Old age is not natural.

It just doesn't happen in the wild where the lifestyle is healthy and every animal is physically fit and active.

We, on the other hand, propped up by modern medicine, live way past our sell-by dates like shriveled brown leaves clinging to branches of trees in the harshness of winter.

It's not natural.

"Old" is just a term. Someone may be "old" as far as age is concerned, but they could look and feel many years younger. Of course, it depends on lots of factors such as the type of life you live, if you take care of yourself, etc.

We are also not in control of how long we live.

@SubstantialKick We should not be in control of how long we live. Let the body decide. If it doesn't even when you are running out of money and no longer financially viable, you need to shut it down.
