These people that want to live in their 80s or beyond boggle me. Who wants to stick around that long when you have so many contemporaneous failures of the body all crashing down on you? Better to just die catastrophically in your early to mid 70s and save yourself a drab decade or two.
- solveit 5y agoSome people are healthier in their 80s than others in their 60s. The point is to be healthy for as long as possible.
- avalys 5y agoIf you're not careful, your body will start failing at age 65 and you'll live a drab decade until croaking at 75. If you want to avoid that, and want to stay healthy and vibrant until 75, you have pretty much the same goals as someone who wants to live to 95.
