It does not make sense to me why people would want to live beyond 50 years old, especially since health problems start becoming more frequent around that age.

Which makes me ask: Why do people wish to live long beyond the age of 50?

I mean, health problems can happen whenever. It’s more likely as you get older, but tons of people have serious illnesses as young people. By that logic, should you just give up on life because you might get sick?

To actually answer your question, there’s a lot of stuff in the world that I really want to see and experience, and intend to do that as long as I possibly can. Definitely before I’m 50, but hopefully after as well. Yeah, maybe I have some things that crop up and make me need to modify my lifestyle, but I think if you’re trying to live somewhat healthy, 50 is young enough to get out in the world and do some living still. I wanna be there for that.

Most of the tech/protocols your using right now was made by people older than your arbirary age cutoff. Strange question.
