16 more years

That's four more presidential terms. I'm really excited about all these longevity discoveries, because the longer we live, the more medicine will help us live longer. And if they're being worked on now, then they'll be available in, say, a decade. And that's basically when I'll want to start seeing 'em. Anders Sandberg has already done a lot of thinking about life extension, and I of course agree with him that it's a good thing. I'm not sure I understand people who argue that putting off death cheapens human life. Entropy will get us all in the long term.
