I don't even like being 40
imgurmage
Unless I've got a body like I did in my 20's, I don't think I want to exist until I'm 200 years old.

You will work the entire time, not own anything, and like it.
-Capitalists, probably
DrenLithear
Only available to the epstein class though.
EccentricNut
only if you work until at least 180
naughtyrev
Social security age raised to 140
quietwalker
The issue is not living until you're 200. It's being young until you're 200. If you still start getting creaky and having organ failure and brittle bones and getting sick all the time when you're 60-70, then this just means you've got 100 extra years of suffering and misery and high cost hospital care.

Boomers can live forever!

Wasn't this the plot of Avatar 2?

Just look at the effects of mental illness and degradation as our lifespan has expanded as far as it already has. Can you imagine how smooth our brains would get with an extra century to rot?
Exyr
I dont doubt that someone has already born that will live to be over 200 years old.
theduckening
I'm 40, I'm already tired. I'd rather be dirt before I even reach that
ShinksAvoHazaar
Keep that shit far the fuck away from me. If I’m forced to live longer than my current expectation I will make it everyone’s problem.
CJAW
Can you imagine how disappointing it would be to meet your great great grandparents? Because you'd be subjecting your great great grandchildren to that disappointment if you live to be 200
DaSauceSeeker
I don't even wanna make it past 50 (and I'm almost there)
captainenhancement
Same - I was just googling yesterday if assisted suicide is allowed for anyone in Switzerland, or do you have to have terminal illness. Turns out it IS available for everyone BUT those that authorise it want a better excuse than, I hate my life and I’ve given up. So back to the drawing board.

Also applies to cancer treatment.
RichardPenne
Watch it start repairing the DNA of cancer cells......
Sorrontis
again, if it works, only the rich will benefit.
DaveSamsonite
Almost every man can produce an almost inexhaustible supply of this inexpensive life-giving protein, but almost all of it goes to waste.
werdegast
On the bright side we would get to work at until we are 180. /s (as if it is needed.)
SwiftyGuy
And they’ll extinct the whales in the process
USSBigBooty
Wellp that explains this
DenseBot
Wow, who thought eating whale would give you a 200 year lifespan
RUFingKiddingMe

33°C eh? Should mention that....
Hypothermia is a medical emergency occurring when the body's core temperature drops below 35°C. It results from prolonged exposure to cold environments, causing heat loss to exceed heat production. Symptoms include intense shivering, confusion, fatigue, and slurred speech, requiring immediate, warm-up, and medical attention.
So there is that little hurdle to figure out.
BigMissSteakBSky
This was a plot point in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy. The wealthy could afford to extend their lifespan and even migrate to Mars while poor folks were trapped in ‘normal’ lifespans on a rapidly overpopulating and resource diminishing Earth.
turbodog
Also a theme in Asimov's Foundation series. Spacers were few in numbers and lived very long lives, away from the vile diseased common wretches on Earth.
Tahroo
Whale's live underwater away from the sun, heat and in a mostly gravity free lifestyle..... human's are out here getting our meat slow cooked rotisserie style while the Earth's core and rotation are slowly crushing us. Wouldn't hold my breath on this >.>
PhloydPhan
Uh, obviously it would be really hard to monetize floating all day in the ocean, so we're not going to consider how *that* might affect a whale's lifespan.... /s
drousnavat
We already cannot get the old trash beings out of offices as is. Imagine them living another 100 years.
Quebeker
But maybe if they have to live through the shit they created they may want to fix some. Like climate change
drousnavat
That would be a reasonable thought if not for the fact that they have enough money to make basically any problem not apply to them.
TomahawkJackson
By the time it works, it'd be Millennials, tho.
drousnavat
As a millennial, we do not WANT to live that long. We want to live to be like maybe 35-40 and be done.
ananfro
35-40 would be fine if we weren’t just modern day serfs
drousnavat
The fact that most of us make under 2k a month and will never be able to retire is good enough reason to go at 40
