Do you assume you'll die old?
2004-08-27, 10:03 AM #1
At age 70+.

I think most people in stable living conditions assume this. I do, although I worry about things that I know I'm at risk to die of before old age. What's funny though is that I don't worry about things like getting hit by a car or something like that, even though there are a million everyday things that could kill anyone of us any day.

None of you honestly don't at least subconsciously assume it? There goes my theory on the majority of people with stable living conditions. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I accept the fact that most people die old.

I think something will happen along the line for myself, either self-inflicted or otherwise, that will cause me to not live somewhere past 30 or 35.

I was convinced something like that would happen to me when I was younger, and I would never even make it to 18 or so... but here I am... still alive... I suspect something may still happen though.

I assume I'll die old, because if I assume I'll die prematurely, then I'll end up worrying about death for the majority of the time.

I assume I'll live to be old, provided that I stick to a healthy diet, avoid smoking, etc. But I know that there are thousands of things that could kill me, both obvious or otherwise.

accually, it doesnt cost much to reserve a spot in a cryo-freeze list... one company, called Alcor just has the person pay a fee of $2 per day that they are alive, because a pre-arranged cryo-freeze team would be waiting to....freeze you...

Bah, don't you realize: this IS the future! Take another look in 5 years, you'll see what I mean.

Anyways, I plan on living a looooooooong time. I'll just pull the ol' nanobot trick; get them to rebuild my body as it ages.

To somewhat renew the track of the thread, I want to die relatively old, but in a really really cool way. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but I'm pretty sure it involves me jumping out of a plane with no parachute three or four miles up after setting myself on fire, and then landing on or near the house of my sworn enemy, whoever that may be.
