The Death Spiral
https://www.livescience.com/55557-death-spiral-is-fourth-phase-of-life.html?utm_source=notification
This is no surprise. We all have witnessed this. Yet sometimes, there is a flurry of energy, call it a last gasp. When the body seems to try to kick into over drive and lucidity and energy come back, but it is temporary then...this is the end, the only end my friend.

So the human study showed that some people between the ages of 92 and 100 got sick and died and some didn't get sick so bad and didn't die?
Who'd a though that would ever happen? |

Go talk to a good hospice nurse. They have some very interesting stories about what people go thru.

We are all different
This world is a wonderful place, and we all experience life in different ways.
thats why we are all different. Just keep doing it the way you know best.

"We'd like to make you fully functional up to the day you die." Seems like a worthy cause to me. My biggest fear is living with dementia for the last ten years of my life like my dad.

How you live, what you eat, what you do, even what you think. These are variables that probably don't apply as much to fruit flies in a jar.

Probably no one pays for it. Lots of research is funded through federal grants, some privately and some through university endowments.
With the US now being financed by fake money nobody is actually paying anything, the bills just keep piling up, unpaid. |

There are actuarial tables on the internet to tell a person what their probability of living in terms of length in years. It looks like I am going to be a pita for about twenty more years!
Of course I am an eternal optimist.

Statistic are... 100% of people die.
Like has been said my only fear is living my last 10 years in pain or dementia. My mom said she was good to 80, past at 93 and was ready to go.

Funny, this was the topic of a dinner conversation with a friend who is a few years older than me. His older brother moving to a care facility, he commenting on how rapidly his brother deteriorated once it began.
I'm with those who fear dementia or a stroke more than death. Since I spend so much time mowing a large lawn with a 21" walk behind mower, I figure a nice sudden and fatal heart attack while doing that would be okay. In the meantime, I'll try to be like Milner in American Grafitti: "I'm staying right here. Having fun as usual."

At age 85 the fridge killed my dad. He got up to get a beer but it was empty.
A few years prior doc told him he has an aortic aneurism. Dad asked what would happen if he declined the serious surgery required to repair it. If it pops you'll die. It did. He was standing there looking in the fridge and just fell over dead. Strong active man until very near the end. He did it the right way. |
