So there's this one lady in Isreal that is 120 years old. Can you imagine that. Living to be 120 years old. I can't and now they're saying that she may be the oldest person on the face of the earth. I can't imagine that. But if I could I think I would hate it. Absolutely hate being 120, muchless the oldest person to ever live. I don't think I could even stand to live to be 100. Do I think it would be cool to see a whole century and say that I had lived through it. Sure, but to become that old and fragile would destroy me. To not only see a full century but also to see all of my friends and probably all of my siblings, and parents, and even some of my children pass on before me. That would be horrible. To see war after war, and struggle and turmoil, along with the blessings of new life and love among my children. I don't think I'd be able to take all of the memories, the joys, the pains. Do you think you could? Who thinks they could? How do you think it would feel to be 100? Do you think you'd feel like a vegetable. Do you think that you would just be begging to get it over with and not want to have to live another day or would the reason you're still there is because you're just holding on by a thread. What do you think? How would it feel? I'd hate it. personally. I can't even begin to imagine having all of those memories locked inside my brain. What about you?

I would like to live past a hundred. To tell you the truth, I have dreamt of being the oldest person alive in the world. I thought I had to beat 113 though. For some reason I want to make the geneis book of world record. Sure, am I being unrealistic with my dream? I do not have to worry about having my kids pass me up in age because I do not want kids.

Our generation is expected to live beyond 120. I don't expect to be old and frail then, I expect technology will have advanced to the point that I will be as fit as a 50-year-old is now.

Yeah, I hear technology will advance, but I just do not know what the future holds for me.

i think part of the reason that women is still alive is because of her will to be. the day people give up is usually when things start getting bad. I think it would be hard to be that old and watch those kinds of things but at the same time if i were able to take care of myself and still found things i enjoy...it could be amazing
