As long as I can have sex the entire time I'm good. I'm pretty sure my wife is looking forward to death so she no longer has the memory of sex with me.

There are still people without clean water and voting rights, they won't be able to live forever. Once the wealthy immortals realize that the mortals were wasting so many of our resources with their short insignificant lives, the impending war and genocide will solve any population problems.

no way forever.... forget that.
If anything I'd like to negotiate a shorter term in a better body.
Like instead of living say 80 years but aging.. I'd be happy to sign up for 30 years of being somewhere between 24 and 28 and then dying peacefully in my sleep.
How do you have a retirement plan for "forever"... i'd have to keep working and working.. and working.
The only thing keeping me going sometimes is knowing that at some point I shouldn't have to work anymore

Seriously, if you could live forever (or at least substantially longer) based on the principles De Grey espouses, there would be a totally different concept of retirement.

And men's chances of getting laid go up exponentially between 20 and 30, because they start to look like men instead of boys. I'm thinking of all of us, buddy.

Some definitely are.
But for the VAST majority of women the peak is between 19 and 25.
There are VERY few women that look better when they are 30 than they did when they were 23

And there are very few of us men who look better to women of any age at 20 than at 30.

Your attractiveness would go up substantially in the eyes of the 20 year old if you had 100 years of making bank though.

You serious Clark? Why would you let something like that terrify you? If you believe there will be "nothingness", why worry?

Trivial. You think you see social segregation now? Wait till you see the caste system that develops around people who have been collecting compound interest for thousands of years. Every young hottie will be with a dinosaur, just to get her hands on his quintillions.
Having an end to one's existance isn't a very pleasant thought. It is so unpleasant most people choose to believe in superstitions rather than facing it.You serious Clark? Why would you let something like that terrify you? If you believe there will be "nothingness", why worry?

I can only speak from experience with Evangelical Christians, but the older folks Ive known that have passed away were genuinely peaceful and excited about the prospect of heaven. Sorry to get to religious here. Not trying to make an argument for or against. Just that personal belief in or not in an afterlife will make a difference.

you're joking, right?
20 y.o.'s are just falling into ######s in college.. it's a fantastic opportunity.
The pinnacle of my ###### scoring career was between 21 and 27 when i had fairly low amounts of money and maturity.
At 35 I have 100X more money, wisdom, know-how, charm, a boat, a convertible... and my stock hasn't been this low to women since I was 12.
Granted, i was in better shape at 27.. but by no means i am an unattractive slob.

no way... all the effort to try to pick up divorcee's and chicks with kids?
Forget it.. i'm a has-been.
I thought desperate chicks hit on married dudes and stuff.... I haven't been so much as the recipient of a flirt in 7 years.

Lust for immortality is a young man's game. I've never known anyone over 70 who wanted to live to 100, much less forever.

When I was 30 and married, there were women who were way out of my league throwing themselves at me. You may just be hanging out with too many morally righteous women.

Yes, but if you're in the body of a 20 year old, you'll feel different.

If you're 70 and decrepit, sure, maybe the promise of an afterlife or even nothingness is preferable to the pain of continuing to exist. But if I'm pain free and young and wild and free, I'm in no rush to die IMO

This could be....I'm in my mid-30's right now, and the thought that I'm at or approaching the mid-way point of life is scary. Given my current mindset, I love my life and would want to enjoy as much of it as possible. That may change..and frankly, if it does, I will feel a lot better about it, because I'm honestly worried about enjoying my "golden years" in light of the impending nothign.

This is the way I look at it. Do I want to be alive tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Sure. And I hope to outlive my parents so they don't have to lose a child. But if I was to have a massive heart attack and not wake up tomorrow it wouldn't terrify me.

