What age would you like to be when you die? I know that I want to live to be at least 75, but not too much older, because then things stop working. What about you, how old would you like to be when you die?

I want to live for as long as I want to live. Once I start thinking about dying then there's no point for me to live anymore.

My nan lived a full and happy life until her 79th birthday when she passed away. Looking at her, I still felt that she had more life in her but she knew it was her time to go. I would want to live long enough to enjoy life and to be able to be there for my family but not so long that old age takes too greater hold. I feel so sad when I look at elderly people who are just helpless. I would never want to get like that. When my time comes, I want to be able to go out with dignity. Not just for my own sake but for the sake of my family.

It's hard to say how old I would like to die and it doesn't controlled by myself too.When I am young,I thought that it's better to live as long as I can,and now,I don't think so. I would like to have a better life at my middle age so that I can enjoy most of my time.But when I came old,I would be a man cannot hear,smell or even see anything.So to be an old man is not a good thing as I think. But as the science develop,maybe someone will also have their happy life when they are very very old...At least?I think I also have no answer for myself now...maybe when I am very very old,I will know the answer...who knows what the life of old age will be when he is young. And I think that is some of the questions that everyone on the earth has thought about but most will not know what is the answer...haha beeduzhe

I want to live until the day I die. What I really mean by that is if I die tomorrow then my work here is done but if I stay around another 50-60 years then I will continue to do as much as I can up until that point. I know some people that are 90 years old and get around like they were still 18. On the other hand I know people in thier 40's that should be looking for a place to be buried. Take each day one day at a time and make the most out of each day that is given you.

Life is beautiful, and i would like to live forever, as young as i am now, but this is not possible. I don`t think i have a specific age when i want to die, but when i feel i can`t no longer take care of myslef alone, and i am ill, i don`t want to be a burden for my children, and grandchildren, so then i want to die, maybe around 75-80.
