I always find this interesting. Look at the ages of some of these people. Do you want to live that long?
Think about how truly long that is.

Wow nobody from India in top 50 lol .
Well I haven't ever thought about how long I want to live , if I am helping others and making impact on others life then I want to live for 120 years , if not it's okay if I die in 60-70s .

It’s better to always live the today to The fullest because tomorrow isn’t promised.
I have beverage thought about how long I’ll live instead. How to live a fulfilled life with each passing moment/day.

Very well said buddy.
I don't see any point in living a long life if we aren't enjoying it . If majority of the days in a year if I am happy , only then I will be willing to live for long.

Exactly my point buddy.
Happiness is what makes life worth living.

Wow! 120 years
I not sure I do, to be honest! I guess technology will make living long more common and more comfortable as the years go by, but still... I try not to think about it too much

The key will be what it will be like in terms of our ability to move around and be active. Being 120 and in pain all the time isnt appealing.
Then I guess you dont want to discuss digital immortality and the possible connection of our neocortex to the cloud. LOL

Exactly!
Lol I was thinking more in terms of my physical body :P
But I must confess I don't know much about digital immortality

We will let you know when it happens. LOL

Wow! Look at number 2 on the list, Sarah Knauss. Died Dec 30, 1999. Two days from seeing the year 2000 and the end of the world as we knew it with the Y2K bug. lol

Yeah I am sure she checked out because she was scared of it.
If I recall, Emma Moreno was the last one to be alive from the 1800s. She lived until 2017 or something.

In a decade and given the advances of technology, can we expect 150 years? Every year that goes by, our medical equipment advances by huge margins.

You’re right . The technology advancements will boost things and make living a more comfortable and enjoyable on the long run.

Yea but the problem is whether or not a small group of people control the technology. If they do, it doesn't bode well for the ordinary people.

I get your point.

Very interesting question to ponder. I am not sure how quickly this will go. I am writing a post now about this that will be up in a few.
Can the human body get passed 120 years old? That is the first question many people in the field have.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea but I think its something we have to consider. We are now on the level of messing with genes and increasing lifespan might actually be possible.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Certainly I dont discount it for a moment. I do believe massive life extension is coming at some point. Many who are around now will have to ponder this for themselves.
For example, those in their 20s, likely are going to a much longer life than what we have on the planet now. Thus, some might be able to see 150 or 200.
Who knows. I do not bet against technology.

Well, they are already "growing" organs for people. I don't think it's too much of a leap to say that most bodies will have "replacement parts" available at some point. Hell, they may just 3D print a new body in 20 years. Then, if the brain is already hooked to the cloud, they could just "download" it into the new body and, presto, back to age 27 again. Truth IS stranger than fiction after all....

The 3D printing of organs is interesting. I havent researched it a ton to be honest but I know it is a heavily researched area.
It makes sense that this type of path could have some success. We will have to see how far it goes before they run into a major barrier. I am sure it is out there.
But yes it is incredible to think how things could be in 20 years.

I'm always amused when people say I want to get to 100 or more. I'm always saying I want to live till I'm healthy and capable of taking care of myself. Quality of life matters.
