Take The Life Expectancy Test!

pajor · 17-04-2014 3:51pm

Green Giant · 17-04-2014 3:56pm

If I exercised and stopped eating rubbish, I'd be in the 90s!

Maybe being old in the future won't be so bad?

With all the technological & medical advancements that is. For the first time we'll have 90 year old coders & internet users. I'm excited!

Yeah! Ass plugged for posterity and two taps on side. No nappies EVER again. Just plenty of prune juice. All residents sit on massage recliner and are hooked up to pipe leading to humongous container every morning. Then, once a week liquid muck spreader arrives with ice cream van chimes to great excitement. They are given a little plot in the flower garden which gets a squirt. Petals removed on a weekly basis for lab work. This saves an absolute fortune.
Liquid tanker departs to raucous cheering all round.

Anyone out there that knows a good patent lawyer?

I meant that maybe with all those advancements we wouldn't need to live in some nursing home?

SCOOP 64 · 17-04-2014 5:25pm

79 years , but couldn't answer medical questions,blood pressure etc.., so i doubt it.

looksee · 17-04-2014 5:27pm

95, that gives me another 28 years, sounds reasonable! I lied about my email addy, just made one up.

ScumLord · 17-04-2014 5:28pm

Mine started at 76 but it's been counting down by the second. It's only got ten seconds left, how accurate are these things?!!

86. Hope to be well demented by that stage, and making new friends everyday.

Frosty McSnowballs · 17-04-2014 5:56pm

84? 84!

That's bollox, sure I'm already dead.

The One Who Knocks · 17-04-2014 6:00pm

Seriously guys think about how different it will be an elderly person in say 40 - 50 years from now, maybe even less.

Ever hear of the Future Elderly Living Conditions in Europe study? Basically it says that the "disabled older adults of the future will fare better, on average, than those of today, both on a personal level, thanks to higher levels of education, and on a social level, thanks to the more frequent presence of their spouse and, at least potentially, their children."

I don't think our current generation will be as dependent when we're older, simply due to all the medical & technological advancements (3D Printed Organs & Cancer Immunotherapy for a start!) but even if we were, would it be so bad? Generally speaking we're a lot more educated, especially when it comes to computers & technology. We can build amazing things with our minds, access any music/movies/content we want instantly, and very soon we'll all be able to print anything.

Yeah, it sucks to be old now, but the future will be amazing, whether you're a vegetable or not. (provided we don't do something stupid like have a nuclear war/destroy the planet.)

98 years of age...in reality I want to live to be at least 100 but I'll take 98.

JONJO THE MISER · 17-04-2014 6:14pm

76:eek:

Calibos · 17-04-2014 6:17pm

87 which was the average for both sets of grandparents.

I have a feeling though that an 87 year old born in 1974 is more likely to see the lights stay on for at least the 13 years it takes to get to 100 than my 87 year old deceased grandparents born in the 1920's

IvyTheTerrible · 17-04-2014 6:21pm

99!

Sunnyisland · 17-04-2014 6:31pm

87 :-) 32 more years to go :-(

Medusa22 · 17-04-2014 7:16pm

84

Actual life expectancy:

Mid thirties :P

JuliusCaesar · 17-04-2014 7:22pm

98! and I'm over half way there already!

miss no stars · 17-04-2014 7:24pm

95. In one way comforting that I've another 70 years to get my shi.t together. In another way, I don't think I want to live to be 95.

Didn't think of it like that... so I've got 65 years left to write my award-winning novel, which I'll then adapt into an Oscar-winning screenplay. Loads of time!
