I was going to say yes, but now I'm not sure. I dislike the idea of growing slower. As in, being 1 year old for ten years. How would that even work? Who would look after me? And you mentioned a ten year old having the wisdom of a 100 year old, how could they when they're brain isn't fully developed yet? Also, what if I get some sort of illness, and have to live 300 years like a person 70-90 year old, in pain.
Other than that, I would like to have more time. I'm not sure if I would do that, though.
That's only assuming if you get an illness which is always possible but lets just say you live your life without an illness to come and you're not in any sort of pain as a 70+ year old and you die peacefully. But I can see that you wouldn't exactly have the wisdom of a 100 year old by the time you're 10, but that doesn't mean you can't gain it so extraordinarily because after so many years it's bound to come, it just means it would be limited because your brain wouldn't be developed, but you'd certainly be more than leagues ahead of every other 10 year old because you'd have much more time to learn and come to know the world. But I guess you'd really only start learning effectively after you're not a baby anymore which is probably a good decade or two.
If you could extend your life 10x, would you do it?
