One week ago today my grandmother turned 103 years old. I stopped by a few days previous on our way out of town for vacation, and because of that i did think about this subject a fair bit the last week or so.
I thought about the world she has seen from early last century to now, and the mind boggling changes that have occurred during that span. So for that reason, sure i would like to live a long time...but i know i am unlikely to do so even if heredity is on my side. (she still has 6 sisters alive and saw here father and 4 of his siblings live too 99 and older).
Interesting topic though and one heavily influenced by how old a person is now i would think.
