I totally reject that view.

I believe that every moment is special.

I don't believe I would be enjoying this conversation with you anymore if I could live 200 years.

I'm loving the moment.

And so I believe that we get up with purpose.

And if I lived for 1,000 years, I'd still enjoy every day that I lived.

And even 1,000 years one day may be seen as too short.

You know, it's 20 times my age, a little bit less than 20.

That's still not very much in the grand scheme of the age of geology and the Earth.

We still are around like that.

And so I think that we will still love life.

Most of us will still love life and enjoy every moment, but we'll get more opportunities.

We can try multiple careers.

Maybe we will get divorced and have a whole new life.

So there will be opportunities, and it will be a magnificent world, not to mention the productivity that humans can provide with the knowledge of a 50 or 80-year-old, but with the body of a 30-year-old.

Well, I think we have a problem already with the decisions that a lot of couples are making, which is leaving it too late.

It's very clear with the fertility rate and the rate of childbirth that basically we're going off a cliff.

And I think that...

It's going to be important to be able to give couples and women especially the choice to have children for longer.

And that's one of the reasons that I work on this topic is that I think that the world, with all of the training that we need to do and the pressures on finding a mate and being happily married or at least being partnered up, that can take decades to get the right person.
