Default What would you do.

If some clever scientist came along and offered you a Pill which allowed you to live to 200 years of age in good condition ie able to walk unaided and have the body of your average 60 year old, would you take it ?.

One of the conditions would be that none of your family would be allowed to take part, would you be selfish enough to go ahead with it, bearing in mind you would out live your kids/wife etc before eventually croaking it.


would you?

Tempted to say yes, because you'd be there to help and look after them, but in practise it's gotta be no. The knowledge that'd you'd outlive them, could destroy relationships, there is a natural flow of things, you're not supposed to outlive your children.

I'd probably keep a bit quiet about taking the pill, tell the wife and kids I was very 'fragile' and get them to run round me a lot, then, once the kids were of working age, I'd take as much dough out of them as I possibly could, using the excuse that I was putting it in a safe place and investing it wisely to make sure they'd enjoy the benefits of an enormous inheritance.
This in itself would make them think I cared about them greatly and would encourage them to work harder and hand over more dough, cos after all, Dad knows best.
I'd spend a bit of it on the side, save the rest and then, once the buggers had all died off, I should have enough to keep me in fags, booze and whores for the remainder of my unnatural life.

Well. wouldn't everybody else do the same .....

Fist thing I'd do then is rob a few banks....

Shot or not - the pill allows me to live until 200 in good condition therefore I CANT be KILLED

Then Id stash my loot in offshore accounts and do what every active 60 year old does.............
