    Bruce Lee said he never wanted to live long enough to get old. OK. How old do you want to live? Can you see yourself living to the age of 100? More and more people are living to that age. There is a man who is running a marathon and he is 101 years old, no joke! He is from England.

    What age do you want to die and how?

    Mods, please move this to "The Lounge" I thought I was posting this in the Lounge where it belongs.

    I want to live for as long as I'm able to enjoy life. If I'm bed ridden or if I've lost my mental faculties, I wouldn't want to live.

    My guess, based on my current health, lifestyle choices, and family history, is between 85 and 90. I'd like to die peacefully, while in my sleep, knowing that my kids are well-off.

    Yes, I just realized it also. Tell Mods to move this to the Lounge. I thought I was in the Lounge, but afterall, this is Friday night, so I have an excuse for such a mistake.

    I want to live until it hurts to much to be alive. Up to then if its 200 then 200.

    Check out the article on the man from England who is running the marathon. Also, scientists can't understand why humans do not live an average life of 125 years old. There is a woman who is 108 years old who rides her bicycle 10 miles per day.

    40s...I would hate to die and have a picture of me all old and decrepit. I want to be remembered while virile, not decrepit. Plus, it seems like the most accomplished persons die young.

    When I reach my 40s, Im sure Ill feel differently however.

    Probably the worst thing about living beyond 80 (providing you have good health) would be lonliness. All your friends, wife, family might be dead and make it harder to be social.
