Why the f* not.
My in-laws are over 95. They refuse to go to an elderly home and as a result make everyone miserable, starting with themselves and inflicting infinite suffering on their children who each have a family of their own, and need to take care of them all of the time.
I don't want to do that to my own children. I don't want to not die. I don't esp. want to die but I'm not really afraid of it, it's just a normal part of life.
Preventing heart disease is probably a good thing, but if one prevents every ailment conceivable then how does this work eventually?
- CapitalistCartr 1y agoYou're almost certainly going to die by or before 110, anyway. (Ir)Regardless of your efforts, or lack thereof, our bodies typically give out in the 100-110 year range with very few exceptions.
