    I do not want to live forever, but I would like to live long enough to see 1. human civilization reach Type 2 status (roughly 3000 years) and 2. first contact (if and when that happens). One is internal, the other external, but both events will have a profound impact on us.

    I'm not sure I'd like to hang around the entire time, though. It would be nice to hibernate and wake up perhaps once every 50 years.

    until my body gives out , I don't want to lay in a bed and die or be mentally gone and still be here. I want to be able to still LIVE if I am going to be alive. I estimate I will make it to my 80's or so.

    Like most people I'd choose an indefinite lifespan, the more time you have the more enjoyment you'll find in life.

    If Sungminnie and I were vampires, then i'd like to live forever.

    But if not, then at least some years to spend with my soulmate. <3

    Not long, just long enough to see what happens to the universe after the very last photon has decayed out of the very last black hole.

    25. I feel like I'm going to die young, and I'm assuming it's true because the "life line" on my palm is quite short. I'm 18 BTW.
