If I lived to be 1000, I'd probably have to work for 980 years of my life. No thanks!

I haven't seen Gattaca before. Is it about extending human life? If it is, I'll rent it tonight. I agree with cloning to replace organs, but at the same time when we start living this long I think it starts getting into the "Playing God role."
