A nice article. I wonder how it would have been written if, via different medical means, people can literally turn back the clock on their cells and go back to whatever age they want? Billions are being invested in those studies right now and a few procedures have reached the point where they are beginning human trials already.

I remember a long time ago getting into some discussion with a roommate about the Elves from Tolkien's universe and how their own conception of time and happiness was touched upon on a few occasions in The Silmarillion and the trilogy itself because they pretty much live forever (all other factors held equal). He thought they'd have been a lot happier in a more modern society than Middle-Earth, but then they'd never leave their houses.

We would need psychiatric drugs that would create a sense of novelty when there is none.

If I get life-threatening cancer, I'm going to let it run its course. No need to go to all lengths to stay alive.

Didn't you just find out you're gonna have another leach for 18 years? I think you're kinda stuck with being responsible for that.

If I live to 61, I'll be happy. That'll make my youngest 18.

As someone who lost one of their parents at 18. If you think that's good enough you suck.
