No and who would want to be that old???

I'm fifty, would you like to look like this for a few hundred years?

Live to be fifty, holy crap thats ancient. What do scientist know anyway.

Heck yes!  I am an artist...I could actually get every single project completed  ... Woot!

I cannot imagaine living to be that old.

Thats impossible.

 I don't think it would be a good thing. No 'out with the old and in with the new'--  means there will be total chaos, Overpopulation, means food famine, jobs will be scarce, war will be amongst each other for living space, I think Soylent Green would be a reality where people not contributing would be thrown in the tar pits..  (so to speak)..  Not a good idea. 

The human body as all life forms live until they can no longer reproduce then the dieing process begins-- This is naure's design from a flower to mankind, mankind i do not believe man can change nature and its plan for us, this includes 'Global warming'  as much as the greenies think they are helping, they are simply getting in the way-- However, many are making big money on this Doom n Gloom scare..  It works for you if you want to get rich fast.. Many people are consensual victims to this.

It will never happen.

500 years on this insane planet, never. Even if I looked twenty. I'm not anxious to die but it will be a journey into the inevitable. I am curious of death.

we already live significantly longer than previous generations and ages will increase as we learn how to control our genetic makeup.

500 years would be very boring and crowded. unless interstellar travel becomes available then I would be up for it ;-)

Don't  pay any attention. Some scientists are always talking rubbish. They would be more useful on this site. 

500 IS TOO MUCH FOR ME;   If I could look 50-ish and have the inside parts be healthy, a longer life would be fine with me (100-200).   I'd hope it would be an active one physically, sexually, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually.  Mainly happily.

Live to be 50 and still look 50 --  Hmmmmmmmm?

Ha tabber -- I'm jokin' you. I did read your small print!

I have an edit button but I can't work it.. Living to be 500 is not  a good idea. 

Bob/PKB that what the scientist are saying. Be 500 and still be healthy as 50 inside and out. Kind of facinating.

Thanks fish girl. I love your thinking.
