Who wouldn't want to live longer? I personally want to live longer only if we just do not grow old and suffer the effects of old age like appearance issues, weakening, organ problems, and all the things associated with it.

If people would live longer and not age much it will be a problem when supposing a bad person live longer too like bad dictators, communists, and basically evil people. So sometimes not living long is beneficial for all of us.

But again it is just sad that we only live for a short amount of time and if we are lucky enough we could live past the average age of people who dies of around 75+ or so and living beyond that point is quite hard too because most of the people whom we love or knew already passed away.

Next was the Geoduck it can live for up to 160 years. It is a saltwater clam known for its very long siphon and is a delicacy for some people.

Finally the longest living animal was a species of Jellyfish named as the Immortal Jellyfish or "Turritopsis Dohrnii" which truly is an immortal animal as its life cycle is different because after it reproduces it reverts back into a polyp stage and gets to live its life over and over which is truly mind-boggling if it would happen to humans or even other animals for that matter.
