Yes, and many more! Because I am head over heels in love with life and I know with absolute certainty that there is no afterlife.

Absolutely. I would like to live for 500, a thousand! Why? Knowledge and maturity. Think back to when you were 10, 20, 30, or 40. How far back you think of course depends on how old you are now. If you are 50 there are ways you thought at 40 that you find juvenile. If you are 40, things you did at 30 seem silly. With that maturity comes grace and understanding. Imagine how you would look back on how undeveloped you were at 100 when you are 200? Knowledge, I want to live for knowledge.

As long as I remain in a good condition of health and mobility, sure, who wouldn't? Why? Well, one very good reason would be because this is the life I know, and I'm used to it. We don't have the slightest idea about what happens after that. All we've got are a lot of unsubstantiated, unprovable stories about a wonderful hereafter. Thanks, but I don't buy what I can't see and you can't show me, so I'll hang on to this one right here for as long as I have the ability to function well, and am getting some pleasure from it.

I'd love to live longer... With my Wife, Children, Parents, family and friends... There is so much to learn, enjoy, and share with loved ones.... Time Indefinite is in my heart... to want it...
Ecclesiastes 3:10
I have seen the occupation that God has given to the sons of mankind in which to be occupied. 11Â Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart, that mankind may never find out the work that the [true] God has made from the start to the finish. 12Â I have come to know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during one’s life; 13Â and also that every man should eat and indeed drink and see good for all his hard work. It is the gift of God.

I would love to live to be that old, if I am relatively healthy.
The reasons are simple, I like to watch the world change. Sometime it is for the better and sometimes it is for the worse. Think about how much things have changed since 1907.

Oh I am so curious about what the world will bring -I think I'd keep on living as long as I had the capability to understand what was going on around me !

totally depends on my health situation... if i were healthy with minimal health issues.. it would like to live to 100.. maybe even past if it were possible, just so i could experience all the good changes that technology brings... but if i were sick, or unable to do most tasks for myself I would like to "go" as soon as it comes to that.

I'd rather die soon, becoming too old and useless is not what I want to be.
