Billy, I know what you are saying, but what about a chance for most of us to live to be whatever years we are "allotted" but in a healthy and productive condition, not suffering, or imprisoned by the same body that used to bring us pleasure and make us useful to society? I am relatively healthy and if I could live to maybe 84, I could pay off my mortgage, so my children wouldn't have to do that! If I could live to about 125 I could finish many of the projects I have started over the last few years. If I could live to 250, I still could not reorganize my filing cabinet, unless I could tie my wifes hands behind her back for 100 years, so she couldn't add more papers! Just remember that many people who had very short lives have contributed greatly to society, and others who lived to be very old, just ate our food and made fertilizer, which may be a contribution, but ........well I think the world already has enough...fertilizer! I just realized, I just contributed another half a page of ...fertilizer...SORRY! Ken B
