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’m going to guess you’re a child or something, because 50 is not old at all lmao.
Especially if you actually take care of yourself. If you eat right and stay active, barring genetic issues, you can generally expect to live well beyond that and have a high quality of life with fewer health issues.
A male that is 50 has a median expectancy of another 30 years of life. A female has a median of another 33.45 years.
I know plenty of healthy, active 50+ year olds.
