[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not age, it's health. The ideal (which is of course very rare) is to remain healthy for a long life, then die after a short but not painful illness. If your 89 year old month needs care, then by definition she is in declining health.[/quote] I agree. You used to just drop dead of strokes and heart attacks. Now it's this loooooong decline into senility. Most people who reach very old ages will spend at least a decade in poor healthy. Usually nothing is wrong with them, just their bodies and minds don't work as well as they used to. I personally think 90 would be a nice year. [/quote] My in-laws are doing all sorts of rigid diets and obsessed with brain and physical aging hacks. Outcomes not so different than others their age. So I think I’d also not want a restricted lifestyle to add ten years of declining health anyway. [/quote]
