High Debate #153,934

What would you rather have?

A) The guarantee of good health and youthful looks until the age of 70, then Logan's Run style termination...

OR

B) The guarantee to live to be 500 years old but only under the current human degeneration system slowed down.

On the one hand I like the idea of being of pensionable age but still able to get checked for ID in a bar, but on the other hand I like being cranky sub-40, so being able to bitch about events 400+ years ago with personal experience to reflect on (however badly recalled) seems pretty amazing too.

Me, I'll just about go with B.

'B) The guarantee to live to be 500 years old but only under the current human degeneration system slowed down.'

Depends how you define 'slowed down'. One person might think that means youthful looks for 20 years, whilst another might think for 20%, which is 100 years and longer than A).

I don't really know why I bothered to write that.

If you only have youthful looks for 20 years, then there's something wrong with you. ;-)

That depends how you define wrong. Wrong to a schizophrenic might be voices inside one's head subsiding, whereas wrong to you might be voices inside your head arising.

I'd have to go with A, I wouldn't want to live for 500 years.

Yeah same here.. Eeven tough it'll be cool seening 100 years pass by.... i dont think i wanna walk into a shop and tell em im 500 years old... LOL :D

A

I'll take A, and the just not get caught, like Logan and perhaps make a few extra years, you know at least into the 3rd series.
