I think I remember that story.

Iā€™m not sure doubling our life expectancy would be a good idea, overall. I personally would not mind living to be 200 if I could remain healthy enough to be mobile and independent. Living a long life while being confined in a bed or an old folks home would definitely not be very appealing.

In fiction, the super-old generally seem to be healthy and well off financially. I doubt that would be true in real life, though.

My maternal grandmother used to tell a story about her father, where he was asked if he could live another hundred years, what would he live for? He allegedly answered ā€œI want to live another hundred years to see what damn fool hats women are wearing.ā€
