I don't think that I would want to live past 100. I think that it is amazing that there are people that have. However, I would think that as big of a milestone as it is, it can probably also be very lonely. Those that you would have spent most of your adult life with, would most likely have passed away already, and although there may hopefully be grandchildren and great grandchildren around, it's still not the same. I just hope to be able to enjoy my life and live it out with my loved ones until it is the right time to move on.

 

Hellllllll no.  If I was that old I wouldn't know it anyway.

I knew a man who died at age 123 in Istanbul-Turkey. I have a video record with him at age 121 and he was in very good health.

Absolutely! And I plan on it. It is God's plan for everyone who tries to live in an approved condition live to be infinitely old in perpetual youth and good health on a paradise earth. I f you would like to knnow more read the Bible Psalm chapter37:verse 29. then the next time Jehovah's Witnesses come to your door ask them about it.

Yes, As long as I could contribute to society. I think it would be exciting to see how the world grows, and to be able to share things from my own experiences. Just imagine the knowledge you could share.

I believe living past 100 is entirely possible. The key is to live independently. So if you exercise regularly and keep your muscles toned you will be able to get up off a chair by yourself and take yourself where you want to go. Also keep your mind active and think young. I think the generation of adults now who are exercising regularly will show that this is true. Lots of people will be living, in our generation, past 100... and living well!

no I worked in a nursing home 1 pt was 114 outlived her relatives and slept 22 hrs a day

 

With the advances in medical science and technology, many people are living many more years than they otherwise would have.  Nature has a very good way of controlling population through disease, disaster, accidents, infertility, miscarriage, and still births.  Now nearly all those efforts of control can be circumvented with medical or other means.  Now that we are living longer we are having issues with social programs to assist the elderly and/or infirm, issues with economic means of support, and of course issues of loneliness.

 

What is it like to outlive everyone you have ever known?  I hope to never find out.  I want to live a good life, it does not have to be a long life.
