How old do you expect to be when you die?
I'm curious. Round your answers up to the nearest 10 years.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
In actual fact 70 is when I WANT to die, or maybe slightly before then. My Mother is 65, she will be 66 in April and I can see now for the first time that she is starting to look old. Not that that's a bad thing particularly, but she is starting to have weird aches and pains for no apparant reason, and I can see in 5 years time she will need a home help or some such thing. I have no wish to be looked after in my old age, I would rather die before someone has to start wiping my arse for me.
Anyway nod - what age do you expect to be when you die?

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
200 ish, maybe more. I was curious how many people have accepted that they are going to die 'early' (<100) without giving serious thought to alternatives.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
I have truly no idea, I take it as it comes. Some days the thought of dying early terrifies me, other days the thought of becoming very old does the same.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
I've never given it a lot of thought.
I see nothing on the immediate horizons that make me think I'd want to live past sixty or seventy. Undoubtedly if I started living healthy and taking advantage of medical science I could probably prolong things by quite a bit, but why would I?
For all the sci-fi masturbation there is very little available to make life worthwhile beyond seventy or eight (less if you suffer from various ailments). If there was some kind of nanotech "injection" (or similar) which rejuvinated your body back to it's state at twenty or thirty then it's a different matter.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
probably around 70ish, although i think that soon the average death age will start to drop a little for the first time in ages to take account for the fact that more people are getting more diseases which are harder to cure

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
I've always thought I will die in July 2066, though I have no reason why.
This will make me 83 and seems near perfect to me.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
I don't think that I will die a natural death. For some reason, and the fact that I know too many people that have died, I think I will be pretty young, max 30. And I'm not really sure if I want to live longer than that.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
I shall become a Tok'Ra host or find myself a sarcophagus and live to 400+
Failing that, i estimate that i will probably die between 70 - 80 (according to The Death Clock i will die on Friday 22nd April 2061, which will make me 73)

My personal belief system means I think I'll never die in my eyes but I will in all of yours. Parallal universes, Infinite space and all that.
So I'm with Nodrog on this one.

I don´t know but I think I will die in the same moment as most of you.
This due to my belief in a cataclysmic end.

Re: How old do you expect to be when you die?
For whatever reason I get a sence that I'll die early...as in <40.
I'd expect to like to 80+ as I'm pretty clean living and eat healthy enough.
But I do have that early grave expectation for some reason, not sure why. Might be all the young deaths I've seen in the past 2-3 years.
