Your husband is quite right IMHO. I've always said the generation is coming that will live forever, or certainly for several hundred years. I also always say we (my contemporaries) will miss the boat. Also, unlike the folks who say they would be bored, etc, I would have no problem being "bored" for 500 or 500,000 years given the opportunity.

How do you know?
Well, I guess he is not the only one who thinks like this...I used to think he was a bit nutty for thinking like that, but then, ,who am I to judge....
As for living a much longer time, we would never be bored here at our house...hubby will be 62 in a few weeks, and will be retiring....we dont have to worry about the children any more, everything we have is paid for, work is over and done with....we plan to jump into the RV, and drive till we drop dead...
Going where we want, when we want, doing what we want, whenever we want...we feel like we are just getting started, and already we are considered 'seniors'....being bored is the last thing on our minds...we would both gladly welcome having 100yrs of life left...
These so-called therapies will only be for the wealthy, I'd wager. All for the best...Let's face it, most people's lives are pretty tedious. Can you imagine being a checker at Safeway for eternity? I plan to live for eternity, but not subject to the limitations of this physical body.
Doing what? Must be an answer..
Yes, but what about the people around you who would find you boring for the next 500 or 500,000 years? They might just decide to do away with you right then and there after hearing you tell them the same old stories for like the billionth time.
