I don't follow. How would it be any different than today? The children a woman has, will in turn have children. So the rate of births would be exactly the same

The children a woman has, will in turn have children. So the rate of births would be exactly the same as it is now. The only difference is people would not die as quickly.
- cryptonector 7y agoFertility would stabilize around replacement rate once life expectancy stabilized too. The number of children in a population would still go down though, as for any one woman's 1,000 year lifetime, there would be two children. Unless, of course, you mean that people who live to 1,000 would be children (immature) until they reached 180 years of age. I.e., just scale our perception of time along with our life expectancy. But merely scaling time isn't interesting. People who want to live forever want to live forever as adults.

- cryptonector 7y agoRight. But now we're talking about two very difficult to achieve things.
