Accepting an inevitable death with dignity and grace is great and a blessing, but when we've got other options, we take them. I go to the doctor when I'm sick, I get vaccinated when there's a plague, I'll let surgeons cut me open if something is going very wrong inside, and if there were a magic "stop aging" pill, I'd take it, and I suspect you'd find nearly everyone else would indeed have that kind of ego.
