I want to live until I'm roughly 140. But If i died today or next week or tomorrow or in 3 and a half weeks or next tuesday or around easter time, I'd be happy too.

Does it really matter as long as you're happy and not suffering?

as long as i can still get around and do things on my own, i'd say about 80

140 is too old, i reckon you'd be too frail and bored.

100 is a good age, letter from the Queen and then off to the big porno in the sky.

I wish I could live for ever. Might seem a bit disturbed, but I would like to know what happens

Long enough to be old, not old enough to forget who everybody is and sit in a chair dribbling and peeing myself.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

I don't really expect to live past 80, but I guess I would like to live until around 90. Seems a good enough age to still have it all together, but not have to watch everyone around you die.

as long as i can understand and remember what is happening . i hate the idea of ending up as a senile who is dependant on others for his survival.

Until 91. I want to see the return of Halley's Comet in 2061.
Plus, that is the year of first contact. It would be cool to meet a Vulcan in real life.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Vulcans are just like people, except for the ears. I'd rather meet a Ulgersap.

Don't care how long I will live. I care more about how I will live.

At least 95, when the U.S. turns 300 years old in 2076. It'd also be nice to be a great grandparent. 105 is a nice number.
