Reply to comment by ProfessorGluttony in No one seems to realize that if we “End aging” we are destined to spend most of that time alone, trapped or crushed, or floating through space, barely remembering anyone or anything that happened to you. by Thedaulilamahimself
This is a big one. If we do halt aging, people will still reach a point where they want to die, as morbid as that may be. We don't know the psychological impact of near immortality and not to sound like a pessimist but I don't think it'll be good

For most people probably. Hell, most I ask whether they would like to live forever or not say no.
I imagine those would be the ones that would snap lol
Me? Live forever or die trying.

Ending aging does mean immortal or even near immortal, it's 300 years, give take. The mice had 3 times life span

Okay, so biblical ages. Still a really long time to live and we still don't know what it would do to our psychology

Yeah of course but the question of 300 years to heat death of the universe are extremely different questions
