Gettin old ain't for sissies but it beats the other choice.
I can see that this will not always be the case.

Did ya ever truly think it would be?

Hah, with the 'longevity' ads all over, you'd think living to be 150 was everyone's goal.

Only the goal of rich old Globalists, who enjoy gargantuan piles of unearned money and a phalanx of servants, maids, medical people, kitchen staff, to see to their every need.

I don't want to make 150 I'm not even halfway there, and moving around is becoming moar than pain, even. So much of my daily routines, my pleasures, involved physical activity - simple stuff, bicycling to places I needed to be; hiking; enjoying various attractions and historical sites. Photography - which of course involves GETTING somewhere, including sometimes climbing.

Now my spine is shot, my shoulder is messed up, I have to watch my diet, and I'm starting to lose my vision.

While the world implodes around me. While I wait for the day I can't defend against the Malthusians or find work-arounds.

No, I do not want to live to 150. Even if healthy, I doubt I would. Just the loss of various carnal pleasures - food, drink, women - that comes with older years, makes me not want to preserve this part of my life. Everything is transitory and life has stages, I get that. I don't want to preserve the worst stage.
