Primary reason for wishing longevity is to see what happens next. Will we walk on Pluto's moons? Will we achieve FTL travel? Will we figure out how to blow ourselves up? Who will my grandchildren choose to marry? Also the chance to reinvent ourselves at will. Counter this with loss of friends and family, boredom, and the doubt that I have the true inner resources to capitalize on extended life.
But please don't take this as rationale to let go of any of our favorite people. We've already lost Allianna once.
