We do a lot better than even 100 years ago.
Wander around any old graveyards in your locality, and you'll soon notice that most folks were gone by the time they were fifty.
It's a bit of an eye opener when you first see it.
:grandmais
oh yeah we putting up a good fight vs. the natural aging process that's for sure
not gonna deny that....
but at the same time many people living to an old age aren't themselves anymore and lead a pretty miserable/painful life near the end
i'd rather go at 50 in my sleep
than have to fight cancer for 20 years of my life and live to 70
death is such a weird thing to me not sure why people fear it so much....once you done for you won't know it
unless there's some magical afterlife i suppose and i guess since i didn't choose a specific god i have a better shot of ending up in some sort of hell
