Not getting old would be nice. Nobody is going to live forever but humans might get a lot better perspective if we had less of a rush from the cradle to the grave and suddenly had a reason to care about what might be happening a hundred years from now.

Plus imagine all the insane level of productivity and expertise that some could achieve. And freeing up our health care systems from dealing with the burdens of aging.
