Extending Your Life

This is an excellent question. However, it is not an easy one to answer. You said little changes. I guess it would depend on what those little changes were and whether my family would be around to share that life with me.

I think life would be even more dull then it already is without the small pleasures. I want to live life well and not be sickly, but I also don't want to live to a great age and possibly outlive all those I care about. I also think the dmage is already done. Even id I were to never have any more chocolate or whatever, it wouldn't undo my joints aching or the teeth already filled or what have you, I would just have to put up with being ricket longer! Tha doesn't sound like a very good idea if it is gong to extend the ricketishness for thirty years!

Well, I am not sure. Obviously I am not prepared to give up smoking at this stage, & that would extend my life. It depends what other changes there would be. Sometimes it's not worth giving up activities one enjoys.

Well, the way I look at it I could give up smoking and eat all the right foods and get hit by a bus tommorow. I believe you have to live life to its fullest because you never know what tommorow will bring. And besides all that, I have to agree with you-Do I really want to see where all this kaos that we call society is going. Thank you and take care!!

If I could extend my life by 30 years I don't think I would. I work for a senior care company and have for about 2 years now. We have a ton of clients that have us there because they have no family in the area and they need someone to help them out and even just for company. The most common thing I hear our oldest clients complain about is that they have no friends left. They have watched all of their friends and usually their spouses die and they are the last ones remaining. I know it's a fact of life but I couldn't imagine living long enough to feel like that.
