ya, i'm optimistic there'll be medical advances by then that'll allow us to live insanely long. and 120 is just a number I threw out there. really, i want to die when I'm so old that I'm just barely able to move. then someone can strap my skis on, tie the poles to my arms, haul me up the mountain, and send me off. actually, that'd be painful, I'd wanna die nice and peacefully in my sleep just after watching a sick ski movie (remember this'll be when i'm too old to move).
