People could live to 150 and beyond...and we could see it sooner than we think

Now this is great news but, do we want to live 150yrs? What long term consequences will it have on the world? Is Overpopulate and living forever really a good idea?


Ps. If they could have my dogs live another 20yrs in good health tho....

So why would I want to live that long? You have to eat like a real Vegetarian / Vegan / plus vitamins supplement / Plus exercises. to be walking and having an erection.
Most have this fantasy or magical feeling they will be 30 for ever.

Nobody wants to live to 100 except for 1 type of person.

A 99 year old.

Knowing Jeff Bezos is financing the researches, I would add to the list "People who have too much money to spend it in one lifetime". But still.

If they cannot guarantee a quality of life what is the point indeed. 75 yrs spent at the hospital. No way.

Isn't this just a modern day take on Hair in a Can"? The only difference is that once you realize you look like an asshole you can't wash it out.

I actually like it. I am not a fan of long hair on a men (Trudeau style) but I like a shaved men so why not..

And they'll probably have to work until they're 135 before they're able to afford to retire.

I don't see this world being a better place to live at any point in the future. I wouldn't want to be 20 years old today, and be looking at having to live another 50-70 years in a world that just keeps getting worse.

GTA & Thereabouts...
At 150 years old, would it be appropriate to be banging a 75 year old? :p

I don't know if I'd want to live that long... Certainly not as an old person. Youth + wisdom would be fantastic.

The person that figures out how to reverse liver damage to keep the population drinking booze will be the true hero.

Betcha they will not find a cure for male pattern baldness though.
No need. Male baldness will increasingly be the rage. Permanent depilatory and a periodic wax and buff instead of a haircut. Future solar panel applications...
