Well....I'd have to agree with living a lot longer than we do now. For so many reasons.
One being that right now technology is advancing faster than it ever has in the history of our race. I often find myself worrying that i'm not going to be around long enough to see what life is like when we finally are able to leave this planet. Of course i love earth, but travelling on this relativly small planet is just not enough for me. I want explore the stars (I know...very treky). I read this series about people colonizing Mars by Kim Stanley Robenson, and it just made me watnt to go there even more. I agree living forever probably wouldn't be to fun, but doubling, or even tripeling our livespans sounds great. It these books, shortly after the first colonists arrived on mars, a few of the genetic specialists(sp?) figured out a way to do just that. It had to do with some sort of gene therapy that repaired all the cell division errors in tho body that add up as we get older. Very interesting, and it seemed scientifically plausable too. Anyways, the universe is sooo big, and I just want to see 'as much' of it as I can. A longer lifespan would sure help....
