I think the ideal scenario would be to live a long healthy enjoyable life and then take a break for a century or so and be re-animated to enjoy another life and so on. I don't think I would want to live forever if I could not take a bread once in a while.......
Bill Maris has $425 million to invest this year, and the freedom to invest it however he wants. He's looking for companies that will slow aging, reverse disease, and extend life.

“There are a lot of billionaires in Silicon Valley, but in the end, we are all heading to the same place,” Maris says. “If given the choice between making a lot of money or finding a way to make people live longer, what do you choose?”

People are starting to realize what I have been saying for years now.
BioViva Treats First Patient with Gene Therapy to Reverse Aging
Well its starting! I will keep a eye on this.
BioViva USA, Inc. has become the first company to treat a person with gene therapy to reverse biological aging, using a combination of two therapies developed and applied outside the United States of America. Testing and research on these therapies is continuing in BioViva’s affiliated labs worldwide.
It all sounds good on the surface, but I wouldn't want to live forever. For one thing, just because you stopped aging and look and feel 21 forever doesn't mean you'll live forever. There are circumstances beyond our control that would eventually cause our demise. Traffic accidents, plane crashes, terrorism, wars, etc....I firmly believe if one lives long enough, you're going to be faced with one of those situations.
I also think about this. Because we all know that our lives are only for a short time, it makes it a bit easier to deal with the loss of a loved one. It's hard enough to have known a loved one for, say, 80 years, and then they pass, but could you imagine having a loved one for 3000 years, and one day, some tragic accident kills them? That would be much tougher for me to deal with. To know that I've seen this person for thousands of years, and the next thing you know, you'll never see them again? That's tough.
I don't want to ever outlive my son. I really don't want to outlive my wife nor any of my friends. I hate the thoughts of my parents dying. But I'd say, if my friends and family, including myself, could all live forever and be 21 years old forever, then I wouldn't want it to be in this world. It would have to be in paradise.
Forever is a LONG time. Our minds cannot truly comprehend thousands of years, to say nothing about millions, billions, trillions, ect. years.
Personally I wouldn't mind doing a couple hundred (with a good body) but I highly doubt the human mind can even retain it's sanity for much longer than that.

That is why you, also, become transhuman. That is what will make it possible. Also, if I was going to only live on this planet I would agree it would get boring in about 200 years but look at how big the universe is.
