Say there was a treatment, or small set of treatments, that not only knocked off 10 years of wear and tear physiologically, but then actively boosted the body's repair mechanisms adding another 50 years. How many would take the option?

Most people here kid themselves they have a genuine relationship until the money stops, genuine ones will be similar ages and who wants that

"How long do you want to live?"

 

Until I'm in constant pain, can't remember who my own wife and kids are or need constant care. It's then time to go.

You need to go before then

experience of what i can see

 

That's what he said.

You can only 'see' what you think that you understand. Those of us who live differently, see it differently. Connect with people differently. That's not something that you can fathom.

You move only in a small circle.

Not at all.

 

Part of growing old is some pain, some memory loss and needing help some of the time.

 

When it becomes constant, that's when it's time to go. In my opinion, of course.

Don't kid yourself, let's use you as an example, how old are you vs your wife or girlfriend? financially how much does she contribute vs you, a % will do

ah you've not experienced what we are referring to, normal growing old with aches and pains isn't the issue

I have experienced what I was referring to. Many times. That's why I posted my opinion.

As I wrote before, you can only see things in the way that your limited experience extends. The financials depends on how much we earn in comparison to one another. If I earn more, I contribute more. if we earn similarly, we share. If they earn a lot more, it varies 😊

But in no way am I expected to pay for everything and I don't ever give money to women. That's for wives to run the household and to take care of the children. Not ever a girlfriend and most certainly not to avail myself a sexual partner. That's just pathetic and sad.

There is a HUGE distinction between taking care of your family and the sad sacks who don't have enough social skills to connect with a woman without paying for her company. Saying that, I would always offer to pay for a first date and even a second. If by the third, she does not offer, she is gone.

This way, I know I have people around for whom my money is a minimal consideration. Whereas for you, it's the ONLY consideration.

Which brings us back to the topic in question. Quality of life. Having someone around who actually cares about you. Rather than someone who is only there for the remuneration.

When I lose interest in watching Jap porn and have a good <deleted>, I want to go!

And in all fairness, past 65 is more that enough. Homo Sapiens were not designed to live longer than 40 year.

You all old timers must know the feeling when, at 50, you still feel like you can do all the things you did at 30, but you can't! After that it's all downhill, sickness, injuries that take forever to heal, impotence.... you name it. 

I was 77 this week, and am still feeling like 40, not quite functioning as one though in some departments.

What's all this 'old timers' at 50. 

As a few have said, when things really start going bad, there are ways and means to sort it all out quickly and painlessly.

Well, I still feel like 25, but feeling like it and acting it are two very different things.

I feel like an 18 year old......but if the wife catches me I'm dead.

As expected you didn't answer the question

As you expected, I didn't answer the question in a way that you understand. Your brain only works with a fixed criteria.

Not an issue for me. You can carry on paying and convincing yourself it is the only possibility. In your case, it's probably true.
