1000? hell no.
It will get really boring. What can surprise you after the age of 100? how much would you actually care?

..so ‘I recall back in the day’...would become..’crikey, I can’t recall that far back, that was 900 years ago..’...it would be like those time travel movies...(..unless it was available to all..)...in having to feel the emotional pain of losing so many people that you loved...emotional pain is a huge thing of ‘aging’ as well, I think...so it would be ‘fighting’ that also....and it would be hard../...well impossible maybe...to plan for the future financially etc...when the future would be so endless...interesting though, if it were possible for all....

No, what would happen to the Circle of Life (an not just the Elton John song ), people being kept alive because of medical advancements is part of the problem we have at the moment, average life expectancy has gone up and while I am glad it is no longer 47 or something ridiculous like that I think mid 80s is about right

I think pensions would be an interesting one, we couldn't really have people working for 70 years then retiring for 900 maybe it would be something where you'd have 70 on and 30 off every century you're alive

Hmm, probably. But then if everyone worked an extra few hundred years before retiring we'd have more NHS workers so it might even out

But how nice would a 950 year Capital Repayment mortgage be Ammi?

Those billion year contracts that some Scientologists are forced to sign might actually mean something now...

Human beings were not designed to live that long for a reason - with a lack of sufficient resources such as food etc a major factor. It isn’t meant to be and would cause far more problems for the world and the human race. |

I'm usually very perceptive with this kind of thing, but I did not know that.
I do now. Thanks.

It would be a bad thing. We're already overpopulated and struggling to feed and house people. Imagine what it'll be like in 100 years when the whole works is like a shanty town. Add to that people living forever.... sounds like hell on earth.

Yes,sadly I think so Kirk, I think the co-existence of all mankind is more unlikely than colonizing other worlds, I think we will eventually destroy this planet and probably take ourselves with it. We have polluted the air and the seas,we have killed animals so much so some of them are on the brink of extinction ,we dabble with mother nature too much and I am leaning towards the thought of there may already be a cure for cancer,but not quite convinced yet.I don't think I would want to live indefinitely.
