Wouldn't you WANT to die as young as possible, having had NO children, in order to be as minimally intrusive to the environment as possible? You should NOT be taking ANY kind of medication for ANYTHING - preventative or otherwise. It's just self-contradictory. Just a thought... | First, I'm not "determined to live the longest" as you put it. I understand that life ends when it ends, but I have enough of a conscience to know that it [death] should be by a natural means.
Second, if I'm dead I won't be able to spread my influence. Not to mention, your logic is just completely flawed. Why would I put the evolution of makind in the hands of people who don't give a shit about Mother Nature?
Third, I don't take medications (at least not pharmaceuticals). Many of those pills that people pop as remedies do more harm to one's immune system than help. I eat right and take herbal suppliments, and strengthen my immune system through excersize and mediation. Yes, it works. I really only get sick when I get too stressed.
That being said, I'd very much like to die young and I really don't plan on having kids. But that could change (much to your dismay, I'm sure).
