What would be really interesting is if we could trade lifespan in exchange for additional inches to our height. Most people would take it!

Are these years at the end of your life added on? Or like in the middle? 2 more years where I stay more or less as I am now I might give up an inch or two, but 2 more years in diapers at the end ... nah I'm good.

To get to the meat of the question, I assume these would be healthy years, not just extra senility. If you offered me that deal, I'm definitely gonna be a really prodigiously long-lived dwarf.

I do not fear death or the afterlife so I don't necessarily want to have that longer lifespan. Especially since i have no way of knowing how those 2 years are going to be spent... they could be total agony

As a 6' woman, I can get away with slamming the button a good few times and probably be better off all around
