That will hopefully be too expensive for the destitute, because the trend in the lower class tends to be a whole lot of fucking and having kids.

I'd give everything I own to be able to live to age 1.000 in sound health, shoot I'll merrily be poor for those 1.000 years to pay off any sum due.
The 2000-3000 AD era will probably define humanity, and I'm pretty sure that it will be a golden age. If you will live through the next 1.000 years you probably get a shot at living for an unlimited timespan.
To be able to live for 10.000 years in good health would be something beyond comprehension, but I seriously think life is addictive enough to stick with it for at least a thousand years or so.

Anybody ever read Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles? I think you'd get so bored after only 300 years that you'd end up killing yourself. I'm sick of life now, so I'd opt out of 979 more years of this bullshit.

Even if you were to live for 1000 years, I imagine cancer would be near inevitable before then. If nothing else, skin cancer from so much exposure.

Actually cancer is a form of genetic damage, therefore if he really is finding a way to prevent or fix genetic damage, if he can do that, he might be able to lengthen life.
I thought he was a nut case for sure, but he's at Cambridge, and won an award for significantly lengthening the life of mice.

THE only way this would work out is if a) bird flu became a human to human virus and killed off a significant part of the population b) AIDS continued to spread like wild fire killing off a significant part of the population c) 2012 happened killing off a significant part of the population d) then when there are several hundred million people left on earth, the 1000 year party begins
i say this not because i wouldnt want EVERYONE to live to 1000, but because there would simply not be enough resources to. and by resources, i mean LSD

I read somewhere, or saw it on the Discovery channel. That if we are able to extend life beyond the 1,000 year mark, the average life will only be around 600 or so because of accidents. It is too easy to die in a car wreck, plane crash, hurricane, earthquake.........many things can kill you other than old age.

Seriously, countless people die in accidents before hitting 40 fucking years... the probabilities are stacked againt seeing 1,000.

In 2000, the most common actual causes of death in the United States were tobacco (435,000), poor diet and physical inactivity (400,000), alcohol consumption (85,000), microbial agents (e.g., influenza and pneumonia, 75,000), toxic agents (e.g., pollutants and asbestos, 55,000), motor vehicle accidents (43,000), firearms (29,000), sexual behavior (20,000) and illicit use of drugs (17,000)
If we assume that the molecular and genetic therapies proposed will be used to fight the degenerative effects of aging, as opposed to repairing lifestyle-related physical damage (cirrhosis, lung cancer, heart disease), they will have little impact on the top causes of death.

I seriously think this is improbable just because of the amount of fat cells that will clog the arteries by just eating food past 150years. Just think most of us might die before life expectency just because of all the fast foods we have eaten.

And what would be wrong with living forever in good health until you decide enough is enough? You'll probably exceed your current lifespan by far anyway.
We won't genocide all life on earth through nuclear war or massive pollution. We'll probably let things get way out of hand but then tackle the problem in a massive effort.

That still only eliminates @40-50,000 deaths per year (in the U.S.). Most deaths in developed nations are caused by lifestyle habits. These habits will not change just because a new genetic therapy is introduced, or because our cars are on automatic pilot. What is necessary is for us to get off automatic pilot & alter the death-dealing choices we make every day.

I guess what im looking at is the high possibility that the problem would get so big that it would be nearly impossible to tackle it. Most people would rather join it than fight it.

Maybe one of the stipulations for the treatment could be sterilization.
