I guess I was assuming that it’s possible to have a good life in my 90’s. Your sample size of the 2 people seems a bit anecdotal. Know anyone famous in their 90’s?

Jimmy Carter

Henry Kissinger

Dick Van Dyke

Stan Lee

Chuck Yeager - broke the sound barrier

Anyway, that’s your choice. I suppose if we do learn how to treat aging to delay some of the symptoms, you can always change your mind.

It's more than just the two for reference. It's either dead or dying at that age for most people. In addition, my 94 year old neighbour is housebound and has leukaemia and just wishes someone would kill him. My grandmother is 93 and she can't even recognise any members of her own family any more and just wants to go to sleep forever. That's more the state of things.

The above are minor and major celebrities. They have a higher standard of care.

If we can increase quality of life significantly, I'm all for it but until then, shoot me when I get to 80.
