KU Extended Lifespan on Society and Personal Preferences Discussion

I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

Assume that in the next 10 years, scientists will identify the specific causes of aging and will be able to significantly lengthen the lifespan. What kinds of impact would this have on our society?

How long would you want to live, ideally? Can you put an actual number on your desired length of life, or is it based on factors other than age? Discuss why you feel the way you do.
