Not aging implies that you won't age beyond a certain point, or do you mean something different? Also, the question you ask is relevant even today with regular aging, and it's already hotly debated looking at euthanasia. I'm guessing euthanasia will have to be legalized if we ever do find a "cure" for aging.

> Not aging implies that you won't age beyond a certain point, or do you mean something different? I mean that I don't want my 4 year old to stop ageing, please :-) So "stop ageing" is only good as long as we have some decent measure of control over it. (I feel like I'm really stating the obvious here, but I don't know the whole discussion well enough to know if I can assume that obvious stuff is well-understood...)

I remember reading that even if we found a cure to ageing, our life expectancy would "only" be around 10 000 years because of various accidents (car crashes being probably the most major contributor).

  If we cure aging, we will become much more cautious.

    It sure seems this is the current trend. However, I am not sure that after a few millennia, people would not get bored and start experimenting with more extreme activities like base jumping or space travel.
