Living Forever?

[Kev]

Would you want to live forever? Apparently scientists believe that someone alive 'today' could become the first person to live to 1000 years old if medical advances continue at their present rate.

nah, I would hate to watch everyone around me die whilst I just lived on and on and on...

Of course that was a 'ickle mistake, i meant a thousand (1000)

Maxie could make 2000 wiv a bowl of readybrek inside him

Nah, you'd see the world eventually and then be bored of the world and wouldn't be able to move on.

1000 might not be so bad, living too long nah.

Only your body dies anyway.

As for long life, I've read In most stories of Ancient times the long life stuff was to do with tuning of Crystals.

Problem Is Science and Magic won't mix and both have too many frauds In them.

What would be cool though Is that you could stay the way you are In your twenties until you die so you don't rott and go wrinkily over the years until you die and are In need of constant operations.

Exactly. What the jesus would a 1000 year old person look like? I'm no scientician and call me a sceptic but I don't believe they can make a person live for 1000 years in the next 80 or so years. Imagine how badly that would effect the population, loads of 800 year olds hobbling around, scientists say the world is only fit for around 3 billion (or less maybe) people anyway. Also imagine the families! You could have a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandad .

I'd like it though just out of human curiosity, what will liverpool be like in 500 years, will it be underwater like they say? I could see the whole world, the moon, other planets and watch as new discoveries are made, a cure for cancer, aids. On the other hand I could watch the extinction of thousands of species of animals, watch god knows how many wars, see and experience horrible things I wouldn't have done normally. And of course the ultimate discovery for the curious would be missed out on - what happens when you die. Personally I think we are just organisms which stop functioning and thats that - but I still want to know (even though I wouldn't 'know' if I'm right!).

What will Liverpool be like in 500 years time? Hopefully they'll have removed the old sunken landing stage and have got in place the new one!!
