Would you like to live for another 50 years?

Depends on the side effects. Not if it meant constipation, or turned you into a zombie.

But I'm not fed up with life just yet so yes, provided I could stay reasonably healthy and keep the marbles I've got now.

50 years longer? Or just 50% longer than they would have done without the drug - i.e. possibly 5-10 years longer?

I read in today's paper that a common drug that costs 10p a day may enable some people to live 50% longer. They will be starting trials on 70 and 80 year olds. Personally I would not want to live that much longer, would you?
