you must be joking

we doubled life expectancy in a century...just wait 4 centuries more and you'll get to your fetish 1000 years

Needlessly insulting, but correctly critical of the "...our technology has not..." premise.

No. Dying at 47 is fine by me.

I would prefer to live in an age of indefinite lifespans, but I'm also grateful for the few decades I've already received.

The older I get the less I care.

I do want to live old enough for my kids to become self sufficient adults. So yes 1000 sounds about right.

I want to live forever

But this world is incredibly broken - and extending lifespans (without the attendant expansion in birthing years, etc) can only create a self-collapsing system

Live how? Like today’s healthy 60 year olds: yes. Like today’s unhealthy 100 year old’s: probably not. Certainly, I’d prefer 500 years like today’s 60 year olds over that.

Quality beats quantity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year)

I'm a septuagenarian and the answer is no. When you are young you don't think about getting old. I mean, not just the decaying body, maybe that can be fixed, but's the "here we go again" of it all. After 1,000 years you would beg to die. Oh, and what if you didn't achieve much even in 1,000 years ...
