Nothing wrong of course in having such a wish, as it may be the case
for, e.g., cryonic tourists. Nor, say, in adopting even far-fetched,
experimental or high-risk life-extension, rejuvenation, or, for that
matter, enhancement, strategies.

What I would contend does not sound not very transhumanist IMHO is
accepting an *aggravation* of the current limits of human performance
in exchange for some marginal increase of one's lifespan as if it were
an uncondtional bargain.

If anything, I would feel more inclined to jump on technologies and
strategies which promise to push such limits further away even at the
risk of being the proverbial candle burning at both end (see the
Forbidden Planet or Blade Runner).
