Depends on the quality of life and whether I would have to spend it alone.

Only if the average life expectancy has increased to 200. C':

Actually, in my Health textbook, it's expected of the average life expectancy of this century to be 100 years due to improvements in medicine and such.

Pretty scary to think that the average life expectancy used to be 30 years for humans. 8O

I'm planning on living to the age of 150.

And for a very good reason.

When my next to the oldest brother died approximately 1.5 years ago, my younger brother's wife wrote his obituary. It was a very poorly done obituary with a number of mistakes and very poor grammar.

I figure that if I live to be 150 years old, she'll be dead by then and won't be able to write my obituary.

Just in case I die earlier, I've been thinking of writing my own obituary and passing it around to others in the family as well as the local preacher so that they can use it instead her poor rendition of an obituary.
