Living to 150 or so...

[Taem]

So what's the optimum age then, if you can pick and choose your age? I'd say for most, it would be somewhere around their peak physical condition. For me, I feel that was between the ages of 28-30, around the time I stopped doing more physical exercise and instead had to focus on helping my children with their scholastics. But who want's to live forever?

I'd personally choose a regular lifespan with no illnesses, disease, or cancers over immortality any day. I would not want to outlive my children or increase the likelihood of them passing unfortunately before my time - which after enough time, would most likely occur.

If everybody was in their primes, I think that the world would turn into a real live "party" planet, as I'm sure people in these ages brackets tend to desire procreation above all else, that age being the bodies peak physical time and ideal mating period. I can't even imagine how much this world would change - all the elected officials would be between 25-35. Their mentality would change everything! It would be change, yes, but there is some comfort to knowing you have a finite amount of time on this Earth. I'd gladly stick with that over immortality.