Oh, it was awesome for a while. I was all jumping off buildings and ####, getting shot and electrocuted, eating glass, the whole extreme sports gambit... I did it all. Nothing could kill me! Then all my friends and family started dying. That really sucked for a while. I made new friends, but they died, too. After six or seven times through with that, I figured friends weren't really worth it. I lived like a ####### hermit. Pfft... how long did that last? Two, three thousand years? Four, tops. Yeah, I started talking to people again. Made new friends. They died, too, but I was over it by then.
Mankind did some really amazing #### over the next couple hundred million years. That was awesome to see too, at first. I went to all sorts of planets, watched them move stars and build dyson spheres, they even cured themselves of all known disease and started living longer. It was soooo nice to have some friends that didn't just die after a hundred years or so.
But then they started evolving. People were turning into pure energy left and right. I couldn't do awesome #### like that, stuck in my immortal body. So I made my way back to Earth to see how they were doing there, but it turned out to be long since abandoned. So I was stranded on this worthless rock I'd seen a million times over with nothing to do. Yeah, the planet had changed quite a bit since I'd last been there, but I still wasn't occupied for more than a million years or so. After that it was boring as hell. I remember once I just sat on the edge of a cliff and waited for whatever continent I was on to drift into another one. Jeez.
But it seemed to keep getting hotter. Now, my immortal ### can stand any temperature you could throw at it, but that doesn't mean I wasn't uncomfortable. ####, it was hotter than two rats ####### in a wool sock. Pretty soon, the oceans were boiling. Now that is a sight to see. I even went swimming in it. Real smart, you ####### genius. I lost track of time, and before I knew it, the oceans were ####### gone and I was sitting at the bottom. Everywhere I went trying to get back up, BAM! continental shelf. Took me a thousand years to find a way back up. The whole thing was desert by that time anyway.
Then there was this galaxy that was ####### huge in the sky. It got so big, it took up the whole damn sky. After a while, you couldn't tell its stars from the normal ones. Then all the stars, new and old, started moving around in all these weird patterns. It was some show, let me tell you. Most interesting thing I'd seen in a while. But just as it was getting good, the ####### sun exploded.
Now, the sun exploding itself was an even cooler sight than all those extra stars. It got really damn big. Hotter than hell, but worth it. And then BANG! ####er started exploding. It kept going off for probably a billion years. It was awesome at first, but, ####... give it enough time and anything is boring. By the time it was done it was like night all the time and the sun wasn't all that much brighter than the other stars in the sky. Not to mention that it was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey now.
So I waited. And waited. I memorized the stars and came up with names for all of them. And I waited. It was so ####### cold, I didn't move around that much. I couldn't even tell you how long it was, cause it was too damn cold to think. ####, how I waited.
But then the damnedest thing happened. There was this huge, deafening roar. The sky was on fire. It started getting hot again. The wind got stronger and stronger until I was flying. Then came the loudest ####### sound I've ever heard in my life, and I found myself flying up and away from the Earth itself. When I finally got far enough away, I figured it out. Must have been an asteroid or something. Big ####er, though, there was a sizeable chunk of planet missing; a lot of it was still glowing red hot.
Now let me tell you, I thought it was cold on solid ground with no sun, but that was nothing. Empty space is ####### cold. That and not being able to breath... damn, that was an unpleasant time. I drifted away from what was left of the solar system. After I while I could see the giant cloud of #### left over from when the sun exploded. But then I just kept going. Man, it was a long time. Trillions of years, probably.
I landed on planets or even in stars from time to time. If I was on a planet, I was never there more than a billion years or so before another ####### asteroid came and threw me off of it. When I landed in stars (hotter than ####), I just had to wait until it exploded and sent me off in some other direction. It really sucked.
But eventually I drifted out of the galaxy altogether. Of course it was nothing like that big pinwheel they told us it was in junior high. Just a big irregular blob. Just drifting and drifting, still couldn't breath. I passed other galaxies. Even from where I was, I could see stars exploding in the close ones. That was cool for a while. But I guess they were all running out of stars or something, the galaxies kept getting dimmer.
About the time the last galaxies were going out, I started to feel like I was going faster. A definite sensation of acceleration. I started spinning around. I don't know around what, but I could tell I was spinning from the few galaxies left out. I started to feel like I was stretching out, too. And then I couldn't see anything at all. Not too long after that I just felt crushed and stopped moving. Just saying that doesn't do it justice. I couldn't even move myself anymore. I felt like someone had crammed me inside a ####### shoebox or something.
This went on for a long ####### time. And I just kept feeling smaller and smaller and smaller. When suddenly I was free. Well, I wasn't being crushed anymore. But I still couldn't move and still felt tiny as ####. And I still couldn't see anything.
But that's where it ended. Nothing has happened since then. Nothing. And that was a really ####### long time ago. I've already rethought every thought I ever had a googol times. That's not even an exaggeration, I counted. Yeah, I counted to a googol. That's how long I've been out here.
Man, this ####### sucks. Immortality blows.

Its the same guy, Aubrey De Grey.
But he's not alone in pursuing this anymore. Even Google is with their subsidiary, Calico.
I'd say the odds of this happening before I die are looking fairly decent. Better than 50/50.
