Me? Live past 60? Nope. Sorry. The cons grievously outweigh the pros and I don't enjoy life enough to do so (No, I'm not depressed). I'll literally end myself before that happens. You people may enjoy reaching your 70s and beyond but not this IINer. And no, I'm not "missing out" and I won't "change my mind". If no one can force you to live a shorter life then no one can force me to live a longer one.

    Maybe you won't miss out and maybe you won't change your mind, I can't predict the future. But neither can you. So you are making claims you can't possibly know for certain. All you know is how you feel now. You won't know how you feel at 50, 60, 70 untill you get there.

    You'll sure as shit change your tune when you get there. Hell, I didn't even meet my wife until I was 64, and life has never been better.

    Why not just go until you feel you're not getting anything out of life instead of assuming that you'll end up like your idea of an old person by 60. Each generation redefines what it means to be a certain age. Healthy eighty year olds of today are like the 50 year olds of their parents' generation. My 85-year-old grandmother's life (she teaches 8 art classes and has many hobbies and friends) is fuller and more satisfying than it's ever been. She does more with her life than my parents and my siblings combined (it's all up to individual choice). Some of the best inventions, books, music, science etc. was/is discovered/created by the elderly (hardly doddering).

    You'll never know what you'll do in your seventie, eighties, and beyond until you get there. No one can tell you what to do in the end, but try to allow things to progress naturally and see how you feel when you arrive at 60, or 70 (imagine your future self shaking her/his head at you). I BET you'll still have TONS of life in you, and SO much you wanna do. Not everyone at 60 does, but if you stay healthy and culturally relevant, you will.

    Besides, wouldn't you wanna go out old, wise, respected, accomplished, and worldly like Gandalf, Queen Elizabeth, or Jane Goodall instead of cranky and listless during a mid-life crisis? (Plus, I think the elderly have a charm and stately beauty that tired, drawn middle aged people just don't have) No one wants to be a useless burden on society or loved ones, but just because you're past your prime physically, doesn't mean you'll start to lose it mentally as soon as you hit 55. I think you're naive, and you have a LOT of growing up to do. So, let it happen! Aging is only scary while you're young, trust me. The average life experience doesn't have to be your life experience, and it probably won't be.
