I think there is a part of all this increased life expectancy, live longer issue we arn't looking at. Do you really want to live for 150 years?
Currently (at least in the US) as the elderly grow older and older and live longer and longer, a significant increase in depression as well as other stress-related sicknesses were found amoung the elderly population. I have found my life to (so far) verry long, yet I am still a teenager. Living to be anywhere near 100 seems like such a longtime. I myself could never last that long or live that long.
I do realize that possbily in the future an 80year old will be equivelant to an 30 year old of today, but for now living past 80, where you are usually either to tired to do much, or just to grumpy, for another 20 years would be pure torture.
I kinda lost my own train of though, but I hope you can see where i am coming from. Living 200 years doing nothing for 70 of them, is much less exciting then living for 70 and spending every year to its fullest.

So I can see cars in Fallujah, but I can't even zoom in enough to see my house an hour from NYC. Come on Google :D
It has been done, at least for old Atari roms, it's called StarRoms.
