If You Could Go Back & Be 20 Years Younger, But Die 20 Years Sooner Than You Would Have Originally, Would You?

[HacheMan]

Sorry guys but I often think of weird things like this haha.

The immediate logical answer is probably YES, since you would virtually be living the same amount of years as you would have anyhow, and enjoy the benefit of living 20 much younger years vs the 20 of an older age you gave up.

BUT... Once that 20 years were over, you would have to deal with worrying about possibly dropping dead any day now at a much younger age.

Am I overthinking it or is the answer Yes without a doubt?

This is totally a question that you only ask when you're stoned out of your mind. But since you asked, the question is essentially would you rather regain your youth or not? No brainer, of course. We're all gonna die very soon anyway, why would you not live this life in a younger body?

Why is this even a question? You're living the same amount of years, but younger.

I've never done drugs & never will.

As I explained initially I agree with you that the logical answer is yes, you swap those 20 older years for 20 younger ones.

But the more I think about it, the more I think you regret it once those 20 years are over, especially depending on your age then.

Also I hear from many old people they are happy in their old age.
So that makes me wonder even more how one would deal with it afterwards.

It's all hypothetical anyhow so I feel kind of stupid explaining again...

Yes.

Dying 20 years younger is worth all the changes you could make in others lives and your own.

That is if you can come back with the same mindstate as now.

25 is better than 45.

do I get all the Hair I lost in the past 20 years, Back ??

 

[guil0000]

I think it's mostly a matter of the quality of life you have at the moment

 

[JakeT.]

Do you have any memory of the years after you were that age if you go back? That seems key.

 

[shdw01]

Am I 20 years younger in 2014 or am I going back to 1994?

if I am in 2014 but younger then why not? I can't even think of a reason to be old vs young

Why is this even a question? You're living the same amount of years, but younger.

but do you miss out on grand kids? or maybe retirement

although I concede the same length of life but younger is probably the option I'd take
