Statistically, I'll die in my mid-70s (although I'm being slightly disingenuous in saying that), but I never understood why we strive to live so old anyway. After a while, what can you do? Many older people already rot in nursing homes. Perhaps if you've built something of significant value like a company or family that you want to see as long as possible it makes sense, but how will achieve that?
