Question Would you like to live to be a 120 years old?

Live to 120? No thanks, many say in new survey

Quote:
More than two-thirds (69%) of a nationally representative sample of 2,012 adults 18 and older say they'd like to live to somewhere between 79 and 100; the median ideal age is 90. That's about 11 years longer than the current U.S. average of 78.7 years (81 for women, 76.2 for men).

But when asked about potential medical treatments that would slow aging and extend life -- possibly to at least 120 -- the respondents aren't as convinced: 56% say they would personally not want such treatments, while 38% would.

So what does the collective members of CP have to say?

How long would you want to live and more importantly what factors helped you determine your answer?
