Live to 100 years old
Joan M19-Dec-21
As of 2020 the global life expectancy is 72.63 years.
If you are given a chance to live to 100 years old, how do you wish to spent it? What will you do from today?

    God i would only want to live that long if i had my sight, wits, and some mobility. And Earth is still in a decent shape so we aren't living underground.

        Born in 1956...I have spent most of my life living either on the curve or ahead of the curve of technology...its like a wave...I was a "techno-surfer"...the last 20 years I have increasingly lost interest...and also become highly suspect of "advances"...the real problem is...am I becoming exactly like every other generations of people?..who just liked it better the way it was?.....I don't entirely think so.....there are things now that I don't like or trust...that didn't exist before...that are growing without any sensible control or regulation...we generate massive garbage levels while we try and stop it...we create massive pollution without apology...and try and control it..the list goes on...smart phones etc....part of me wants to see the good bits...part of me says..what is really the point... I have recently got oddly complacent about dying...what a mess we are creating...what is the point of being here... ...it breaks my heart sometimes... What a waste...we are a disgusting species...it makes me so sad

          My dad lived until 6 weeks off 100. He would have lived longer if it wasn't for other people's doing. Me, If I live that long I'll be happy to open my eyes each day as long as I'm not in a nursing home, period.

            All our cowardly world leaders, who still do nothing worthwhile about climate change should be all made to live till they are at LEAST 200 years old... to see the world that they have created....and live through it...they will all be allowed to slink off somewhere and die in a corner....like rats... leaving the problem to someone else ...worthless scum

                It's quite possible I will live to this age and provided I am still happy and mentally and physically capable to enjoy life then that's exactly what I will do.

                  I know so won’t make it to 100, I have a lot of medical issues as it is. I think I will be lucky to make it to 60 to be honest. I think I got a few more years to go yet, I at least want to see my 3 sons reach adulthood

                      Do I get the option to turn down the chance? I really do not want, or need, to live to 100, thank you.

                                As long as mind, body are intact and healthy I guess some people would like to live that long I have no wish to .. I have an aunt who will 103 early next year and still lives in her own home, mind as bright as ever body not so much with age

                                    My great grandfather lived until he was 99 So there’s a good chance l will that long also. I’m just wonder if we will get to carbon zero And if Covid will be over by then?

                                            Providing I'm healthy and of sound mind would love to live to 100 to see what the future brings for my grandchildren as it is a worry now. I hopefully could continue to travel providing safely.

                                                      No because I don't want to see the world in a mess and it is and getting worse. With China and Russia puffing up their chests and try to dominate the world No thanks. If WW3 happens I want out of here even if I have to take my own life at some stage, no hanging around to see what happens next for me. I will not be a prisoner for any thing. They can have what ever I leave and it won't be pleasant for them either. Get ready because it could happen sooner than we may think. I have my plans already, and I know which way I am going.

It's not until you get close you realise you haven't done everything you want to do in life. We are both healthy in body and mind so we are still able to do lots of things. Well we will start again once we start learning to live with this blessed COVID as we learnt to live with polio, smallpox and diphtheria. Once we had all been vaccinated against these awful things life went on. Not sure what all the fuss is about this vaccine but we've had ours as we want to live a life a bit more.

                                                                                                                        I guess it would depend on the quality of life. I have seen many of my immediate family become terminally ill and struggle to stay alive as long as possible. I am in my 70's, not 100% healthy but I want to hang in here as long as possible.

Sinclair, published in 2019. He writes about how to increase our HEALTHY lifespan - because nobody wants to live past 100 if they're going to be in a nursing home from age 80. He has a clinic at Harvard & one at UNSW & offers great advice, all scientifically backed. I highly recommend it!

I would get degrees in aerospace engineering,electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software engineering it would help put me on the list for the first instellar first space flight - for volunteers (JUST a nice DREAM on my part - UNFORTUNATELY it will not happen in my lifetime - I don't think homo sapiens will EVER invent instellar space flight - we are already doom too an ugly death on this planet (at this moment - we are already killing each other based on skin pigmentation) . Hopeful, the final days of homo sapiens reign on this planet will not happen during my lifetime :-).

I would like to live to 100 if I can do it and be healthy and able to get around. I would be happy to spend my life doing what I currently do as much as possible.
