What Happens When The Average Lifespan Is 150 Years? by schoolhelpng(m): 9:07pm On Oct 17, 2016

"It was reported today in The Age newspaper that scientists believe they will have a drug within the next 5-10 years that will extend the average human lifespan to 150 years.

Given the retirement age is 65, that would give you an extra 85 years, meaning you would probably have to extend the average working life to 100 or 120 years to prevent the economy becoming totally unbalanced and pensions running out.

That assumes that the life extension is all 'good years', and not a prolonged period of dementia and physical decline. Would you want to live to 150?

What do you see as being the most likely issues and what do you think you would do with all the extra years?"
