If you could extend your life 10x, would you do it?
I guess a better title is so it makes more sense: "If you could extend your life with science and technology to live for 1000 years, would you do it?" I didn't put that as the title because it was too long.
I guess what I mean by that is and how it would work, your aging process will slow down, and if your natural age is to live to say 100 years old, then with this new technology it will slow down your aging process 10x, making you live 1000 years. So really after living say 200 years you'd look and be as healthy as a 20 year old when technically you're 200 because you've been living that long. But you wouldn't have any weak bones, you wouldn't be suffering. You'd feel like a normal 20 year old. And after 300 years you'd feel like a 30 year old physically and look it too Would you do it?
I guess some people would do it for vanity reasons because most people want to stay young, and people say life is too short anyway, but I can somehow imagine it being a challenge living for so long. You might go crazy. But I'd like to be a very wise man living in a very young body. I'd have the experience and wisdom of a 100 year old by the time I'm physically 10. Imagine what that wisdom is capable of in another 100 years when you're physically 20, or what it's capable of after 300 years when you're 30. Does wisdom have a limit?
It would be interesting going for it just to see how much the world would change in 1000 years. Just think about what the world was like 1000 years ago, there was nothing like we have now, well imagine the technology and everything 1000 years later after this. If I would do it I would do it for that reason. Would you do it?
Yes I would do it | 55 | |
No I wouldn't do it | 26 |
