In certain phase of life IMO probably most of us think about death, but until we are able to became "pure intellects" who can switch from an artificial-biological body to another witch means live forever from the single human being point of view we will keep dying no matter how we try to change.
One thing too many forget is that being alive is not the single target. Being alive but for instance in a wheelchair might not be that desirable, and that the most stupid example. So we add new category of research to push for instance old age effects in the future, and since we can't do that much we just mock them up like "hey menopause can be nice with 'treatments'" or "hey thanks to analgesics we can ignore back pain, articular pain etc" masking them under the carpet and often if we mask too much shortening our active life.
The most important fact IMVHO is living to live, enjoying their life, and that's the issue: balancing the today/short term pleasure to the longer term ones. I have no recipe for that, probably an entire life is needed to find the right balance and once found that will not apply much for a younger self so the game began again.
