What Would You Do to Live Longer?
0
Quite simple - what would you do to increase your life span?
I'd like to split the question into aspects, reality and fantasy. For reality, I'd like to hear what you currently do or will do in the future to increase your chances of living a long (or longer) life. Also, if there are some radical ideas about increasing one's life span, I'd like to hear whether you would consider them or not. (Such as the idea of cloning yourself and harvesting the organs.)
For fantasy, I'd like you to come up with odd situations that would require a test of ethics. (I'd also like you to weigh in on how you feel about the situations put forth by others.) What I mean is, think up something that may seem wrong and explain why you would or would not do it to make yourself live longer. For example, let's say that you could increase your lifespan by ten years by eating another human's liver. Would you try to eat a human liver, or be for the consumption of human livers?
These are strict rules. Just starting points to get the conversation moving. Pretty much, what length would you go to in order to stay alive?

I would do pretty much anything to stay alive longer, besides something which I think is drastically immoral. But it's human nature to want to survive, so the limits are pretty thin.
For reality, I try to eat better and exercise as much as I can to live longer. Radically, Alcohol and Cigarettes that have no negative side effects would be amazing! And something like a clone that would give me more years to live and better health would be something I would like to see in the future.
Fantasy wise, if eating live babies could give me another 5, 10, or 15 years, I still wouldn't do it. That's like stealing life!

I used to exercise gratuitously and eat healthy, but I've gotten lazy in the past few years... so I'd like to change that while I'm still young.
In terms of fantasy, I'd like to think that in the future, people will be able to have artificial bodies that don't decay (sort of like Ghost in the Shell)... but it would kind of be a bad thing if people didn't die.

Exercise, eat healthy stuff and take my vitamins regularly. Save money I guess, in case that can help someday.
I might do almost anything to live longer.

My view on life is enjoy it while you can. I live a relatively healthy lifestyle, but im not going to inconvenience myself to live longer. For example, instead of a donut I'll have an apple, but Im not going to spend $5 more for something thats organic. Plus, a lot of my hobbies are a fairly dangerous, so there's a good chance Im not gonna be dying of old age anyway.
But living a healthy lifestyle is important to me. Ive got to do a lot of conditioning for mountain climbing, which means i cant be eating McDonalds every night of the week.

For both the reality and fantasy of it, I will do almost anything, short of harming another person.
So, I have no problem eating human liver. Provided it was liver freely given up. I would rather die than forcibly take a liver from another person. Make it medium rare, please. Onions would be nice. Thrown in a dead baby in there as well.

Someone watched The Island, I see.
As for me, I exercise and try to eat healthy already, but doing a little more wouldn't hurt. I'd do anything in reality to live longer, unless it involves killing people or the like.

I dont believe in that which some people call 'ethics'.
I mean, despite it being wrong or right, if it will inconvenience me if discovered, and there's a high chance of being discovered, I wont do it.
What I want to say is, if I can somehow steal three million dollars from a bank and never get caught, I would do it without an inch of guilt or the like.
So if I had to kill or steal life from someone else to live longer, I would do it, as long I'm reasonably sure no one would discover me.
As for what I do in the present, am not much of a health-psycho. Basically, prolonging your life while completely depriving yourself of its pleasures is an empty bargain, at least for me. That being said, I do exercise a bit, but I have no interest whatsoever in physical sports (except for tennis and soccer, and thats only watching)

I'd also like the idea of implanting cybernetics of some sort, not just to help you live longer, but just for the cool-factor.

It's not how long, it's how well.
-a once dear friend of mine
all in all, I'm not sure if I'd go to very many lengths to lengthen my live. I suppose that by following all the basic health guidelines and the like then I'll be able to live an average life.

Real, I'd eat healthy. If I came to a health dilemma or I start to become overweight I would exercise more, but I don't feel it's necessary unless I want to live to be 90.
Fantasy, I would need to insure that I not only could live forever, but that I retain my current age, and not just grow old without end, and that whatever my requirement is does not have diminishing returns. If these conditions are met, I would probably do anything, to any age, under any circumstance, so long as it doesn't impair my ability to live a standard life for eternity.

Reality-wise, i'm not gonna do anything to increase my lifespan.
1) Accident happens, if a flower pot can kill someone i believe it wouldn't be long before someone got killed by an ant that ate part of his brains.
2) Society's a bitch. Spending half of life working to live isn't pretty much a life i'd love to carry on.
3) I hate my veggies, not really an enjoyable life if i've to force myself to eat them for the next 20-40 years now would it?
Fantasy-wise
Rule the world. It oughta do some good.

I'd probably make little to no effort living longer than 40-50 years. Not much I want do with a deteriorating body. But I would definitely like to live longer through any possible means, though, cryogenic freezing sounds pretty damn boring.

Well I do a lot of stuff to decease my lifespan [or abruptly truncate it], like jumping off buildings and crap, but to increase my lifespan I don't smoke. I guess that's it.
Fantasy wise, Deathnote style. Kill others and take their remaining lifespan.
Other ways: eating another's heart and take their lifespan.
[I'd want to be young and live a long time. I don't want to just get more and more brittle as the years go on and still live on. That'd suck]
