How would life change if we all could live to be 200?

Asked by LostInParadise (31919points) March 6th, 2009

I am assuming that we could maintain an active life for most of that time. It seems to me that life would be drastically different. Children would play a much smaller role, because there would be proportionately far fewer of them. I imagine that career changes and changes of marital partner would be accepted and maybe even institutionalized. Maybe people would sign marriage contracts for 50 years with an option for renewal. And how would one relate to the additional generations of living family members?
