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?
Why would you want to live beyond whatever age you are now? If tomorrow you were diagnosed with, say, arthritis, would you want to die?
I’m in my 60s. I’m enjoying life. Why would I want to die?
The only people I’ve know who wanted to die either had problems with depression or were suffering from painful, incurable diseases.
