@SW-User I wouldn't mind seeing age 100...IF I am still in good heath and mental capacity (I couldn't imagine living beyond that much though).

I'm going by my parents experiences. Dad was like the walking dead for the last 5 years of his life. And my mom died from complications of alzheimers. I want to die sooner than they did and not suffer like my mom did being bed ridden with broken hips for a month. What a terrible way to go, suffering for a month. 😕

@SW-User I understand that...My mom had dementia and my dad suffered with a heart that only worked at 10-15%. I wouldn't want to be that way.
