My grandmother lived to the age of 101.
For the last 5 years she was in a home because she needed constant care. She couldn't see, she couldn't hear, she could barely communicate and that was nearly all complaining.
Near the end she broke her pelvis by doing basically nothing.
The doctor said he could repair it, but why? His recommendation was just to up her meds and keep her as comfortable as possible until she dies. As cold as that sounds it made sense.
I'd bet that anyone who knew her wondered if it would have been better for her if she didn't live quite so long.
I have no aspirations or desire for a very long life. As soon as I've finished taking care of my wife and kids and making sure they're set for their entire lives, I'll consider that just about enough.
