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.

Well, humans are destructive, vindictive and territorial. I doubt we could ever live completely in peace. As for the life-saving treatments for all terrible diseases, yes, I would love that... but we have to sort out the problem of over-population because right now, nature is trying to get rid of the destructive virus - us - that is killing the planet and we're taking every step we can to counter that. Consequently we're all living longer and occupying the earth longer while the birth rate is still climbing. It's a bleak look into the future.

I'd like to be able to hibernate, nice long sleep for a few days or months whenever I feel like it

if they don't cure ageing i hope i die a swift painless death from some freak accident around 40 or so. i see my dad struggling to walk from really severe rheumatoid arthritis, i saw my grandad slowly suffocate to death from pulmonary fibrosis (a consequence of his RA, something i'm probably gonna end up getting - seems it runs in the family!). i don't want any of that in my future. i want to die healthy and happy and skinny and pain free!

Well aubreys obviously had a head start.

Living over a hundred or so years isn't really a good thing.

A good and more "realistic" version of this might be if someone had a normal/slightly extended lifespan, and physically aged at like 1/10 of what they would normally, so they'd just appear to be middle aged at 80, but could still possibly die ... if that makes sense?
