Oh yes! Give me 116 years or more!

I told my children...I have to stay around long enough to make sure you guys get to an old age, then my job is done.

If I can live a happy, healthy life doing what I love to do, gimme 200 years!

IOW, I don't set an age limit on how long I'd like to live. I figure God will take care of that in His good time. I would like a Mulligan, though. :-)

you're a long time dead so why not live as long as you can first?

No, I don't want to live that long.

No. If average life expectancy jumps to 120 in 2100 (I was born in 1985), then OK. If modern medicines can make a person who is 100 look like they are 60, then I guess that will work. But if I have no mind, lost my marbles and just skin flab on bones, absolutely not.

If at some point in old age I'm stuck in a chair all day, then I better have a high quality TV and all the cable channels...I'll be able to amuse myself with my TV shows.

you have many years to go before you'll be stuck in a chair and if it happens i'm certain you will find a way of amusing yourself...lol..enjoy the next 50 first

To outlive your immediate family is bad enough.. that generation you may be able to keep up with.. to outlive your grand kids and be into the great grand children would be a worse

But only if I had quality of life. If I were confined to a bed and could do nothing, no. My grandmother lived to be 102. She was an amazing lady.

Life on earth is wonderful, but I would want to see heaven and my loved ones there sooner than that.
