    You’re making it seem like everybody wants to get that old, and it’s a no brainer. Well, it isn’t. I don’t want to live forever. Life is perfectly fine the way it is, and maybe you’re just making things worse with your fear of nature.

      There have been studies done, and yes, people 50 years old usually say they don’t want to go over 80-90.

      Surprise, the 80-90 years old wasn’t at all interested in dying.

        No shit, nobody wants to actually go through the notion of dying? We should probably provide good counceling and prepare people for dying, instead of just getting rid of it.

              Because everything points to the fact that when you are 80, if you are in good health you don’t just like “want to die” all of a sudden.

              I tried to put you in the seat of someone healthy that, according you if I understand correctly, should get some 'death counselling ’ just because of a number, not something real.

              It just seems so very bizarre this whole idea of yours!
