I'd imagine a society with 200 yr old people would be much wiser and sanely run.

- ancient_kaiser 10y agoYes, that would be lovely, Kaiser Wilhem I would still sit on the throne of Prussia and Rutherford B Hayes would be seeking re-election.
- berntb 10y agoThis is probably the best pro-death argument -- the social consequences. The rest can be solved. But in two to seven decades, when they have this problem, I doubt they will see it as a moral choice to kill (/refuse to save) people because a lot of them will be conservative.
- Pica_soO 10y agoI find the idea of a live long prison sentence with immortals funny. That would grow quickly towards infinity.
- ryuker16 10y agoIf kaiser Wilhelm can hold the throne in a democracy for 100+ years he likely is doing a bang up job
- anexprogrammer 10y agoPerhaps. There might be a lot more cynicism and conservatism. Our legislators might not have adjusted to the implications of telephone and tv, let alone apps and online privacy. Oh, I see. You mean we should be able to run on to 200 don't you? ;)
- ryuker16 10y agoI suspect some age related conservativism is due to health and looks.
