Hypothetical.
A solution is found for telomere replication errors, effectively doubling your lifespan. you'll now live to about 160, all aging effects halved, as we know them now.

How would you change your approach to how you live your life, what would you start doing/ doing differently once the treatment was given and took hold.

I don't know that I would do much of anything differently. I'm also not convinced I'd take advantage of the treatment. I'm not that attached to this world that I'd want to spend another 120 years here.

Ah yes, suicide by boredom ... Well, I suppose if I could be guaranteed a healthy longer life, and the income to spend, I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the world. I still haven't made it to New Zealand ...

no guarantee, it's just like now- it doesn't offset month long shake and oreo binges. Just reduces the rapidity with which you age.

Auckland or Christchurch first?

I was thinking Christchurch and the Southern Island, then up North.
