Nature is done with us by the time we're 40.
Medical science has done wonders in extending lifespan - in fact few remember today that when the retirement age was set at 65 most people did not live that long. The trouble is that little has improved in terms of what condition you're usually in towards the end.
I'm reminded of an episode of 3rd Rock From The Sun where the character Dick Solomon (the High Commander), told that smoking will take years off his life, responds: "Yes, but that's off the end of your life and those years are crappy anyway."
No idea what I'll do when the time comes. Taking that long swim in the ocean might be one way to deal with the problem.
