“I wonder if 200 year old women would be considered as sexy?

I don’t know but I think a 40-year age gap might seem reasonable when you’re 240 and your wife is 200.

Maybe 200 would be considered robbing the cradle.

With 1000-year lifespans maybe the drinking age would start at 210.

I’d rather have superpowers and only live for like 200 years.

I remember promises of a super long life back in 1960!

I remember a comedy skit from around i962 or so. I believe it was Milton Berle as a man who had lived for centuries. There are paintings of him crossing the Delaware with Washington, and many other proof he is centuries old.

When asked what made him live so long he shows them a pot of liquid as the reason.
One of those interviewing grabs the pot and drinks it down!
Berle says...”You were supposed to soak your feet in it!”

I am suddenly reminded of another old story. REPENT! CRIED THE TICK TOCK MAN! about people blessed with long life.
BUT for every minute you are late time is deducted from your life span by THE TICK TOCK MAN! Then the Harlequin shows up, causes problems that make everyone late!

This sounds like the Culture, from Iain Banks Culture novels . However, if Fauci and his fellow travelers get a hold of it, it is more likely to look like the Borg of Star Trek infamy
