live to the age of 100 and retain either the body or mind of a 30 year-old for the last 70 years of your life, which would you want?

Body. I would want the knowledge you get growing older.

That's a hard one...but definitely the mind. One of my fears is going crazy or forgetting everything in my old age.

a body. the mind grows and thats the beauty of an aging mind.
unless you mean keeping the mind young to avoid diseases, etc.

hard to say... I'm partial to having a mind of a 30 year old, but with a body of a 100 year old, one may not be able to do much. One would literally be trapped. But the body of a 30 year old with the mind of a 100 year old may only allow me to be a kept houseboy and nothing more...

even if your mind might deteriorate over time?
personally, i would choose mind... i try to keep myself in shape, eat healthy, take a one-a-day vitamin everymorning, and shower with Ivory soap... my body will do what it naturally will do given the environment i keep it in... and Matt? pumpkin heaven is part of that environment!!!

I want the body of a 30 year old. Anyone know of a nice, Jewish 30 year old guy who likes older women?

Mind here as well. As my nana taught me beauty fades dumb is forever!
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I would want the body just as long as there are some good Alzheimers medications available to me by then

I find it incredibly difficult to believe - but I honestly think I would prefer the body (and mind, I assume) of the 30 year old.
Naturally this comes from personal experience. Mentally I recall being very bright, if not particularly experienced at 30. I was still learning and this combined with good health made life exciting and fun.
During the last couple of years I have experienced a lot of physical degression. I have great difficulty doing things that I always assumed I would be doing late into life. I am losing my eyesight (the hardest to accept) and have a lot of difficulty walking. Walking, reading, and theatre have always been the highlights of my life. So now you see why I pick the physical over the mental!

Mind, I've seen too many old people who just don't seem to be totally there. It freaks me out to think it might happen to me.

Body. Don't mind going crazy. Already halfway there.

This is a very good question, Joey. I would have to say mind because I have an insane fear of diseases, and Alzheimer's is one of the most scary things for me. I couldn't watch myself go stupid, I honestly would rather die.

I'd take the mind. That way, I could invent something that would make my body 30 again. :)
