It's not so simple. If we could be like in the famous Alphaville song, longevity seems exciting. Imagine. on the other hand, that you are senile, can hardly move, and have a multitude of ailments in addition to your main disease. No wonder many old people don't perceive death as an unfortunate event, on the contrary. Also, I think there is an Eastern proverb, "Miserable people pass away easily."
- Nursie 4y agoI doubt that all that many old people welcome it, somehow. And that’s not what’s being suggested either - rather more years of active life, more time to enjoy the world.
- nradov 4y agoI suggest that we should all have starships and time machines. So what. Suggestions are meaningless without at least a scientifically plausible path.
