100 years working đŸ¥² That's a lot of men đŸ˜…
If you think that’s a lot… the next Conservative government may move retirement age to 900! Buy lube…

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....
Actually one of the biggest problems humanity will face in the future is not enough people.


I don't agree with everything Musk says but he is on point about this. Birth rates in the first world are in decline and even large developing countries like China are going to experience a rapid decline in population. In fact by the midway point of the 20th century only Africa countries are projected to experience population growth.

If they cannot guarantee a quality of life what is the point indeed. 75 yrs spent at the hospital. No way.
They clearly indicate that it would extend all periods of life. Basically you'd be a teenager till your 30 and by the time you hit 50 you'll only be say 30 biologically.

Have my doubts. With global warming, microplastics, pollution, threat of war,, fascist governments, etc. many not be much of a planet left in 50 years.

Extend but won't improve.

Also having a "terrible two" with your kids that last 10 yrs is not quality of life lol.

Canada will need to greatly increase Her population to pay off government debt. Any increase to life expectancy is bad news to pension funds.

That's been happening in movies and TV shows for years. Many of the high school students are in their late twenties. Rizzo from Rydell High in the movie Grease was 34 years old, and still in high school.
