My grandfather died at 99 years old. He was able to work his land until 98, lived a full life and died with no regrets.
Your grandfather was much luckier than most.
Ageing is not the problem. The problem is that we are nowhere close to treating chronic diseases like cancer or heart diseases.
Very few 25 year olds suffer from cancer or heart disease.

People would live in binary conditions. Healthy or dead. Unlike today people are left hanging in between, without total cure, and at the same time without good quality of life after treatment. Organ transplants in my country(India) and other fatal diseases are worse than death. In fact death is more preferable than miserable conditions where a person is half cured. Its like the body wants to die, but is just chemically alive. Its expensive too. This is the biggest failure of current day medicine.
