Whether the Earth is still here in 150 years' time is a different matter.....

Yes and his name is Keith Richards.




What would even be the point? You probably wouldn't be able to see or hear well, your muscles would have probably atrophied and your face would droop. If you were a man, you wouldn't be able to get it up, if you were a woman, your vag would be dry as a desert. What's the point of living that long if you can't even really enjoy life?









I've seen some pretty muscular, in-shape old people. I also know of a man who is over 80 and still works competently as a mechanical engineer.
I would definitely want to live that long. As long as I still had my mental faculties and reasonable physical health, it would be amazing.
I'm pretty sure by that point, sex would be the last thing on my mind.
Viagra also can make one blind and/or deaf...or "give one an erection that can last over four hours." Just sayin'.



If in our lifetimes science is able to extend life another 50-70 years it will be interesting to see how that affects society. Not to get overly political, but we're already seeing growing anger over the cost of social programs for retired people (Medicare, Social Security and much of Medicaid). Eventually it will come to to the point where there's tough choices on who can and cannot pay to keep living.
