Why the fuck would anyone want to spend the last 30-50 years of their life in a shitty physical condition that will only get worse every day and probably destroy their mental condition as well?

If I can avoid pic related, I'd happily live for 307 years as a young man until getting hit by a truck or choking on a piece of bread.

I don't want to live forever but I also don't want to end up like pic related.

I've already accepted my death. What I don't accept is the fact that my body and mind will just keep getting worse and worse until I get hit by a cerebral infarction while home alone and then I get stuck in a wheelchair, other side of my body paralyzed, unable to speak, completely dependent on other people.

That at some point in the future there will be therapies that will make everyone physically young even though they might already be 30-100 years old. Then they will be given therapies to maintain their youth.

>I'm enthusiastically waiting to see how this whole "life" thing ends

Me too. But what I'm not enthusiastic about is the physical and mental degradation that is already under way (I'm 25). I don't want to end up like pic related. But then again if I reverse my aging at some point, I will have to live longer or an hero.

The point of these therapies is health, not immortality or longer lives.
