"I'd like to live longer, maybe, but not forever."

For me, the "maybe" qualifier was the key. A nice little backdoor exit to a question I'm not sure I can really answer at this young an age.

As well, my family has a tendency to live longer than the average lifespan. If the "longer" is comparative to the average lifespan, then I at least want as much as is genetically likely for me. Even if we're talking "longer than I would otherwise live barring supernatural intervention", I think I'd still go for it. I just like to see the way things happen and change in the world, and I'd be game for a little more of that. Of course, the last time I saw my great-grandmother (last summer), she was 105 years old and very frustrated when both my uncle and I told her that we worked with computers. In her words, "I don't know computers. They must be very useful devices, since everyone seems to use them so much!" I'm not completely sure that I would want to outlive my ability to comprehend the changes in the world around me, although she was still quite happy, and her family always brought her pleasure -- which I would be willing to live an extra decade or two for. I just don't think I'd want to outlive my children, and especially not my grandchildren. I think that this would create the boundary for my desired lifespan extension.
