    Okay, but who wants to live a long life these days? Do you have any idea how many crises I would have to go through just for choosing a healthy lifestyle? No, gentlemen, I will not give up carbonara in exchange for more years of life.

      What a foolish question. You sound young.

      I’m 50. I’ve had six heart attacks, a below knee amputation, and I’m on dialysis after my kidneys failed. Life is not easy, and yet I still wish it to go on. I am probably going to die within a decade, and I hate that. I should have 2-3 more, dammit.

      People who die at 60 tend not to have very enjoyable 50’s.

      I want to live a high quality life at least to 75, if not 80, and I’m guessing that will make it much more likely that I end up living to 90 or 100.
