IMHO we should focus on quality of life. Not quantity.

Yeah, dying from cancer sounds like a great life. You're just babbling.
35 is too young, and I really do feel for anyone in that situation.

But cancer when you're over 60? That's basically just dying of old age...

It's still awful and hugely expensive and unpredictable. If you don't want anyone over 60, let's get people living healthy 'til 60 and then go all Logan's Run - it's horrifying, but only more horrifying than the current situation because we're a little bit used to the current situation. And maybe we'll find that we don't need to.
