No kidding! I'd just as soon as never have been born than to be limited to 75 or so years. I'm a slow mover. I need that long just to get past childhood.

I'm one of those that would rather not live into my nineties, really. I mean there are still good times now, but I'm not all that adventurous.

I imagine in a society where we've eliminated aging and disease, suicide would no longer be something considered tragic. It would probably be considered a logical step for those who have lived all they want. I think if anything, there would be enmity toward those who hang around "too long."

There's a movie and a star trek episode about planned death at a fixed age of 30 or 50 respectively

Kind of in a hurry, aren't you? I'm 54 and hoping for more. I don't want to die before I'm tired of living.

Don't tell the Tories, they'll use it as an excuse to never pay our pensions.

If we achieve immortality I predict the religious wingnuts will try to give God credit for it all.
But they never blame him for all the horrible diseases that make us mortal.
