Doctors say that in 10 years' time, humans will be able to live and work until the age of 120.
I do not want to do that

Another problem is how we are going to make people work until 120???
I mean people aged 50+ are already finding it hard to gain employment in the current market and they only have to work until they're in their 60's or 70's... so, if your company goes into administration in your late 40's, you either go self employed or you're on the scrap heap.
IF you want people in work until the age of 120, then there needs to be a major rethink of the whole job market and employees need to be trained - not only to do other tasks related to their current job, but to give them skills that make them desirable to other employers should they lose their current job.
Given our government's current thinking of "A job is a job", these people will be forced into either cleaning or delivering for UberEats. While I'm not saying that these are bad jobs to do... would they be too demanding for an 80 or 90 year old to do???
