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.
