Keeping in mind that everyone else around you that you love would die at their 'normal' time, if you could swallow a pill that will cause your life to be extended by another 100 years would you want to out live them if you could and why or why not?
I'd probably take it. Life is a nice thing, why not extend it if you can?
I don't know the mentality of people as they get older, but as I see my father - he's 48 and he's able to make some friends of 20 years old. I don't see why, when I would be 170 or older, I couldn't make some new friends every once in a while of 70. Well, that's quite a difference between the differences( ), but unless your wisdom grows beyond measure when you get older and is nothing compared to the younger people, I would accept it.
I would have to have a very very good reason to want to outlive my loved ones. I sure can't think of one right now. Personally, I'm longing for my Heavenly Home these days... Looking forward to seeing my family that has gone before me.

I am not sure. I would definately be tempted. I want to live forever, but I can't imagine outliving my son or my grandson. That is something I do not want to do. I don't want to live to see either of them die. That would be more pain than I think the extra years would be worth.
Hmmm this is a very hard question. Part of me says that I will not want to live after my loved ones are already gone, but other part says I may but because of how the world have become, I doubt I would want to extend my days on this Earth.
I wouldn't. It's hard enough now, and I'm ready to be Home for good. I agree with your, LDS, that I wouldn't want to continue on because of how things are getting in our world. Every day the corruption of society is growing, and the hate and the violence just keeps getting worse. Plus, as it's been said, I wouldn't want to outlive all the people I love. I would rather be up there in Heaven with them, and most importantly with God.
I would take two of them if they let me. In my belief the kingdom of heaven is not just a location after you die. It is also found within ones self. Seeing my son die or his son as well would be hard to deal with. Tragic yes, but this is the way of things. He will die wether I take the pill or not.
With another 100 years to learn and think and experience things would be awesome.
