Seeing in the year 2100 AD
There seems to be more and more interest in extending you lifespan nowadays, with all sorts of claims starting to appear. So, do you think that you will celebrating New Year 2100 AD? It's far too late for me, but some of you youngsters might make it.
Of course, the pessimists will claim that civilisation will have collapsed by 2050.
PS Cryogenic freezing does not count (not unless they pour that glass of single malt through your frozen lips, of course)!

The world record is 126; some French lady who died quite recently.

Re: Seeing in the year 2100 AD
I'd love to be there - this is going to be such an exciting and challenging century.
Unfortunately I, too, am probably too old to benefit from such an advance in medical science. So I'll have that single malt now, thanks.

Probably just as well to have it now. By 2100, whisky could well be banned on some grounds or other.

Re: Seeing in the year 2100 AD
I'd be 123 - I think. It's a depressing thought.

Oh my giddy aunt. The only time I want to hear "ban" and "whisky" in the same sentence is when you are referring to Loch Nam Ban.

Re: Seeing in the year 2100 AD
We could be wetware by then - uploaded intelligences, then just download into cloned bodies built from our original DNA. If you want a challenging view of this, try Charlie Stross's Accelerando

It's a bit of a challenging read, but chock-full of left-field ideas.

You seriously cannot add 100 to your age as it was in 2000?
I'm pretty sure my 8 year old neice could work this out.
I fear for our future. 
What do you plan to do in the future? You aren't planning on University obviously.
