Since I was small boy born in 1973 and raised in the 80's, my personal goal was to live to see 2101. That way, I would live in three seperate centuries plus in living in two seperate millineiums.
I believe that medicine and higher quality of living should make it attainable. Just hope to have full control of the memory and ability to get around.
Those born in 1999 will have 26 years of youth to help them.

Why should we desire to spend so much effort trying to live longer?
Spend it trying to live better

My Grandmother died at the age of 102, alone in her one bedroom apartment, sitting in her armchair, with Bible in hand, waiting for my Mother and Sister to pick her up for Church. She was born in 1898, in Germany, and died in 2000, in Washington State.
I asked her once how she felt about having lived so long and having lived through so much history. She looked at me and her eyes misted up and she said, " I'm lonely a bit; I've outlived all of my friends. "

1994 I got a chance to see 2100

Scientists have said that the first person to live to be 200 is already born, and the first to reach 500 may be born only 50 years after.

Good luck getting past 12/21

So how long were you planning for someone to change your diaper and feed you before you die? I work in a old folks home BTW.

Then another baby boom will come.

Quality of life, which inlcudes meaningful relationships. If I outlived my wife and daughters, I'd spend a week in Vegas then go for a 72 hour marathon-bender on AH, which would certainly kill me. Go join my girls in a better place. That is how I would measure length of life. If that takes place when I'm 150 or 85, doesn't matter.

EDIT: While I hate this man's politics, I can't help but love this song. It brings the age old question of life and death to mind.

While I type this, I'm getting ready to go to a party celebrating one of my Wife's best girlfriend's victory over breast cancer. This clip reminds me of her and those like her.

We buried our aunt last weekend. She had a good run and her life is celebrated by the living that knew her.

Love life while you have it, for it can be gone in the blink of an eye.

I sure hope I dont because I have seen what happens when you get old and dependent upon other people. I dont want that so if I get to the point where the highlight of my day is what happens on Jeopardy or NCIS or whatever show there is I hope it ends soon.
