Let's start with something fascinating — the idea of living far longer than ever before. I'd love to hear what you really think about all this.

“If a treatment existed today that could genuinely rejuvenate your body by twenty years, would you take it? Why or why not?”

“Do you personally believe extreme longevity is something worth pursuing, or does it worry you?”

“Have you ever known someone who stayed remarkably sharp and energetic well into old age? What was their secret?”

“Imagine immortality actually became feasible — how do you think it would change human ambition and relationships?”

“Would you rather live to a healthy 90 or a frail 130? What makes the difference for you?”

Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
