some people are expected to live more than 100 yrs and we get frequent attion of those people in news and magazine, well however living long life do you consider it as a boon or bane. You are out of money, not able to walk properly and your child is old too, see an indeonasian women who she born in 1876 and is still alive cutting onoions in her househonld recently found out during cecus calculation and her only daughter is now 78 yrs old. so what you think is it boon or bane, as every one expect to live long life it is not good to live a very long life and as for me it is bane and expected life should not be over 90 as it may also cause increase in population and increasing food security.

Living long is seriously a waste thing sice you tend to troublem the others around you ,coz you need a special attention .. so living upto 55 or 60 is good.. long life is a bane

Long life is actually a bane. You are retired, most of your children are old or passed away, your grandchildren are also old or passed away, and so much pain. Everyday, your going to suffer some kind of pain. Your backbone becomes irregular and bends, and is very hard to walk. Your bones become brittle. It is harder to breathe and you have a funky smell. You need a lot of help to get around. I don't see how someone enjoys being old.
