What would be the ideal human average life span?

[old mark]

1. 100 is a nice round number, and still nearly 40 years away for me.

Who the hell voted for 50?
Damn kids......

4. You wouldn't think it was so long if you were 61.......

.....like me.


You really don't look 9, anyway.

3. Depends on what you are looking to achieve.

In a world where people lived to 1000 (considering they were of good health and mental faculties) I would think social change would be incredibly slow and many of the more interesting aspects of life would grind to a halt.

If we only lived until 25, life would undoubtedly be more interesting, but it would also be chaotic and destructive to culture as a whole.

The being said, I would like to be in my early 20's for 1000 years.

5. Is the aging process the same or would it be slowed down

to match the life span?

6. Hmmm. I didn't think about that. I guess people can answer it both ways.
