Do you wish to live up to 100?

I don't know that i do want to live that long.If my health was good[ which of course it's not now]& my mind was still good & i could stay in my home i wouldn't mind living to that age but that's alot of if's, lol.

Hi Zandi! I have recently become very aware that the average length of a life has become longer and we can now expect to live longer than our forefathers. But are we really living if we are taking pills to prolong our life or we are in homes for the aged because we are no longer capable of being on our own? My mother will be 92 next month and has recently moved into a care home. She is no longer able to live safely by herself and her mind is wandering to places which are unknown to those close to her. She may well have reached a big age but she is no longer the person that she was. I have no wish to live to a ripe old age if I have lost my faculties and am a burden to society. I certainly do not wish to reach 100 as a vegetable. As long as I am fit and able to care for myself then that is fine but after that I would prefer to move on to wherever we go after our life here.

First of all great question, +! Well, I don't think I would. I'm too vain for that I think I'd hate to be that wrinkly. But who knows I might grow up and change my mind! Right now I can't imagine it though. Maybe if I could still look REALLY good at 100....

Doctors want to prolong the human life. But they don't think about the care that old people need. Maybe one day special health care systems for elderly people will be present in all countries. But now this is a fiction. I want to live long enough to see that my child have a good life on her own. I hope that my life will not last too long to become a burden.

I don't think I want to live until 100. There is a lot of reason why I don't want to live up to 100. First, I will be too old to do anything. Icannot travel, I cannot enjoy my life like I use to be and I cannot drink and eat like I used to. Second, there are nothing more that I want to achieve by that time. What else I want to achieve? Career? money? Enjoyment? Travelling? Nothing left for me. If I can make a choice, I would like to live up to 80 and I'm still healthy. I just want to die peacefully without causing trouble to my family and my self. Yeah, 80 will be ideal age to die.

Of course I would. Unless that would mean that I would be really sick and not really be happy anymore then no. It depends on that. If I can be healthy at that age and still have energy and all my senses then yes. That is the most important thing. I've seen old people that are really tired and have lots of illnesses and old people that don't appear to be their age and have jobs and are really productive. If I could be one of the last ones I'd love to live very very long, over a 100 years even, I think could be achievable with a healthy lifestyle.

hi zandi I would love to liveto be one hundred as we would seee so many marvelous inventions yet to be made.also we will be healthier as we will discover better ways to treat a lot of diseases and well I would love to see what is going to happen. I am 84 so maybe I will be ninety anyway before I die. I love to learn all the time and to live while I am alive. lol.

If God grant me with a long life that I live until 100 years old, then I am grateful. If not, I am still thankful. Living for a long life will witness lots of thing. Not to mention, we'll have more to tell to the younger generations. But I wonder whether I am prepared enough to live to that age. I still need food to eat, place to live and money to spend. I don't want a long life but live in poverty.

HI there ! AS I've just had heart surgery the thoughts of dying or living longer have been on my mind a lot more I think I qualify to answer this ! I wouldn't mind being 100 if I knew I'd have my right mind and be physically in good shape. The drs. I've had these last few months tell me I'll have from 10 -40 yrs if I take care of myself............I m 62.........40 yrs. would make me 102...I realize they are reaching ! However, if I have to be a burden on my son and grandkids, I hope the Lord takes me on year 39 LOL hugs, quita

I'd want to live agelessly. Going back to your point, I'd rather die young without pain. I cannot afford to look ugly and old and that's all. By the time I might reach 100, I am disabled by lots of stuff. No more fun.

I absolutely do not want to live to 100! I am seriously not liking the people in this world today. Greed, selfishness, killing. Ouch! I had a job of 17 years and was bullied out of it....honest, this person just hated even looking at my face so she destroyed me. Friends....they even end up screwing you! A mentor once said "in your lifetime, you will be able to count your friends on your fingers". That is so true. Only and handful are real, true friends. I love my family more than anything, but I do not want to be an old, pain in the *&().

If conditions were set like -- if I were to retain my 25 year old body and state of health, then why not, I'll be partyin' til I'm 100! hahaha! Seriously, the only thing that makes me hesitate to say yes - I would like to live to 100, is that I don't want to suffer from all sorts of body aches and pains and illness til I'm 100. Also, I'd like to live up to 100 if my brain is still healthy, meaning, I'd rather not live to 100 if Iater on I'd get senile and not recognize members of my family. And to sum it all up, I'd rather not live to 100 if I'd be a burden to my family members, meaning, because a 100 yr old person's state of body health and state of mind needs to be in someone's constant care and attention. I'd rather be free to still manage myself and still be independent.

Yes,i wish that long so i can spend the rest of my remaining life with my kids and guide and take care of them. I love my kids but now i admit im taking a very hard time with them because its very hard to deal with them as kids. They are very naughty an d my 3 yrs old girl always want my attention but i need to do home works and online jobs like this here in my lot. I noticed i can not accomplish many tasks because i always have headache dealing with them and my siblings. My place is very depressing and noisy and lazy so it affects my working online. I just wish they will grow fast as ti want to just enjoy being with them at their teenage and beyond.

Yes.

Yes and no. Yes because i would want to see how much people progressed, climate changes also how my childrens and grandchildrens live. No because nobody gets younger and i realy dont want to experience that my children must take care of me while i am halfcrazy or ill because of age :(

Hello Good question well see i dont think so i would like to die early but i dont think so i would like to live up to 100 as well.Up to 70 is fine.People are fit and healthy.Life becomes hell if you have to depend on people for silly reason like going to toilet.I wont like it definitely to such a hellish life.I would prefer to die.

May u live to a thousand years, and each year has 50,000 days(at least).It will then be possible to get to see and do WHATEVER you wish to.BEST

I don't want to live up to that age, 100 because I would be too weak by that time and I would just have a hard time to do a lot of things.

forget that. i wish to be young jaja at 100 i will die not knowing anybody becuase i forgot. old age is sad :(

NO, i would not wish to live up to 100 because i don't want to get old and i know that aging process is an inevitable part of life that cannot be stopped, halted or changed but who would like to get old? I would not wish to live up to 100 because firstly, i would not be able to look after myself and it is going to be hard for my family, secondly, i am going to be like a child( i watched series about old people who are become like a child).
