What if you could live to be 1,000?

Ok, check out this article.  The gist of it is that there's a scientist claiming that within 25 years, we might have the capacity to virtually do away for the aging process, perhaps extending the human lifespan to 1,000 years or more.

What do you think about this?  Would you want to live forever?  What about population control?  Getting a job if no one has to retire until they're 900?  Is it natural?  What other issues would arise from this?

I know you're all thoughtful, intelligent people, so I'd love to hear what you think!  Discuss.
