I wouldn't change a thing. What could you do with an extra fifty or hundred years that you couldn't do with the ones you already have? I mean, what's stopping you? Don't get me wrong; there's absolutely nothing wrong with more of the same. But if you end up changing how you live your life based on whether you expect to live to 80 or 150, Why weren't you living that way in the first place? I don't plan my life that far in advance; that's the freedom that makes life worth living in the first place.

WOW! You've thought about this before, haven't you?

Seriously, fantastic video!

I think living that long could change the way people treat life. Even now there is a very diffrent attitude between my mother and my grand mothers generations. My grand mother never expected really to live past 75 and treats every day like a gift an exciting adventure. She's usually pretty relaxed and happy to learn new things. My mother is well into her 50s but has no notion of old age, she plans as if she will be fit and healthy for another 50, accumulates assets and can't even concive of the idea of retirement yet, on the other hand she is very inflexible and doesn't like learning new things. Although she rarely has to be cause her generation dominates the culture.

I think that prolonging the life is brilliant, in fact I have investigated in this respect, and there are several options that could be viable short term, to be implemented.
