Hey you keep yourself in good condition and 30 years should be easy. Remember medical science is progressing and regenerative medicine is on a number of frontiers that could ****** the aging process, growing organs will be common in the next 20 years or so, artificial blood is on the horizon, artificial spleens are so close it's incredible. Lol sorry if that sounds silly but I have a degree in biology and I read a lot of journals. Truth is if we take care then our lives could be prolonged well beyond 100, and of course the more time that goes by the more we can be fixed.

I'm sure in my time the illness I have will be addressed, eventually, it gives me hope anyway to think one day it'll be cured

Maybe one day I'll get to live my dream of seeing the world and maybe, possibly moving to either Canada or the USA, some remote place with lots of trees where I can think, indulge my hobbies and live quietly. Ahh well it's good to dream
