Do you want your body to outlive your brain or your brain to outlive your body?

I have some wisdom for you. They will piss it away as soon as thy can get you into the cold cold ground. Then they will hate you for not leaving them more.
Spend that shite before you die, And don't say it is not possible. I could make suggestions that would allow you to die happy and stone broke, having spent whatever you have on #1.

I dont care about a max age, but wish everyone got the same amount of time. I'm 32 and a classmate just passed this week from breast cancer. Shes been fighting it for years. So sad that her husband now doesn't have a wife, her parents are burying her, and she didn't have children. Incredibly sad.

There is very little respect for elders now.

With the way that shite is going now and is only likely to speed up, do you really want to be around in another 100 years?

Definitely too short..
I am 50 and still in my young adult stage!!

Some demographics this is a common occurrence. At a conservative rate of 15 years you can 7 generations in 90 years.

The elders thing is interesting because you’d have a mix of wisdom possessing sages but at this time we’d be having Civil War era people still trying to own people

We would have too many people on this earth. It would start a downward spiral of overused resources and billions of people would starve be to death

Lifespan is defined by number of heartbeats in you. Only have so many and how you use them determines your lifespan.
But cancer, autoimmune diseases, heart defects, or accidents are the exceptions to that rule. My opinion only, but it is a philosophy I see just through my family history prism.

I would like to see a longer lifespan but would want that extension to be with our bodies remaining in the 22-27 yr old range of health and vigor for much longer.

I knew 4 of mine. 5 were alive when I was born but I don’t remember my great grandmother on my dad’s side cause when I was about 3 yrs old she was sick and dying and always laid up in bed, don’t remember ever actually seeing her. I knew 3 of my great grandparents until I was 9, 11, and 20 years old. The one that passed when I was 20 was 99 a few weeks from turning 100

Economy and a money based society needs to be reworked anyway. No need for the basic cost of living to be as expensive as it is.

Too short.
Life is only too long when poor health factors in.
There's always something new to learn or do.

90 doesn't look bad. 110 would be my optimal. After working your arse off for 40 to 45 years, you would like time to enjoy your life a but more. Problem with life span increasing are the various health maladies that come with advanced age. While our age span has made a significant increase over the past couple of centuries, so has the onset of medical conditions we didn't deal with. That said, I am currently 65 and would love to live another 25 years as long as I am in good health and sound mind.

I think it would be more possible to have them age congruent with each other if people lived longer. All the scientists now working towards curing Alzheimer’s and such, as well as scientists working towards advances for stem cell treatments to cure bodily function ailments, would have a longer time to continue their research, and subsequently there would be scientists and researchers who in the past would die at 70, taking their mind with them, who would still be alive and able to work alongside more modern thinkers. Who knows what that kind of problems that collective scientific community of elders and young bright minds could solve.
