Yes. Yes I do. I would love nothing more than to live a life of 200, 300, or more years. I find life interesting and there are lots of things I might like to try that one lifetime won’t afford me. Apparently so do several other people, and the subject is becoming a hot topic.
Technology Review ran an article last month about Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey, who has a plan on how to execute the necessary research to get the job done. And he’s not the only one who thinks its possible, Ray Kurzweil believes that we will achieve immortality within 20 years. There are of course a few people that think he’s off the mark, but I’ll take it ±20 years.
Dr. Ben Bova also put in his 2¢ a couple years ago with his book Immortality: How Science Is Extending Your Life Span and Changing the World
I look forward to the possibility of living so long, but its going to be a hell of a ride when trying to work out the social implications . You can’t exactly retire at 65 if you live for a couple hundred years.
