?
classicboy: so how many years would be better for quality life then?
That depends. If I was to be in an accident tomorrow that left me brain injured and in a chronic vegetative state, that would be enough. If I am healthy and able to care for myself with my cognitive functions intact 80 or 100 would be fine.

well I've decided to follow George the turtle's life model...just move real slow and I should make it to 194 year old,give or take a few years...of course this is assuming I avoid an unwanted tragic event!!!

imforeal123: I cannot see a good quality of life at 100 plus
All depends on health........people are still working who are in their 90´s. We don´t have a choice in the matter......trouble occurs when one can´t accept the changes life produces. Personally, I have always said I will live until I am 105........let´s see

When you see me at your 105th birthday celebrations,you'll ask around."""Who is he???? Have i ever met him in my life?????"""

darkie23: I'd be happy to go when I'm 50yrs..as when you have no children or partner!!!!! whats the point
omg...........enjoy each moment!!!!!!!! hehehehehe...I remember when I was a teeenager and I thought 26 was old. Let me tellya.......as long as ya got health life is good........and even when things go wrong with yer health.....u can still get enjoyment....all depends on your outlook. My friend just died on Tuesday........he slipped and fell 4 years ago and was paralysed from then on. So for 4 years he has lain in a bed with a mind which still functioned. Not a QUALITY of life....but he didn´t wanna give up.

Of course I understand your point of view...but do you have children?? plus sorry to hear about your friend..never easy to loose a friend
when I'm too old to hold it up I'll just add an extra wheel either on the side or trike it. Gonna go out with my hand on the throttle (probably being chased by a jealous husband LOL). Ride it like ya stole it...
hoolet: Yeah..............One daughter........a lovely son-in-law and two very handsome grandsons. But what´s that gotta do with getting past 50????????
because thats something you have something to live for...family
