What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
To each his own.
I personally hope that isn’t in the cards for me. I can’t wrap my head around being old and unable to move or do anything. Is it a quality of life argument or a personal preference? Plenty of people enjoy their old age and all their friends and family while sitting and being cared for. There is plenty of life in that.
I might have an issue with not being useful but even that is subject to opinion. People are useful or not useful whether they move about or not. Moving and being mentally with it, don’t really determine usefulness.
I practically had an existential crisis over this prompt. I have no desire to live to be 100. Zero. I do want to live fully right now. I do want as much quality as I can pack in. I’m learning that my idea of life quality is not everyone’s. I know my opinion of this could easily change, but for now, my thoughts are, I’d rather not get so old that I can’t add anything. So no to living very long, no to life support, DNR. when I’m done , I’m done.
as long as I’m active…I even have an issue with pacemakers…if I need medical science to just stay alive, pull the plug. I’m not going to pick an age, because who knows…my paternal mom and dad are in their 90s and not doing so bad…it should be all about living well, not forever…
