What makes life worth living to you?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) May 16th, 2010

Galapagos turtles live 150 years give or take. Would you give up the brainpower to think about yourself and your place in the Universe to gain another 75 years or so of life? How about being a bristlecone pine tree? They live 10,000 years, but as far as we know have no sense of even existing, no brain, no thinking at all. What qualities of being alive would you be willing to trade off to gain a longer life span?
