I'd rather not live that long myself. I don't understand this obsession with extending life. The world is overpopulated as it is without extending everyones life by 11.
Interesting link though.

I find it hard enough to drag myself through until Friday every week. I can't see me coming up with a millennia's worth of reasons to keep going.

hmm, it would be nice to stay youthful forever, but to not be able to die through old age seems, well kinda odd.

I think, as a very timid and bored person, it would take me at least 600 years to do the things on my to-do list anyway. And those things are: ride a roller coaster and go to the Aegean Sea.

We will still die, of course - from crossing the road carelessly, being bitten by snakes, catching a new flu variant etcetera - but not in the drawn-out way in which most of us die at present.

And remember, none of that time would be lived in frailty and debility and dependence - you would be youthful, both physically and mentally, right up to the day you mis-time the speed of that oncoming lorry.

Well I really don't understand not wanting to not die, not wanting to live the longest life possible. It boggles my mind.

When I used to frequent a goth/ biker pub about, ooooh, 100 years ago, several times I could've died as a direct result of snakebites.
