I Shirley am serious. Both the future biologic and genetic advancement is accounted for at birth. Disbeliever......

 

I "believe" in what can be proven. Everything else is assigned varying degrees of probability.

You can completely stop aging altogether, with one of these things:

Ahem! Usually, at about this juncture somebody steps up to mention that they don't want to live forever..... (gods plan, etc)

Which I usually point out is an opinion that will naturally take care of itself..... 🤔

Well I'm 71 with all of the acompanying aches and pains! But! I would like to live long enough to see the release of Star Citizens's Squadron 42, so an extra 100 years or so.................... Please  🤪

When it's your time.... It's your time. No sooner, no later.

Damned profound, if I do say so myself.🤣

I want to live to 103.  My Mom told me (I was too young to recall myself) that we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge on the day it opened. I was 3 years old at the time.  I'm sure I didn't walk all they wat across it.  I was probably being carried or in a stroller.  I would like to be there on it's 100th anniversary.  I think I might have a shot if I can avoid being shot over the next 15 years.

I would have loved to have reversed aging on my dog.  He was a cool customer.

I read a sci-fi novel (Cant remember the name) where longevity was a given, even for pets. Normal family groupings included hale and hearty parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc.

All just as part of everyday life for an interstellar humanity.

When you are born there are two numbers attached to your name. The date you will die and your lowest golf handicap. And there is nothing you can to to change either of them.

I thought you were going to say there’s two things you can’t avoid once you’re born, death and taxes.

I dunno about the tax part. Some folks do a pretty good job of not paying any.

You have to have a ton of money before you can get out of paying any taxes.

You'll probably have to have to have a ton of money to live to be 200...

Maybe not. Its bound to be a sought after medical technology. As medical technology advances it should become cheaper and cheaper. The research David Sinclair is doing doesn't suggest that the technology will be highly expensive. Looks like it will be as simple as popping a pill or two.

I'd like to respond to that but I'm afraid the response would be blocked.
