Would you like to live forever?

Or at least double your lifespan?
I just watched a TED talk by Cynthia Kenyon of research I'd read about years ago, but her fascinating talk delved more into some of the details that I wasn't aware of. Very nice.

As this talk is now a couple of years old I wonder how it has since progressed.

Afterwards, reading the comments I noticed a link to a questionaire: Would you like to live forever? I'm amazed that people seem pretty evenly divided between yes and no. Though at only 36 votes it is not really a usable sample.
