I'm with you Susan. Longevity doesn't seem worth the trade offs -- decades of potential loneliness, financial burdens, limited mobility, becoming the neighborhood Cat Hoarder, the list goes on.
While I think some silence in our life is useful, decades of it may feel more like a prison term to me.
Is the human body really meant to live that long? And because we can live that long, does it mean we should?
When it comes to living, I think I'm more for quality over quantity. What would be the advantages of living to be 150 or 120? Any thoughts?
