How Many of You are Against Living Above a Hundred Years of Age?

I totally disagree on this.. there are people who are in their 20's or even children who have more pain than a person of 100 or so. It isn't age that matters it is health and health issues each person is dealing with. If you want to live life to its fullest then you need to take care of yourself all through your years of life. We can have fun, we can enjoy life and have a good healthy attitude that goes with it..

Even young people have pain, so that is not a criteria. I plan to live to be at least a hundred, and I am more than half way there. Old age does not always equate to disability or chronic illness either. I have known full functional and intelligent people who have been one hundred or older. The point is to take care of your body while you are young, eat right, and get enough exercise, and take care of your mind, learn new things, fill your mind with ideas, read books, do puzzles, play games, use the computer, and to take care of your spirit. Do positive things, be a great influence in other peoples' lives then you will be happy whatever age you live to, because you will be living and not just existing.

It's alright to live well over 100 years in age as long as you can still take care of yourself. Which person anyways wants to live forever, as it is life is already a pain. I don't think you would like to see your children die before you do.

If I will still be able to see, hear, sit, stand and think... why not :)) No seriously if millions of people would live like more than a hundred years then the population will be too crowded and there would be lots of old people sitting in their homes that goverments had to feed with earth's resources. So for the sake of this world I would choose to die in a normal age like 80- 85 :)

Living for 100 years is ok, until we are healthy enough to all our work by ourself without depending on others. But i think it is a rare combination

life about 100 years would be quite pretty , if it would not depend on the other people' care and help and if all the last 20 years of them would have the minimum cost of all activities that leads to en end nowadays.....less medicines,less dicease problems , generally better life....Then it would be wonderful and of course acceptable

I think it depends on my health at that age. My husband's great grandmother lived to be 109. She actually just passed last year. The last few years her health declined, but up until she was 103 she actually lived on her own and took care of herself. She had numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren and even great great grandchildren and she remembered all their names and everything.

I've read somewhere that currently, the worldwide life expectancy for all people is 64.3 years. Considering this, reaching 100 years and beyond is quite a feat, and I think it will be wonderful to be listed in the Guinness book of world records as one of the oldest in the world. If I do live that long and still have my brain intact, or at least be lucid, I think I would love that. But if I live that long but not "healthy" enough the appreciate it coz of some devastating disease (like the Alzheimer's), I'd rather have a short but full life, and leave behind good, not sad memories to my loved ones.

My father lived to be 102. He was in relative good health, had no financial worries and lived still in his own home with my mother. He had help because going up the stairs , taking a bath and getting dressed had become a bit difficult. The last few years of his life he would: I can't recommend anyone living more than 100 years.
