Someone might live long enough to be smart enough to realize a solution o global warming and over population thus creating an answer to the problems and everyone could live until they where 800.

Negative 1. Over population 2. Not enough food/ space 3. The fountain of youth would be so valuable that people would kill for it 4. The wrong people might get it 5. It's completely against nature and when you go against nature bad things happen

Setting: Middle class suburbia, a depressing dump of a town. Lots of drugs and everyone there dreams of leaving. There are a couple of big factories that employ most of the people in town. The towns going nowhere, it's a dead end. The main character spends most of his time in his basement which is even more of a dump then the town. It's not furnished, the floor is concrete and for a bed he has a pull out couch. The room is covered in chip bags and wrappers from various mass produced food. It's insanely dirty and dimly lit, there are a couple of small windows which are at ground level don't let in much light. The place reeks of pot and old food. There is a faint glow though which comes from the water from the fountain of youth which is hidden under his couch/bed.

The Main Conflict: The main conflict is man v. himself. He is trying to do something in his life but he keeps stopping himself. His will power is too weak and he ends up losing the battle.
