If you lived to 150 years would you have to go into hiding?

Lets say a human goes past the normal life expectancy by a decent amount of years, lets say125-150years.

Apart from claiming how this might be possible what about the physical appearance of the person,

and such everyday things that he/she might have to encounter?

Okay, I cleaned up this thread to give it a second chance. It's an interesting subject that deserves to be discussed.

@TimeFlipper , as you're the one who turned it into a joke, which then started an argument with Mayhem, I'm blocking you from replying to this thread from now on.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Let's be excellent to each others.

I thought about this thread while watching a vampire movie. Eternal life, and all... :)

If you didn't want to become a sideshow attraction, you'd need to maintain a low profile somehow. Relocating every decade or so.

You'd also have to factor in the diminished quality of life that often comes with old age. Would you need someone to care for you?

Imagine the world changing around you, feeling foreign to you after so many years. You'd likely outlive your own children, everyone you loved... What would be the point of life after that? As Wind said, you'd be so lonely.

Unless you had a companion who also lived an abnormally long life. :) Hypothetical talk anyways, right?

Exactly.

Funny that you mention a 'Vampire Movie'.

I was first going to mention 'Interview With A Vampire' as an example. :)


Could you imagine.....Living that long?
Egads.....imagine alllllll the hobbies one would need!
