If you could live to 200 - what would you do with your life?

truthseeker

If a pill or some treatment was developed to allow you to live to 200 - what would you do with the rest of your life?

Let's just say that you started to get old around 175. You're in your 50s.

Would you work longer, enjoy life, help a needy cause or travel?

Would you spend time helping to solve the worlds problems?

The problem with our limited lifespan - is when you get really good at something, you're too old to continue with it. Then you forget it all and die, leaving the next person to carry on from where you left off.

How much progress do you think the guys at Bell Labs would have made, if after developing the transistor they lived to be 200?

There is so much that could be done.

Though I would only do it if my loved ones could do the same.

Spend more time in the ministry.

I would work and save and invest until I was 80... then spend the last 120 years very wealthy and in retirement.

Effervescent

heh- and you thought Social Security had problems now!

If I were in that situation I would want to travel. There are so many different cultures out there and wonderful things to see... Id want to see them ALL.

LOL @ integ and Hyghlandyr!

I would spend time doing things I love that I think would also help humanity. For me, these would be pursuits in various fields of science and technology. I would also teach (actually, I intend to do this regardless of whether or not I get to live to 200) at the university level. I'd like to teach Japanese language, Logic, Ethics, Philosophy, Math, Biology, and Computer Science. In real life, it will probably be Japanese. In your scenario, I'd study up and teach all of them!
