Hell no... I can accomplish all of my life goals by 75 and die happy at 80.

I don't want to spend my final years being wheeled around by a nurse and suffering from dementia.

It just says age followed by a number, but there's no mention of years. I'm using a secret unit of measurement.

No, there is no need for that. I would like to accomplish a few things and then have a few decades to just enjoy everything. If that means that i will die in my 70s then i will be absolutely happy. I don't want to see my physical and mental health decline

Absolutely not. I'm already very tired of living and pretty much just keep doing it because of the effect it would have on my parents if I took my own life. Assuming I'm still around once they're gone, I won't be for long. And I'm only 25 - I truly cannot bear even the thought of another 75 years of this.

I don't particularly like the idea of dying or living. What's the third option?

Only to 100? No.

Given health and continued function, I'd be glad for a very long existance. Gimme my cyborg body!

Kind of in the same boat, it's very hard to understand someone with motivations of living so long. Then again, if you have a fulfilling interest or passion in life, I suppose that all the time in the world wouldn't be enough for you.

Probably not as long as I live a happy life and do everything I wanted to do.

If I'm still healthy and still have my mental faculties, then I'd be happy to live that long. Otherwise, I would prefer to check out while I'm still of a sound mind.

If I could be guaranteed to keep all my faculties an stay in reasonably good health, then yes. But that's unlikely, so most probably not.
