Highlands Ranch, CO USA i would never do that because who would want to live an extra 100 years? you'd have to see all of your friends and family die. Becky, 16
AUSTRALIA no way-nor would i actually want my life extended for that much longer. Angela, 16
Bella Vista, AR USA Sure, what the hell. If I don't like it I can always kill myself. Alias Irrelevante Who knows? Science and technology are so amazing; there are so many things we haven't discovered, and it would be totally shortsighted and naive to deny any possibilities. Katie, 25
Seminole, FL USA nope. I would probably get really bored and frustrated... from both a religious and biological viewpoint, humans are only designed to live a certain number of years. Imagine the increase in population! Imagine the possible pain of being 100 years older! Johanna, 18
OK USA Who would say no to that? Of course I would. Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA wow... good question! Yeah I probably would, as long as there were no side effects. It would be an amazing thing to watch another whole century go by. Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario CANADA Ugh, no. Unless my best friend did it too. Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA No. And the research is pretty clear that genetic therapy will not extend life anywhere close to 100 years. Laura, 36
Lowell, MA USA No, it is inhuman! Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA Would I accept them? Yes, if they extended not only the length but the quality of life. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR USA No I would not want to use that method to extend my life by 100 years as all my family and frriends would be gone and I would be a very lonely person. Marci, 56
Diamond, OH USA No!! Who wants to live another 100 years?!? But if it slowed aging, I might consider it. Tiny, 21
|Beaumont, TX USA I don't know enough about it. Fisch, 45
Preston, CT USA I would have to know more before I said "yes" or "no". I love life and would like to live longer but not if it meant I would have to be 'old' witharthritis for more years. It would be fine if all those extra years came while I was in my 30s. Reba, 51
Rockville, MD USA Possibly. I would want to enjoy a century of good health with sufficient money for a little gracious living. I'd need a lot more information before deciding yea or nay. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA No. What could you possibly do when you're that old? Sit in a wheelchair and drool all over yourself? No thanks. Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA I'm not absolutely certain I'd WANT to live 100 more years. Besides, if everybody got to live that long, Earth would be so messed up it would be a lot less fun. As for the specifics of HOW I got to live that long.....that method doesn't appeal to me much at all. I don't want to cheat. Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX USA (You mean accept, right?) Probably not. It doesn't eliminate the risk of being killed in an accident, and if I die of natural causes in my old age, I'll have lived long enough. If I were terminally ill, I'd probably want to extend my life as much as possible - but not by 100 years. etoile, 20
Washington, DC USA If they were to prevent me from becoming unbearably frail and useless, I might consider it. Otherwise, definitely not. Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX USA It would be hard to say. If it meant I could remain in decent physical health and of sound mind, most likely I would. Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA USA
yeah sure, I would't want to die unless I was in extreme pain or suffering from total boredem. In fact that would be great, like you were living on bonus time.
Maria If it included a life where I was able to walk and do simple things using the restroom by myself and enjoy life, then sure. I would want to see what the world will be like in 100 years. If you think of what the world was like in 1900, there have been alot of changes. Stephanie, 25TX USA I take this to be an "expect" and, well... I think for example in 100 years we'll change the genes of semen and ovum to create children in a customized manner... and I think illnesses like cancer and other malformations will be cured, as will be things like crippled limbs on newborn children, or so... howeve,r it will not have much of an effect against normall sicknesses created by virusses or bacteria, I think.
