I'm feeling like the science of genetics will at least make us able to live WAY longer than what we know of now.

absolutely possible. Hell, life extension drugs are in the clinical trials phase.

would see the results, but in 500 years (provided we don't kill ourselves) radical, indefinite life extension WILL exist.

long term (500 years) or it will never be available?

You get run over by a school bus.

This is a bit silly. If we were able to reverse the effects of aging (which may not happen for anyone alive today, but it will definitely happen sometime in the next 500 years) I think getting hit by a school bus is not going to be a major problem.

Sure if we were able to reverse the effects of aging 14 years from now and you got hit by a school bus 17 years from now you're probably still dead.

But if we were able to reverse the effects of aging 14 years from now I don't think you'd have to worry about getting hit by school buses 400 years from now (and even if it was still a problem, emergency medicine 400 years from now would probably still be able to save you).

of this steaming pile.
I am 61, and having seen things change, even recently, am getting to the point where I want no part of it.
Just let me alone, and let me end my existence.
It's just not comfortable any more. Not when I see my favorite people die, and them being replaced with far inferior ones.
Not when the "music" of today is anything but music.
Not when I see my old stomping grounds undergo gentrification.
It's just unreal.
ALL things must end. Even people!

and to the point of ready for death. i do not want to live forever, only as long as I'm healthy enough to go fishing. I'm pretty sure the after life is going to be exactly like the before life.

If the planet is destroy be silly humans. Better we spent our time trying to fix the world!

Transhumanism might be a thing, but have fun never retiring, and being the AI running a moon shuttle for the next 3.5 billion years.
