Would you like to live to 100?

Post Reply New Topic

It would be nice. Personally I imagine myself living to 125. Maybe a year or more older.
Anyone else?

By the time you get there, 125 might be the new 70. Then again, it probably won't be. No thanks.

I do need 42 1/2 more years to fulfill my dreams.

Absolutely not. I just want to live a satisfying life, and then gradually parachute myself down...
100? that's like rock climbing with no rewards

If I lived to be 100, I'll get a card signed by the Queen...although I doubt she'll still be around in 2090 so I will probably receive a card from whoever's next in line.

To what end?
Unless there are serious medical and scientific breakthroughs in the anti-ageing process then no thanks.

When seeing my grandma with vascular dementia, my mother who has severe fibromyalgia and me at age 30 already starting to feel my bones, 100 seems like hell.

No.

Hell to the No! Matter of fact, I’m ready to drop dead right now. As my late mother would always say about herself, “I’m already dead: I’m just too f!cking stupid to fall over!”

i'd punch out at 60 if i did everything i ever really wanted to do by then.

Not necessarily. My grandmother was taken by Alzheimer's at the age of 90 - a week before her 91st birthday, in fact - and I'd like to avoid a similar fate as best I can. If I should ever enter a similar state, I'd much rather die than suffer.

Why isn't euthanasia legal where I live?

No thanks, I don't want to feel this drained for another 66 years, that sounds like torture. I'm also not a fan of where society is currently heading, that is even more terrifying.

I think that life would get tiresome after about 85 or so, so I don't think so.

Only if I'm healthy, otherwise, no. I don't want to spend my life in a nursing home.

Only if my girlfriend lives to be that old. I'd have a very hard time finding another one with my issues & not having a lot of money & being very old on top of it.

If I had my health and my mind yes.I had an Uncle that lived to be 98,he smoked every day and ate everything cooked in bacon grease.Always has a big garden and loved to fish till the day he died.
